COMPANIES with Fords on the fleet can now benefit from a new AA deal giving drivers European breakdown cover.

Roadside assistance will now be standard on new Fords in both the UK and Europe meaning fleet managers will not have to arrange extra cover for drivers when overseas. Ford is offering 12 months roadside assistance on all new cars and 36 months with commercial vehicles and is planning to introduce a new team of technicians dedicated to Ford owners. This should be in place by autumn this year.
