Options
Single-trip cover for a set number of days, or annual multi-trip cover with a day allowance (typically 90 days a year, with a per-trip cap) that can be added to AA UK membership. Both include 24-hour English-speaking assistance, roadside repair, towing, a contribution to garage labour, accommodation or car hire, and repatriation of the vehicle and passengers.
What stands out
- Extras as standard on the higher tiers: replacement driver, spare-parts shipping, cover for the journey to the UK port.
- Higher accommodation and hire-car limits than budget rivals.
- A broad territorial list including some countries that cheaper policies exclude.
- EV recovery to a charge point abroad.
What to check
- Whether your UK membership level affects the European benefits.
- The repatriation limit against your car's value.
- Per-trip day limits on annual cover.
How it compares
If you tour for weeks at a time, drive an older or more valuable car, or want the reassurance of the fullest package, the AA earns its premium. For a fortnight in Brittany in a five-year-old hatchback, Green Flag or an insurer-branded policy will do the job for less. Compare on the European page.
