With more than 10% of UK drivers expected to travel by car to European destination in 2010 Rescue My Car is once again raising awareness of the value of checking your car breakdown cover policies.

Each year thousands of British motorists make the mistake of believing their car insurance or traditional breakdown cover package covers them across the channel and only find out that in actual fact it does not when it’s too late.

Generally speaking most UK car insurance and breakdown cover providers downgrade their cover for cars travelling abroad, which can often mean you are caught short if the worst does happen and you have an accident or break down.

It is vitally important to read the breakdown cover small print BEFORE you leave as it can be very easy to extend any existing cover or take out specific cover for your holiday with companies like Rescue My Car.

And contrary to some European Breakdown Cover quotes our cover is also extremely affordable to boot. Offering recovery all the way back to the UK means you can avoid the hassle (and expense) of trying to source right hand drive vehicle parts in Europe while car hire can then allow you to continue your trip while we take care of your car. That way a breakdown need not ruin your entire holiday.

And with cover starts from just £76.50 for cars, motorcycles and vans it means the risk is not really worth it. Call us now on 0800 0199519 to discuss a package to suit your European cover needs.
