Can you lot help me, we are going to France for first time with car full of camping gear. Our Green Flag cover want and extra £70 for Euopean Breakdown for year we are only off for 2 weeks. I have had a quote off Insure and Go for a single trip for £25, but looking into policy, if we breakdown on way home and they cant fix the car they will take passengers home with hand luggage and the car will come home when fixed, probably a week later. Problem with that by the time it gets home someone will have helped themselves to the contents of our camping equipment. I would rather they put us up till the car is fixed. No way am I leaving my car with anyone when its full of our gear.

Can any one advise or offer a different company.

At least you are not towing a caravan so you don't have to consider that. The trouble with any insurance the cheaper it is there is usually a reason for that cheapness. I would look at a few more options and compare what you want it to cover and decide on that basis rather than price. Perhaps what you should be looking for is a policy that providesa replacement car for the completion of the journey.

You get what you pay for I am afraid and its only a problem if you break down. You could try the clubs or europ assist is I think very good but I suspect you will come across the same problem.

Same applies in UK for breakdown - you get what you pay for - I have the basic green flag offering at £20 which is cheap but all they are going to do is attempt a roadside repair or tow me to a garage. Then I think I am on my own. Not a problem if I don't break down!

Does any breakdown cover include trailer in the recovery?

The cover provided by Insure and Go is Europ Assist so the same policy restrictions will apply.

The two policies are the same Ben. I have used Insure and Go for several years and compared the policies before buying and both policies are the same with identical levels of cover. Insure and Go also offer the same levels of cover as my car insurance company Aviva but they want more than double in price.

i think £70 sounds reasonable, most quotes i have had , including the clubs, is over £100, eventually got it from eurotunnel for £68.
