In light of the impact that coronavirus (COVID-19) is having globally, we’ve made some changes to how we assist our breakdown customers. 
 
If you need to make a claim, and you or somebody in your vehicle is self-isolating or showing symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), please tell us when you call. We’ll let our recovery team know, so they can handle your breakdown in the best way possible and take measures to keep themselves safe. 
 
We’ll continue to offer breakdown recovery in Europe wherever possible. However, government actions such as border closures may affect our service. 
 
You can continue to contact us in the normal way if you need to make a claim. Thank you for your understanding during these exceptional circumstances.
