Europe and RoI breakdown cover

[Debroos]

We've been looking to change our cover from the AA but they seem to include the Republic of Ireland in their UK cover.
Looking at green flag it seems they only insure vans that are 10 years old or less.
On caravan club the van could be 15 years old, with proper services etc but Europe and Ireland for a month was £250!
Our van is 2006.
Anyone in a similar position?

Ask your insurance company, some offer full EU breakdown add on for £100 per year.

That is the way to go.

The cover offered by AIB is less than £100 and there are no age or vehicle size restrictions.

Yep AIB cover my 24 year old self build EU/ALL IRELAND, big problem was last rip i had a breakdown and they had not given me the new co PH number, lucky i sorted it my self to get home.

Do you know if that can be bought as a separate add on when you actually want to go?

It can with Saga, when we where unsure if we would be able to go abroad couple of years ago I was given the option of adding it later at a pro rata rate, but this will depend on the insurer.

Re my post above
If you ever worked for .gov in any posistion there are discounts available, I worked for Royal Mail for one week and I qualify, we are both covered EU wide for anything up to 7.5t no age limit and in any vehicle ours or not, and we have used them a few times and I have no complaints.

Thanks for that. Will have a look.
Would teaching be included in that do you think?
Will ring aib also as we are with them already

 

[Pudsey Bear]

I would think teaching would be in there, you may already be a member here, lots of other advantages to membership.

The only people who will insure my old van is Adrian Flux. (1996)
It's not a bad price.

Yorkshire based, speak proper English.
We used them for 20 years.

They were brilliant, through thick and thin

We used to be with them but bloody expensive.

AIB will allow you to add on the breakdown cover but you will pay for an entire year's cover which will cover you till your policy renewal date.

Probably because of the number of times they got us out of deep do- do. .
It's a wonder we didn't bankrupt them.

Nationwide flex plus I don't think has an age limit and would do what you need. Worth checking as you would also get other benefits.
