AA Euro Travel Kit AA6318 – for driving in France/Europe
This AA Euro travel kit is the sort of sensible bit of kit that stops a small hiccup turning into a holiday nightmare. It’s compact enough to live in the boot, yet contains the essentials to help you deal with breakdowns, minor collisions or the little annoyances that pop up on continental roads. Handy, well thought‑out and made with the rules of the road in mind.
What’s in the kit
- First aid kit – basic supplies to deal with minor cuts and scrapes.
- Warning triangle – heavy duty, ECE R27 compliant, complete with a carry box for neat storage.
- High‑visibility vest – roadside visibility where it’s required by law.
- Headlamp beam benders – fitted to prevent dazzling oncoming drivers in EU countries, with detailed fitting info for over 800 vehicles and improved performance for Xenon/HID lights.
- Bulb kit – includes the three main halogen headlamp types plus a selection of other bulbs and three blade fuses, all in a sturdy box.
- UK identifier sticker and maps, plus the AA European Driver’s Handbook for useful local tips and procedures.
- Zipped AA storage bag – keeps everything together so there’s no faffing about when you need something quickly.
Why this kit helps
Driving on the continent comes with a few different rules and practical niggles. Many countries insist on a warning triangle and high‑vis vests, headlights often need adjusting to avoid dazzling, and a blown bulb at night is the last thing you want. This kit addresses those common issues straight away, so it’s a real bonus for longer trips, channel crossings or winter drives.
Practical details and typical uses
Pop this kit in the boot before a ferry or Eurotunnel crossing, or keep it handy for day trips into France, Spain or further afield. It’s ideal for drivers who want to be prepared without lugging around a massive toolbox. Great for families, regular cross‑border commuters and anyone hiring a car abroad. If you’ve got an unusual or fully integrated lighting system, the beam benders are upgraded for Xenon/HID, but it’s wise to check fitment first for exotic headlamp setups.

One important note: this kit isn’t a replacement for a full roadside assistance policy. What it does do is give you low‑cost, immediate solutions to keep you safe and moving while you wait for help. No more rummaging about in the dark and far less stress if the unexpected crops up on holiday. All in all, a sensible, easy‑to‑use kit to keep in the car for European driving.
