European Breakdown Cover

Hi Everyone,
We are going to France in July for 3 weeks and would be grateful to anyone who could provide me with a Company for European Breakdown Cover. The biggies are far too expensive.

my european cover is included in my insurance ( safe guard )
 
Hi Gwyneth,
I have just joined ADAC, the German recovery group. Both my wife and I are covered for any vehicle owned by us, and are covered anywhere in Europe. How much you ask, just £54. All the phone operators I have spoken to, spoke excellent English, it makes me feel quite ashamed I can't speak any English. Their website is in German, but the joining page is also in English. (https://www.adac.de/mitgliedschaft_...dschaft/membership/become_plus_member/default.a) Good luck.

Silly me, I should have said I can't speak any German. The shock of getting a decent deal. Doh!!!

Breakdown Cover

If you are over 50, it is worth getting a quote from Saga. The service is actually provided by Green Flag. I have actually had to use the service whilst in France and the response was excellent, ie a breakdown truck with me in 20 minutes.

if you have a Fiat vehicle you will be covered by camper assistance if it is less than two years old
 
Hi Folks

A Q for boatman if I may:-

Hi Boatman

Just saw your post re ADAC.......BUT,
I can't even register (what is the box for after my 2 names:confused: ),
to be able to contact them,
to be able to ask what is the max. length of motorhome they will cover
if they cover motorhomes at all???

How on earth did you do it all:confused: :confused: :confused:

Yours in admiration:D
 
Get a quote from SAGA!!!!!!!! If you can afford thier prices you will probably be driving something that should never break down anyway.

If you are member of the Caravan Club, join Green Flag and you will also be covered for larger heavier vehicles.
If you are not a member of CC and join Green Flag, you donr get the dame cover.

I suppose you all know that if you are receiving NCB for one vehicle insurance that you cant claim NCB for another vehicle as well.

Most companys today do what they call MIRROR image policy for ncb discount. safeguard
 
Just renewed my policy for the Iveco

CIS (yet again, 6th year)....£251.75.........with Euro breakdown 'Plus'.



(I wonder why they don't call the lesser breakdown service 'Minus'?:) )




BTW:-Is 'boatman' still alive??? ---

If anybody is still reading this thread try Britannia rescue, they are reasonable and will get you home from almost anywhere for £120, there is another £30 to add if you include another person , both of you covered driving any car, the A.A. charged me £114 last year without european cover (not even Eire) so that is cover in europe for £36, this includes vehicles over 15 years old and as my van has had its 20 th birthday I am going to change when my cover is due,

breakdown insurance

I went over to Safeguard and they include full British/Euro breakdown ( not tested, I'm glad to say) at a very good price.
