Breakdown cover

[cumbrianchris]

Without wanting to temp fait i have decided that this year im going to have to take out some sort of european break down cover. As yet i dont have a ferry booked and thinking of just jumping on the euro tunnel. Having got nearly to the end of there online order form i noticed they provide cover so i hit it just to see what effect it would have on the price. It was only £35 im thinking that is not a great deal of money. But my question is do i get not a great deal in return?

Who would be the best to use?

And just a quick foot note. I dont have uk breakdown as my father has several car dealerships and should i have a problem over here drivers to sort me out with recovery. Just im sure he wont extend the same service to mid france.

Regards chris

I always take out European RAC cover for the 5/6 days which costs in the region of £40-50 - but this is for a car built in 1978. For more modern cars I guess the premium is a tad cheaper.

Does the cover you've seen just cover for the journey, or does it include cover throughout the trip? For £35 though, if it includes everything (recovery, transport, replacement car) then sounds ok.

Hmm, I thought it jumps up if your car is over 10 years old... like mine

Have a look on Ben Lovejoys site for the Nurburgring, iirc, there is a really good european company he recommends which is much cheaper than a UK company!

May have to check that out later for myself as well

Presumably there is a summary of cover on their website? Does it give you what you need? Will it get you home if you break down?
