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 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 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.
