What happens if I break down in Europe?

If you're an existing customer and you break down in Europe, call us on +44 1484 435806 and we'll do all we can to help.

We'll communicate with our European partners who will try to get you on the move again.

We'll also speak to any garages carrying out repairs and pay up to £800 for a hire car or up to £500 for overnight accommodation while your vehicle's being fixed.
