For those with older vehicles, check out the small print, the AA advertises that they will cover any age vehicle, but should the vehicle need repatriating back to the UK, then that will only be done if the repatriation cost is less than the market value value of the vehicle that needs repatriating.
So in effect most cars over say 12 years old, in a broken down state, will be worth less than the repatriation cost, even though the cover would have cost around £200 compared to say £80 for a 5 year old car.
To get an idea of the market value of your car, use we buy any car or car wow and enter non runner, if the value says £2,500 or under then your car will not be repatriated even if covered.
The thought of having paid for European break down cover which includes repatriation, only to find out that in the event of a serious mechanical, your car could be left stranded in Europe, if you do not have the time or funds to get it back on the road, when repatriation would be the obvious solution, does not bear thinking about.
To be fair I can see were the insurers are coming from, as it is a risk based business model, and the general rule is older cars are more likely to fail than newer ones, which are probably covered by the manufacturers warranty in any case.
