Insure and Go do european breakdown cover and the cover is good, You will find them on the net. I get mine from my insurance company Norwich Union and thay are a good price but I dont know if you have to be insured with them.

Was shopping in Tesco last night and they do european breakdown for £45.00, not sure what it covered though. Just a thought.

Used RAC last year when our car broke down near La Rochelle. They were brilliant, arranged pick up of car, taxi back to our campsite 20 miles away, taxi next day 20 miles to car hire place in Rochefort so that we had a Megane for 2 days while our car was repaired, rang us to let us know progress on our car,  dropped off hire car 3 days later and taxi was waiting to take us to garage where our car had been repaired. Rang us up to ask if everything was OK, anything else we needed? Didn't have to pay a penny.

Don't know the exact cost of this because I pay for full RAC cover, home and abroad for my car, wife's car and son and daughter's cars - OK I know it's extravagant but I like peace of mind (especially where daughter is concerned!). My total bill each year is just under £300 for the 4 cars - thats about £75 a year for each car or less than £1.50 a week each. Worth paying in my mind.

The only other time I have used RAC in recent years is when daughter broke down on M1 late one very busy Friday night - she rang them, then rang me and I set off because she was only 20 minutes away. RAC man was there when I arrived, had solved the problem and off she went!

i've just renewed my single trip cover with Vehicle rescue.com , i used them last year but fortunately didn't have to call on them.

I have just checked RAC.IE and found it would cost me €98 for the car and €18 for caravan / trailer, I make that €116 , thats less that £100 in Sterling
