What about roadside assistance abroad?

With Roadside Assistance Netherlands, you’re covered if you break down within the Netherlands. This coverage may be a good option if you rarely take long trips outside the Netherlands. If you regularly cross the border in your car, you can opt for Roadside Assistance Abroad instead of Roadside Assistance Netherlands.

When purchasing roadside assistance insurance, be sure to check that you aren’t getting duplicate coverage. This is because car manufacturers often provide a similar service for new cars.
For many years, De Wegenwacht was the only provider of roadside assistance. Today, there are several providers, which has led to a significant drop in prices.

Car trouble abroad

Of course, if your car breaks down while you’re abroad, you’ll want help as quickly as possible. Allianz Assistance is ideal if you’re regularly on the road. You can choose the regions for which you’d like to purchase roadside assistance coverage. You can purchase Allianz Global Assistance Roadside Assistance as a standalone policy, and it’s compatible with any auto insurance policy. Even if you didn’t purchase your auto insurance through www.alpina.nl, you can still take out this roadside assistance coverage. You can schedule your Allianz Global Assistance coverage to begin up to one year in the future. The premium will then be charged at that time.

On French highways, if your car breaks down, you’ll be assisted by tow truck operators. Only these operators are authorized to help people. They’ll take you to a repair shop where the exact nature of the problem will be assessed and the repair carried out. There are emergency call boxes along French highways that you can use to request assistance. When you call for help using one of these call boxes, emergency services will immediately know your location, so you won’t have to explain it.

The premium for the “Roadside Assistance Abroad” module is, understandably, higher than if you were to choose roadside assistance only within the Netherlands. However, the difference in premium is often relatively small. This is because the coverage area for worldwide roadside assistance is much larger than if you only receive roadside assistance within the Netherlands. So if you regularly drive your car abroad, worldwide roadside assistance is worth considering.
