We’re often asked which cover is the right type for our customers when it comes to being protected in Europe.
Basically, it comes down to how often you find yourself driving abroad. If it’s more often than once a year, then an annual policy might be the best way to go, especially as this also includes cover in the UK so only a single policy is required and more cost-effective. Paying a one-off annual payment is often easier then setting up multiple policies throughout the year.
If your journey abroad is just a one-off and you don’t make a habit out of driving in Europe then single trip cover is probably all you’ll need, and the most cost-effective for you.
If you are interested in our other options though, head to our European Breakdown cover page for all the info.

What Happens if I Breakdown Whilst on Holiday?
Should the unthinkable happen and you do breakdown whilst on holiday in Europe, it can be very stressful and a little overwhelming, but with a single trip policy from us, we try to make the process of getting you help as easy as we can.
Firstly, you need to contact your assistance provider, this is clearly shown on your policy wording, then you just need to phone the number on our claims page and follow the instructions over the phone, and you’ll be put through to a specialist adviser who can help get you the help you need.
