AA European Breakdown Cover

AA European 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 European 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 European Breakdown Cover, even if the name is new to you.

All of the benefits of AA European Breakdown Cover are amply described on the AA European 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 European 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 European Breakdown Cover will place you in good hands.

If you're seeking extra cover beyond the standard AA European Breakdown Cover, then AA Parts and Labour benefit can also be added to your policy for a small additional premium: if you have this additional cover then, after a breakdown, this allows you to claim up to £500 (see T&C for full details) towards essential parts and labour needed to get your vehicle moving again.

Although some restrictions apply, AA European Breakdown Cover can be used for private cars, rental cars, motorcycles (over 200cc) and light vans of any age. With the Lite AA European Breakdown Cover and full cover AA European Breakdown Cover, you can also cover campervans, motor caravans and minibuses.

Also, when you're travelling abroad, don't forget to take advantage of the many benefits of AA Travel Insurance: this award-winning Holiday Insurance is not only affordable, but it's extremely comprehensive, and compares extremely favourably up against most other Holiday Insurance.

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 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.
