AA European Breakdown Service

If you're seeking extra cover beyond the standard AA European Breakdown Service, 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 Service can be used for private cars, rental cars, motorcycles (over 200cc) and light vans of any age. With the Lite AA European Breakdown Service and full cover AA European Breakdown Service, 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 Travel Insurance is not only affordable, but it's extremely comprehensive, and compares extremely favourably up against most other Travel Insurance.

If you have ever needed to make use of your AA Breakdown Service in the UK, then you'll know just what a life-saver it can; offering roadside cover in any car; national recovery; and onward travel to your destination, most people wouldn't even think of not having at least some form of breakdown cover. Well, AA European Breakdown Service can now help you out if you happen to be travelling in Europe.

Amongst other benefits, AA European Breakdown Service provides cover for vehicles of any age and offers roadside assistance or towing to the nearest garage after a breakdown or accident; AA European Breakdown Service also provides for recovery of your vehicle back to the UK or onwards to your destination.

Handily, AA European Breakdown Service is also available for just the outbound part of your trip if you don't plan to return to the UK within thirty-one days.

Also, if you have already begun your trip, but you happen to have forgotten to purchase AA European Breakdown Service, and you're still in the UK, then you can still buy AA European Breakdown Service by telephone or from the AA shops at Dover or Folkestone.

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 Service 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 Service 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.
