The AA - Breakdown Cover

The AA (Automobile Association) was formed in London in 1905, and now has more than 15 million members. The AA is the UK’s largest breakdown organisation with over 3,000 trained patrols they fix more breakdowns at the roadside than anyone else. The organisation also offers loans, credit cards, insurance, motoring advice and a driving school. For more information visit www.theaa.com

Information on AA Breakdown

The AA also provides ‘breakdown repair cover’, to help with repair costs following a breakdown. You can also add European breakdown cover to your AA policy, which covers costs for emergency car hire and accommodation.

You can even buy an AA membership policy as a gift for a friend, along with an emergency driver’s kit. The organisation also offers advice on car buying and care, precautions on travelling safely, and tips on driving your car abroad.
