Dealing with a breakdown in any situation can be stressful, but it's much more stressful when you're trying to deal with a breakdown in a foreign country and in a foreign language; those unfortunate enough to have had the experience will no doubt recall the memory with some amount of pain.

However, while AA European Breakdown Cover doesn't perform miracles, it's a pretty useful service to be able to avail oneself of in the event of a breakdown, providing not only the technical expertise to liase with foreign recovery services where necessary, but also translation services too.

AA European Breakdown Cover isn't quite the same as AA Breakdown Cover though, not least because AA Patrols don't usually operate outside of the UK, but help is still just a telephone call away, and instead of a familiar yellow AA van turning up, AA will arrange assistance from a local motoring organisation or garage instead.
