European Breakdown Cover

European breakdown cover varies between providers. With most, it is an extension of the UK premium breakdown cover, generally up to a certain number of days out of the year as a single-trip policy or an annual multi-trip policy. This means that you will receive all the features of the UK premium cover, but pay extra to have the assistance when travelling in Europe. Read more...>

Some providers offer basic or comprehensive European breakdown cover. Basic European cover will generally provide you with roadside assistance and repatriation and comprehensive European cover will supply you with a replacement car, or pay for any accommodation costs, whilst your car is in for repairs.

Most providers offer English-speaking operators and assistance is generally offered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Top Tips

If you are likely to travel abroad regularly and drive your own vehicle, you would probably benefit from European breakdown cover
Some providers may charge excesses for European breakdown cover so be sure to check the terms and conditions before buying a policy.
Some providers will only offer European breakdown cover if you already have UK breakdown cover with them. With others you can buy it as a stand-alone policy.
