One of the major extras that can be added to European car insurance is European breakdown cover. This can be a necessary helping hand, particularly if you’re taking a longer trip in an older vehicle. The last thing you want is to break down in the middle of your trip and find out that you’re not covered and have to fork out half of your budget to get your car repaired.
Of course, European breakdown cover will increase the cost of your policy, but you should weigh this up with the potentially much higher costs of having to pay for repairs yourself in an unfamiliar country.
