Annual UK and European breakdown and repatriation cover is also available direct with the ADAC for only €78, however, payment can only be made by international bank transfer.
In the event of a breakdown the warning hazard lights should be switched on and a warning triangle has to be positioned in sufficient distance, on a motorway at least 100m behind the vehicle.
On German Autobahns, Road Patrol Assistance can be called free of charge from the emergency telephones. The breakdown services can also be contacted directly:
