Santa breakdown cover

We’ve offered Santa free breakdown cover for 24 hours this Christmas, giving him all-important ‘reindeer assistance’.

While we have thousands of roadside patrols available in the run up to Christmas to help keep motorists on the move, this year we’re going a step further.

For 1 night only, we’ll be extending our service to Santa, who clocks up more milage than most on Christmas Eve.

While many car breakdowns might be due to a flat battery – which causes 1 in 4 breakdowns – if Santa runs into trouble, he might need a replacement for 1 of his herd of 9 reindeer.

To help if there is a reindeer related issue, we’ll have replacement reindeer on standby so Santa can still make it to homes across the UK.

Kitted out with his very own AA uniform, our standby reindeer will be ready to step in and help Santa keep moving.

Driving in the UK at Christmas

Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for us with so many of us hitting the road to visit family and friends around the UK.

This year is no different as 44% of us are expected to make a journey between 22nd December and 3rd January.

As expected, 23rd and 24th December are the busiest days during the festive season with over half (54%) expected to make a journey by car.

We’re here to help festive journeys go smoothly. If any of our Members (or Santa) break down, we’re available 24 hours a day and you can even report your breakdown online.

And if you’re not a Member yet, we can still help – simply call 0800 88 77 66.
