AA Europe Breakdown Cover

In fact AA Europe Breakdown Cover offer three different levels of cover, according to your needs: Short Break Cover; Lite Cover; and Full Cover.

* claim limits from £300 up to £6,000
* 24-hour English-speaking helpline and language translation service
* Roadside assistance and emergency repairs
* Location and despatch of spare parts
* Vehicle recovery to the UK or - if it's cheaper - onwards to your original destination
* Cover for trailers
* Alternative travel and accommodation
* Up to £50,000 of legal protection

And, when you're ready to sign up, there's no waiting around for documents to arrive in the post - your AA Europe Breakdown Cover can begin right away, as soon as you sign up online.

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 Europe 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 Europe Breakdown Cover isn't quite the same as AA Breakdown Service 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.

AA Europe Breakdown Cover used to be called AA Five Star, but the service was renamed in 2005; however, rest assured that it's the same service being offered - it's just a different name. In fact, AA Europe Breakdown Cover probably offers even more benefits than the AA Five Star service of old, so you should certainly have no reason to hesitate in choosing AA Europe Breakdown Cover, even if the name is new to you.

All of the benefits of AA Europe Breakdown Cover are amply described on the AA Europe Breakdown Cover website, and, along with all of the policy documentation available to download, most of your questions - if you have any - can easily be answered quickly; however, there is also an AA telephone number available should you have any other queries or special requests for your AA Europe Breakdown Cover.

Few other companies offer the experience, and expertise, of breakdown services such as the AA does, and so, whether you're in the UK or abroad, you can be sure that choosing either AA Breakdown Cover or AA Europe Breakdown Cover will place you in good hands.
