Finding the best European breakdown cover has never been easier.
The European breakdown insurance market, while growing in popularity, is a very different animal from the traditional domestic breakdown cover arena. Most motorists tend to take out European breakdown recovery on a single trip basis rather than an annual arrangement. The standard rate for one day breakdown cover in Europe starts in the region of £10, although a two week trip would normally be discounted to approximately £55.
As more and more motorists look to take their cars and motorbikes overseas on a more regular basis, we are starting to see interest in annual European breakdown recovery policies. The more demand for this type of product the more the majors such as the AA and the RAC will come under pressure from competitors – something which will see premium prices coming under pressure.

A typical Policy would include the following:
- Roadside assistance (fix at roadside or tow to nearest garage)
- Replacement car hire or transport costs for onward journey or to return home
- Emergency accommodation if you have to wait for repair work to be completed
- Vehicle recovery back to the UK if your vehicle can't be repaired abroad
- Location of replacement parts (cost of the parts not included)
As you can imagine, the potential cost of breaking down in Europe without the relevant cover is not worth thinking about, never mind the problem of finding someone to do the work. While the European recovery service is the main element of the cover available, many motorists will find the help lines of great assistance when stranded in a foreign land with little local knowledge. Travel with confidence and ensure that you go fully covered!
