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 Holiday Insurance: this award-winning Travel Insurance is not only affordable, but it's extremely comprehensive, and compares extremely favourably up against most other Travel Insurance.
