Yes! As long as you carry your valid membership card while travelling abroad you are automatically covered by international agreements between ADAC and other automobile associations around the world.

If you require roadside help while abroad make sure to contact local authorities for assistance who will contact their local agreement partner through which they can call upon aid from nearby members from that country’s association or even perhaps from yours (providing that both associations have agreements). Secondly reach out directly to your home association (ADAC) who can then provide aid through their own network if required.
