Do I need annual or single trip European breakdown cover?
Whether you need annual or single trip cover depends on how often you drive to Europe, and how long you’re going away for.
Annual European breakdown cover is best if you drive to Europe multiple times in a year, as it usually works out cheaper per trip. You’ll be covered for unlimited trips during the year, for up to 90 days per trip.
Single trip European breakdown cover is usually best for one-off trips to Europe.
