We'll be embarking on our trip down to the south of France soon, and need to sort out some European breakdown cover.

Can anyone recommend any breakdown cover, that covers both car and caravan?  So, for example, perish the thought that if caravan gets a blow-out (or any other probs), they'll sort it?

Cheers folks!

Check out the RAC mine is covered for car and caravan back to my UK address.

I suggest you look at this.

 travel insurance???

That is where this topic should be!

Hi

Don't forget Caravan Club Red Pennant for car, caravan and sickness.

It's the best you can buy

Hi

I have just done ours with the AA for £103 for annual breakdown cover (£98 single trip) to cover our Jeep and Caravan and family of 3.

I tried Churchill, and would have tried the Caravan Club if I could have got through, they were permanently busy and I gave up after 2 days.

We use Saga (Green Flag ) had a blow out on our last holiday in Germany transporter came in 20 minutes.

Having had some experience in the industry i know quite a bit that goes on.....

All i can say is expect delays either way - if your vehicle/caravan breaks down its inevitable no matter what these companies do to help that you will be delayed.

Also you have to expect to spend money on phone calls, these companies provide a free number but you have to be prepared to call from a landline and give up on your mobile.

Rental cars with towbars do not exist in the UK or abroad for insurance reasons so bear this in mind that whoever you take cover that you may not be able to get this kind of replacement car.

And always read the terms and conditions of your cover, quite often you will find yourselves being caught out because you didnt read the info before leaving on hols.... Hope this helps.

The RAC want £170

I got a quote from the RAC for £100

thought it was very good considering the level of cover.

all I will say is compare the policy and decide on the level of cover againt the cost, think about what you really want out of the cover before you hand your money over.

I have recently looked into this as were going to France for the first time and have had a bad experience in cornwall before so this is important to me.

RAC provided the best level of cover for the best price....

I would advise you to check them out, of course it does depend on the age of your car as well as to how much they will cover you for etc.....

good luck!
