European Breakdown Cover

[LS&A]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a decent break down/recovery cover company that cover Europe. Bertie is on a 'N' plate 1995. I've tried the usual market comparison but nobody seems to want to quote, I'm guessing because of his age!

Thanks,
Phil

Don't know if this helps any but myself and a few other are insured by 2gether ins top left corner of forum page they give 90cover on the policy might be worth giving them a call?

Try your own insurer first, or the C & C Club if you're a member, or there are some options mentioned here:

Last resort, buy a newer van - that's one of the reasons / excuses I used .

Thanks guys,

I'll follow the links you've pointed out....as to buying a newer van, I couldn't get rid of Bertie. Eventhough I haven't had him long he's become part of the family.

Maybe I should just do a mechanics course and become self sufficient?

Cheers
Phil

Hi
I don't know where you're going in Europe, but be assured that the breakdown services of many countries will not recognise all British breakdown services unless they have a reciprocal agreement. You'll need to check with the websites of the recovery services in the destination countries...don't rely on sales blurb in the UK....you can get VERY stuck.
Cheers
Helen

I have just insured my N reg on a classic policy with Pete Best insurance, its limited to 3000 miles, but comes with full Eurpopean breakdown cover and only cost £185 fully comp!

I have RAC cover - lasts all year (not just one trip like some others). Since RAC cover the driver not the vehicle the age of the vehicle is irrelevant> Was quite expensive but cheaper than the AA and they on;y quoted for a single trip>
