I'm with RAC, covers me in any car. Was about £80 but get 5% off everything on play.com so got a bit of that back!

ADAC - 70Euros for full European cover (plus loads of other benefits).

Call them in the UK and the AA turn out.

Let me know if you want joining details etc.

I looked at the ADAC, beyond the initial joining page, all documents are in german.  If you don't mind me asking, are you a German living in the UK?

The reason i asked, is with the ADAC plus cover, you get repatriated to a german Hosp.............

But it is looking the best at the moment.

Any help would be great too.

I was with Green Flag until they completely let me down. Switched to the RAC and have been mega impressed.

Never had a problem with AA, and been recovered long distances without hassle before, including an oxford-cornwall trip and an RTA.

No, I'm not German.  The people on the end of the right phone line who process your membership are English-speaking, there is a UK 0800 number, which is English-speaking and many people in Germany speak English as a second language (if you shout loud enough etc).  The documentation we got through had an English-language summary with it, too.

The reason I'm with them is that they collect from the Nurburgring - useful if you lose your way and suddenly find your car won't go, after you find there's some armco blocking your way.....
