Does ADAC membership cover France?

[Pet Troll]

I am going on a 1 week (ish) trip down to the south of France at the end of June and as I am going in a 20 year old french car I thought it would be an idea to look into getting some sort of breakdown cover.

Having looked on the ADAC website it seems that you can only become a member if you live in Germany (which I don't) but I am sure I have seen posts on here from UK people who have got ADAC cover.

If I can't get ADAC cover are there any decent companies that cover a UK car in France. I would quite like a year policy as I will no doubt be back later in the year.

Thanks

Yes it does, and you don't need to reside in Germany to be a member - though I had to call them to join.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will have another look on their website and will give them a ring if I can't do it online.

Thanks

I'm covered with the AA... They do Europe cover ETA, whether they will cover your vehicle due to its age is another matter :S

I do a big Euro trip each year in my Capri, I tacked full uk and euro breakdown and recovery onto my classic insurance through Sureterm Direct for only £34 and I guess if you ring sureterm you can get the cover as a stand alone policy.
Both last year and this year I used the cover and the service was excellent and has more than paid for itself.
