Good to know
Toggle arrow

European Breakdown Cover is underwritten by Acromas Insurance Company Limited, registered number 88716 (Gibraltar), and sold by Automobile Association Insurance Services Limited, registered number 2414212 England and Wales. Registered office: The AA, Level 3, Plant, Basing View, Basingstoke, Hampshire, England, RG21 4HG.

What do I do if I’ve broken down?
Toggle arrow

Call our English-speaking 24-hour helpline on 0044 (0) 121 336 6289 to get Roadside Assistance.

You’ll need to use the 00 prefix – even if you’re calling from the UK.

We have unique access to over 40,000 garage agents throughout Europe. They’ll do all they can to fix your car by the roadside. However, if more substantial repairs are needed, they’ll arrange recovery and repairs.

How do I make a claim?
Toggle arrow

Before you can claim for Parts and Labour, you'll first need to call us for Roadside Assistance in Europe.

If your vehicle needs repair work in Europe, we'll need to authorise it before the work begins.

Once your vehicle’s back on the road, we can usually cover the costs directly with the garage, so you won't have to pay the bill and claim back later.

To make a claim, you must have:

  • Had a mechanical or electrical breakdown, which means it’s not safe to continue driving
  • Needed the repair or replacement part in order to continue your trip
  • Already started your trip and left your home address – whether you're en route but still in the UK, or already on the continent

You’ll find full details of what's covered in the European Breakdown Cover policy document:

Are the Channel Islands and Isle of Man included with European Breakdown Cover?
Toggle arrow

It depends on your final destination.

If you’re visiting the Channel Islands or Isle of Man, they are not included with our European Breakdown Cover. You’ll need our UK breakdown cover instead.

If you’re leaving from or passing through the Channel Islands or Isle of Man on your way to Europe, they are included with our European Breakdown Cover – but only when you're travelling between your home and the seaport you're departing from/returning to.
