Does anyone know if there is an alternative to Red Pennant overseas insurance that will repatriate your dog if anything goes wrong? We have spoken to some insurance companies and they say it would be up to the driver of the breakdown vehicle on whether he would take the dog which would leave us all stranded if he decided not to take him.

The local breakdown company that took us off the motorway refused to take our dog in his cab, so the dog had to stay in the back of the motor all the way to the garage.
Not a pleasant trip for the dog being so high up.

Leave your broken down car with a recovery company while you come home by train across France with your dog .Make your way to Dieppe for the Newhaven ferry as that company will accept you as a foot passenger with a dog but others won’t. Reclaim train fares later from travel insurance company.

PS. I thought Red Pennant were supposed to provide a hire car to get you all home?

There are certainly alternative European breakdown insurances covering both car and caravan. Eurotunnel can sell you one if you are travelling with them. Eurobreakdown is another. If a local repair is not possible they will all get a brokendown car and caravan home on a truck. - some quicker than others. But you don’t have to ride all the way back home in that truck. Even with a dog you can travel home separately - on a train or in a hire car.

Think we will stick with Red Pennant.
