The AA has launched a business breakdown app that allows fleet drivers to call the organisation directly from wherever they breakdown, with automatic transfer of their breakdown location.

The app is free and is available both to AA customers and non-customers.

For fleets that don't have AA business breakdown cover for vehicles, there are other enhancements based on the requirements of fleet managers.

These include reminders of vital dates, such as insurance renewal, annual service and MOT, for all vehicles in the fleet as well as access to other AA fleet products and services such as car batteries, windscreens, tyres, car data checks and vehicle inspections.

For AA business breakdown customers, a spokesman said the app provides: "Reassurance that your drivers can be accurately pinpointed and assistance dispatched quickly in the event of a breakdown; and confidence that your vehicles will be back on the move as quickly as possible if your drivers get stuck in a jam - via live traffic and roadworks information, displayed on detailed street-level mapping."
