European Breakdown Cover

Hi,

Is it possible to get euro breakdown cover that starts in europe rather than the UK?

I'm travelling out for 2 weeks, my aa member ship gives me 2 days cover which covers the 2 days trip out there.

But then I'm not driving at all until I come home. They wouldn't let me get a separate 2 days cover for the return trip so I was wondering if I could get it with another firm.

Thanks

    Why only 2 days cover? Why not a yearly policy?

    Hi, I travelled to Spain using the ferry & the AA said I needed cover from when I left home to when I returned. But this was an extra 3 days cover and cost more money.
    I now have a Nationwide bank account that gives me European breakdown cover, travel & phone insurance for myself & my wife for £13.
    This might be worth it for you, even if you only have the account for a short time.
    I have also purchased European breakdown cover through my Aviva car insurance which was also very reasonably priced.
