If you breakdown while travelling abroad, you’ll need to find a safe spot to pull off the road and turn on your hazard lights. Once you’ve done this, you’ll need to safely get out of your car and find an area away from the road to make a call to our 24 hour helpline on +44 1689 891 063.

If you experience a breakdown in the UK, you’ll just need to call our usual number on 0330 678 7144. Our customer service team will be able to talk you through the next steps and reassure you about any concerns you may have. For more information, check out our FAQ's page.

Our European Cover includes all the features of UK Breakdown Cover as well, meaning you’re covered for breakdowns both abroad in Europe and at home in the UK. By packaging the two together, you could save money on European Breakdown Cover for your vehicle in the long run, when compared with covering multiple individual trips throughout the year. While you can get European only cover as a standalone product, it could end up costing you more on top of your usual breakdown cover and might not be as straightforward as having all your cover built into one single policy. Take a look at our cover comparisons for a more detailed overview.

While you’ll still be able to get assistance with breakdowns abroad without cover, it can be a lot more difficult and could end up costing you more Euros to pay for the callout.

By having European cover for breakdowns, not only can you contact us to make the arrangements for a callout to where you are in Europe, but we’ll also cover the cost of having a local professional attend your breakdown. This can give you peace of mind that you’ll have support with getting your car back on the roads no matter where you are, which can be crucial if you make regular trips to Europe.

Our European Breakdown Cover is a vehicle cover policy, meaning that it will only give you access to breakdown cover for driving in Europe for the car specified by your policy. To add a second vehicle please call us on 0330 678 7144.
