I have read through the thread about motorhome and caravan recovery but was wondering what your views on car recovery were?

We are driving over to France with a tent for the first time and are looking for european recovery insurance for 7 days cover, cost is an issue but we still want decent cover are there any to avoid?

Greenflag is the front runner at the moment but I dont know of anyone who has used them abroad.

Insure and go do single trip breakdown insurance. They use Europ Assist which is probably the same company that Green Flag, RAC etc use in Europe. The cover is excellent, with English speaking operators and the prices are great. You buy online and print your own documents. Europ Assist has been around for at least 30 years as I used them back in the early 80's and I have used Insure and Go for the past 8 years so they are not a fly by night internet company. Only thing I have never done is break down in France so I cant give you a first hand account of their services.

Thanks Carol I will look them up

We have always used Morethan - which covers in UK and abroad (plus free caravan cover) usually costs us about £56.

Our friend also used Morethan and has had to call them out twice now for her car - once in this country the lights would not work once caravan hitched - they towed her home no problems and the second time was in france when car broke down on campsite - again no problems very efficiant kept in good contact to advise what was going on. 

We now use different company only because our caravan is over 7mts
