Different from what I was told by "that nice man"at ADAC when renewing mine Roy.Something to do with having the right permission to enter the property apparently.A friend recently discovered this to be correct, truck brought the car to Breidscheid, wrong! Oi, we want it at Weisamscheid,"ah, ok, kein probleme, zhen minuten."

Just to follow on from this comment, here is an article on the Nordschleife which says that ADAC will recover members from the track without any additional payment www.nurburgring.org.uk/adac.php

When I looked into the ADAC thing, their website said only cars/people registered in Germany were permissable?

Am I missing something?

Quote: Using the links below to acquire ADAC membership requires that your place of residence is in Germany.

Unless its been changed from around 18 months ago, had no problem joining from the UK.

This just means you can't sign up online. You have to join by phone. Ring the membership number, politely ask if the person speaks English and either they will (very well) or they'll transfer you to someone who does.

It seems to be by far the best breakdown service to have for trips to Europe (it's not car specific) and it also covers the UK.

Certainly is very good.I ave the Gold membership, covers me and my wife for medical and repatriation expenses. Wifes cover is for EU only but mine is world wide.

Good to know, thanks for the replies!

Just for a laugh, I enquired with the AA (used to be a member). They wanted £230 ON TOP of a years membership!!! Sod that!

I'll be ringing ADAC when I'm back in the UK - it's too sticky here in Ghana and the internet is intermittent most of the day...
