European Breakdown Cover
« on: 06 April 2012, 18:53 »
Can anybody suggest good european breakdown cover?

In August im going to be driving to Italy, through France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Switzerland.

I have been browsing about on google but unsure who to go with. I would obviously like the option of having the car recovered back home if it breaks down.

I will be doing the journey in an Civic Type R EP3 which has never let me down, however i have never put 2500miles on it over 10days!

Thanks

Mike

Indeed. I have had my type r for the past 30,000 miles / 2.5years and it has nevered needed more than service parts and tyres. However sods law and all that! Plus the possibility of crashing etc.

can you not add breakdown cover to your insurance a day before you leave then cancel before the 14days you get to cancel

ADAC joining instructions are here:

And under £100 a year gives you pan-European recovery with no BS clauses about mileage and age of car, unlike the UK providers.

Oh and if you call them when you're broken down in the UK and the AA turn out for you.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
