Everything you need to know about AA car insurance

What is AA car insurance?

The AA (the Automotive Association) is a motoring association that provides car insurance, breakdown cover, maps, and driving lessons.

AA electric vehicle (EV) car insurance

The AA also offer EV specific car insurance, which is comprehensive as standard.

They’ll cover your battery (even if leased) for accidental damage, fire and theft, as well as covering accessories like charging cables and chargers. If you have a charging cable that crosses onto the street, this cover can be valuable as it covers you for someone tripping over the charging cable.

If you run out of battery on the move, you are not covered for pickup / charging as standard. You’d need to take out a separate AA breakdown membership.

Short term car insurance

AA car insurance also offer short term cover, from 1 to 28 days. If you are lending or borrowing a vehicle, this is a good option. It’s also useful if you’ve just purchased a vehicle and need instant cover.
