Other options to AA Euro cover?
Discussion
Just phoned AA to get Euro cover for Spain and it costs £67, which is fair enough and somewhere near what i paid a couple of years ago.... then they go and stick an [b]extra 67%[/b] premium on top because the car is over 11 years old!!!!
Makes a total of £106.50. And no, they won't haggle.
Anyone know any other GOOD European breakdown services.
Thanks in advance.

11 year old Ferrari Mike. I tried this argument with them but they, reasonably I suppose, said that they couldn't just take people's word that an 11 year old car was serviced to the hilt and in A1 condition
I used RAC this year for Le Mans. About £35 for 6 days on a 1992 TVR S series (13 years old then :-)).
Definitely got a reduction by saying I was a member of the car club....something about waiving the 'old car surcharge'.!

Old news now that Al has got sorted. But what about checking the level of cover that you get with your car insurance policy? BG is insured with Lancaster, I had a big problem last year in the Alsace and my standard level of cover that was included in my policy gave me a hire car for a fortnight, all costs incurred, and covered moving BG twice by truck until he ended up in Luxembourg to be fixed. Even paid my train fare, taxi and cost of refreshments when I finally picked the car up after dropping off the hire car. And the most professional bunch of call centre staff with good english too. Not bad for £375 a year fully comp. The silliest thing is, I didnt even know I had got this cover either, they told me when I rang them to check on my ins cover whilst abroad.
