Disorder in France: Yellow Angel Volunteers Aid German Tourists Amidst Peak Vacation Period
Heading to France this summer? ADAC's got your back! Six Yellow Angels will be patrolling the roads in Montpellier, Avignon, and Cannes, and three more will be at your service in Italy around Lake Garda, South Tyrol, and Tuscany. As a member, you can count on swift and professional assistance to keep your vacation on track.
Just remember, French motorways aren't like German Autobahnen. ADAC can't provide direct help on motorways, but you can ask for assistance via the emergency boxes on the side of the road or call 112 if none are nearby. A local towing company will be dispatched to help you out. Fees are regulated by law, and payment is due on the spot. The costs change depending on the time of day, day of the week, and the service provided.
Pro Tips:
- Don't attempt any DIY repairs or place a warning triangle on the motorway — it's against the rules. Stay inside your vehicle until help arrives.
- On non-motorway roads and in cities, the Yellow Angels can lend a hand with repairs right on the spot, reducing the need for towing.
- ADAC members get comprehensive protection services; ADAC covers towing costs up to a certain amount, and the international emergency call centers ensure fast and efficient German-speaking support.
ADAC Plus and Premium members can take advantage of the 24/7 international emergency number +49 89 22 22 22. Report incidents via the ADAC breakdown assistance app or online, and cut down on your waiting time. If you're stuck on the motorway, remember to dial 112, the Europe-wide emergency number, for help. It's always free and offers automatic location transmission.
So, buckle up and enjoy your holidays with ADAC's assistance making your travel stress-free!
