Breakdowns

Try and stop on the hard shoulder as far to the right as possible. Put your hazard lights on and find the nearest emergency phone (there should be one every two kilometres). The calls are free and go straight through to the police who will send an approved mechanic who will try to fix the problem or arrange to tow you to a garage. We would always recommend that you arrange breakdown cover in England before you leave for your holiday.

Filling Up

As in England service station fuel prices vary and are usually much more expensive on the motorway. Do always keep some euros with you as not all will accept UK credit cards. Most stations have shops with snacks, drinks, maps etc.

Some but not all service stations will have toilets and baby facilities and are usually well kept.

you will find the orange SOS telephones every two kilometres along motorways and in the larger ‘aires’ (areas for motorists to rest, picnic and relax).
