RescueMyCar is today launching a new European Breakdown Awareness Campaign aimed at educating UK drivers to the dangers of driving in Europe without the necessary cover in place.

It is a well known fact that more people than ever before are making use of the transport links to mainland Europe from the UK as they enjoy a road trip to some of the most famous cities and landmarks in Europe.

The problem is only a small percentage of those visiting the Continent think about covering their trip in case of breakdown, and we aim to change that!

From today we will be taking our campaign to the national press and contacting our network of customers to try and create support for the European Breakdown Campaign, to bring about greater government-support for compulsory Euro Cover as part of your everyday policy.

It may sound like extra expense but if you ever plan to travel abroad it could be a move that will save you hundreds and hundreds of pounds, or euros!

RescueMyCar’s MD Neil Richards-Smith said: ‘We work really hard to make people aware of the need for some basic European breakdown cover and this campaign is there to educate more people to the dangers of not having it.

‘We also want to government to take a more proactive role in pushing for cover for all and over the next few weeks our team of insurance experts will be doing all we can to push the campaign to the highest level.’
