Any German speakers here (ADAC policy T&C) (1 Viewer)

[hymerhobo]

I've just had quote from ADAC (the German equivalent of our AA) for European cover for about 80 EUR. However, before I proceed, I thought to check the terms and conditions first. I translated their email with the Google gizmo, and have appended both versions below. No machine can ever translate a language perfectly, and there is still doubt in my mind about one or two points. If there _is_ a German speaker here, would you please reply to this with a better translation. TIA ...

Hi,

We are with ADAC and while I would recommend them to anyone, I must add that the only reason I have breakdown insurance is for piece of mind, I really do hope i don't need to use it, so I would seriously recommend to anyone if you have even the slightest doubt with a company whether that be ADAC or the RAC/AA etc then its probably better to look elsewhere rather than just trying to save a few quid, as how much would you put on piece of mind, there's nothing worse than driving thousands of miles in Europe wondering if anything goes wrong will they be able to understand me and will I have sufficient cover,

We think ADAC are perfect for our needs and I do drive around with confidence that I will be able to make myself understood and that the amount of the conditions i can actually understand do meet or exceed my requirements, but I know a lot of people who I have talked to think I'm mad, going with a company that primary language is not my own.

What ever you chose I'm sure it will be the correct choice for you.

When serving in Germany all service personel seemed to go with ADAC. My fan belt went on the way the ferry in Holland ( it had only become slack so was easy to rectify).I used a motorway box just said I only spoke english and they sent someone who had a good grasp of the language. ( apart from spelling my name on the form!) That was as a lone female in the 80's would I feel as safe now on the hard shoulder of motworway, I wonder.

My German is not as good as it once was - we lived there for 11 years but that was 10 years ago. Basically the translation is not bad - there are a couple of words where Google obviously gave up!!...

1. The annual fee for the ADACPlusMitgliedschaft SHALL 79.50 EUR. Of course, we also
Beitragsermaessigungen to.

The German means "Obviously we also offer discount rates" (for family or group memberships for example)

2. Please note that we only Verlaengerungsvertraege
. Offer

This is the one that concerns me. Verlaengerungsvertraege means to me "Contract renewal" This sentence to me therefore implies that they only will offer you a contract renewal and not necessarily a brand new contract. I would clarify this with one of their English speaking staff, and make sure you make a note of their name and when they told you this information.

Hope this helps...

Chris
