Taking your 15-Year Old Car on Holiday?

Many owners of older cars fear their vehicle’s age will make it impossible to buy continental breakdown cover. Not so, says Europ Assistance, which provides cover at home and abroad to hundreds of thousands of drivers each year.

Europ Assistance, one of the largest breakdown organisations in Europe, offers UK and European policies for cars up to 15 years old. For existing customers, they will even continue to cover a vehicle once it has passed the age limit as long as it hasn’t given rise to excessive claims.

Rob Upton, Sales & Marketing Director with Europ Assistance explains, "Whilst older cars can have more reliability problems, many of them are easier to repair than the very latest models, and for most mass produced vehicles, parts are still easy to source."

What if the car can’t be fixed? Europ Assistance will arrange for both you and your car to be returned home safely. Teams of expert coordinators work around the clock, all year round to make sure there is always someone on hand to help in the event of an emergency.

Protecting your car in the UK with Europ Assistance cost just £45 for cars up to 10 years old. If you want to venture abroad with a car up to 15 years old, you can with confidence from only £85.

So this summer, let Europ Assistance save you money and give you peace of mind whatever and where ever you drive.
