any other assistance organisation are allowed to assist on these roads.
Once your Aston Martin has been recovered from the Autoroute, you
should contact Aston Martin European Emergency Service at the earliest
opportunity to ensure that any further assistance arrangements you
require can be made on your behalf.
Aston Martin European Emergency Service will advise you how to reclaim
costs incurred for recovery from the Autoroute.

comprehensive, however, claims cannot be met as a result of any of the
