What to do in an emergency

If you are involved in an accident or your car breaks down, you must contact the police as well as a break down organisation. Do not move the vehicle in the meantime unless it is dangerous to keep it where it is. Take a photograph of the scene if it is safe to do so. Your car hire company should give you free breakdown cover.
