European Breakdown Cover for cars 15 years old

[Arnold Cunningham]

I have no current plans to replace the family car, which we'll be driving to the alps and back next winter - and it's always good to have some breakdown cover, but many companies don't cover europe over 15 years old.

I think the AA will cover us - but having been rather let down by them a few years back, I would prefer to avoid them.
Are the any PH recommended breakdown companies that'll cover us for a europe trip?

Thank you.

Rescuemycar.co.uk will cover you if the car is younger than 16 years old at the time of purchase, and while I've not used their euro cover they have been superb for me in the UK.

RAC covered my 25yo TVR a couple years ago (which subsequently needed their assistance to bring it home!)

What an unforeseeable turn of events

Some bank accounts come with breakdown cover that covers older cars, in Europe.

One of the Nationwide current accounts for one.

I'd be wary of those "free with bank account" offerings. Some only cover roadside assistance and local recovery to the nearest garage rather than full recovery to home.

Thanks all, this gives me some decent choices.

Admiral covers my 2007 Viano for European breakdown as an addition on my multicar policy.
