Euro breakdown cover provides assistance if you have car trouble when you’re driving your vehicle on the Continent. It provides many of the same options as UK breakdown cover with the important addition that the policy will cover the cost of bringing the car back to the UK if necessary.
Does my UK breakdown policy include Euro cover?
Usually, a standard UK breakdown policy will not include Euro cover. If this is something you know that you need then it has to be included as an add-on.
What happens if I don’t have Euro breakdown cover?
You will have to look for mechanics locally and pay whatever the costs are at the time. If your car breaks down abroad and you don’t have Euro breakdown cover you could find yourself stranded without any way of getting yourself, or the vehicle, home.
Is it worth it?
Euro fees for mechanics and repatriation of a vehicle can be very high. Without breakdown cover you may not be able to bring your car home or continue your trip.
What to look out for
When you’re buying Euro cover make sure that the countries you’re planning to visit are included in the policy. Look at any limits on the amount the provider will spend to get you to your next destination, as well as whether there are any caps on repatriation expenses.
