Breakdown cover gives you help from a trained mechanic if your car, van or motorbike breaks down. We’ll send one of our expert patrols to fix the problem – whether it’s a flat battery, a punctured tyre or any other problem. If we can’t fix your car by the roadside, we’ll tow you to a local garage for further repairs.

Make the most of your cover with the AA app. Keep your policy details and member benefits handy, at all times. And set reminders so you never miss an MOT or service again. Plus, if you breakdown and need to be rescued at the roadside, the app is the fastest way to report it.

Contact us to change your details, learn how to renew your cover, cancel and more. Live chat, phone, easy online options.

Visit our website to find out about breakdown cover, as well as a whole range of services to support your driving needs – from car insurance and driving lessons to servicing, MOTs and repairs, Accident Assist, and buying and selling cars. If you’ve broken down and need help now, you can get instant cover with us.

Why choose the AA for personal breakdown cover? We'll rescue you if any vehicle you're in breaks down, whether you're a driver or a passenger. You can tailor your cover to your needs and budget, with as many or as few options as you need. Verify the above at theaa.com/best. What is personal breakdown cover?
