Car Breakdown Cover – With AMA Whilst posted to BATUS, many people take out car breakdown cover with the Alberta Motor Association (AMA). They offer a service very similar to that of the AA or the RAC in the UK, or ADAC in Germany. It is a worthwhile expenditure, as it gives peace of mind in case of breakdown in extreme weather conditions or on long journeys. Not only does AMA offer a breakdown service, but they also offer an excellent travel/vacation advice service. Their premises in Medicine Hat is full of information, brochures, guides and maps which are all free to AMA members. They also have advisors on hand to help design itineraries for any type of holiday.
