OK we are a little confused.com and would appreciate some advice!

Our AA Cover renewal is due and as usual way overpriced so we are looking into alternatives especially now we have the caravan and we are planning a 2 week caravanning trip to France in the summer.

We already have the camping and caravanning club basic insurance for the caravan.

So what we are looking for (I think!) is something that gives us breakdown cover in this country and also for our 2 week trip abroad for our car (and caravan if towing) plus possibly personal insurance abroad to cover medical emergencies too.  Although we have a Sainsburys credit card that includes holiday insurance so that could cover that part but could be easily cancelled if a combined deal is better.

So far we have the following quotes:-

Caravan Club Motoring Mayday - Basic UK recovery only £62

Caravan Club Red Pennant Single Trip Europe Motoring Only £100

Caravan Club Red Pennant Single Trip Europe Motoring and Personal Trip Only £132

Camping and Caravanning Club Europe Single Trip Only £72

Alan Rodgers Single Trip Personal and Motoring £103

Alan Rodgers Single Trip Motoring Only £61.34

We are more than a little confused with all these quotes and wondering what type of insurance everyone else has and if there is a company that does cover for everything we are needing without charging a fortune!

Many Thanks,

Jenny

Give this company a ring and discuss what your required needs are. I am renewing my caravan insurance next month with them as there was a thread on here asking about recommendations for caravan insurance and a lot confirmed that they were good even in the event of making a claim. Click on the link and under caravan insurance it tells you what they will cover plus there are many discounts too.

For a start NEVER accept the AA renewal price. Check out what the RAC and Green flag are charging for new members so you have a comparison,  then phone the AA up and say your cancelling your membership, they'll soon bring the price down to keep you. I do it every year and get it renewed at the same cost as a new member. Been with them 11 years now.

Dont the AA do a cover for europeon travel? Not sure as I have never driven abroad but worth checking.
