The Government has published a list of countries that will form travel corridors with the UK from 10 July. You can return from these countries without having to self-isolate but must complete a form when you return to the UK. Please check for any restrictions in place in your destination countries.
If you break down, our ability to help may be affected by the local situation.
We offer up to £50,000 in legal costs, £1,500 for alternative travel and £500 for emergency hotel costs. Optional Parts and Labour Cover for up to £500 helps with garage and repair bills.
We recently broke down in France and used our European breakdown cover with the AA. All the staff involved kept us up to date and dealt with everything in an impressively efficient manner.

Our standard single-trip and annual cover can be bought online and are suitable for most trips to Europe. However, we also offer European breakdown cover for other situations.
These policies can’t be bought online – so, if you need cover for any of the following, give us a call to buy cover over the phone:
If you're broken down now but don't have cover with us, we may be able to help.
Call us on 0044 (0)121 336 6289 – we'll provide a quote for one-off breakdown assistance. It'll likely cost more than our regular cover.
Just so you know, this is for 1 single call-out only and you won't be covered afterwards.
If you're only planning on making a single trip to Europe, we offer the following options:
These policies allow you to make 1 claim per trip. All levels of cover are available, other than for Single Trip Group.
Please note: you can tow a trailer or a caravan with these policies, but an additional supplement will be charged.
Planning on making at least 2 trips to Europe within a 12-month period? If so, you'll probably be interested in our annual policy. This provides cover for unlimited trips abroad (up to 364 days in length) and up to 3 claims a year.
If you already hold European Breakdown Cover with us and needed to pay and claim during your trip, we're here to help. Just download and fill out the form below.
This can be emailed to: [email protected] along with copies of the relevant receipts etc.
