[ianthebuilder]

Just had a quote for the motorhome i am possibly purchasing next week,,, i have only phoned safeguard so far but i am very happy with what i have been quoted.... £478.64 Fully comp...£4oo excess, £100 excess for unlimited windscreen cover,,AA recovery,homestart,recovery to uk etc,,all over europe.. 365 days cover for europe..to include £100,000 legal and medical costs,loss of work etc (providing its a non fault accident ) Now even though it was a hypethetical quote (dont know if i am buying it yet) I didnt think that was bad.........

We have used Safeguard for last three years never had any problems and when we had a sudden deflation on the motorway breakdown there within twenty mins and the European cover is good.

Sounds very similar to the one I got the other day. Phone them back and quote you went to the NEC this year and they may take the 25% discount offered there. The did for me without the discount code. Check your vehicle details as the AA can't recover over 7.3 ft wide or over 3500Kg

I have had Safeguard for 6 years now and been completely satisfied. One smallish claim following an altercation between my awning and a protruding tree was dealt with without any problems.

I don't know that's quite correct as we have had three vans all over 3500kg and have been told by Safeguard that they can be recovered.
Just check before you buy

We've been with Safeguard for a few years now and they're excellent maybe not the cheapest but very good service.

Yes they do recover over 3500kgs we had a 7tonne RV recovered by them and a friend had a 12 tonne RV recovered by them.

If you go through safeguard i was told you will be covered,,dont ring the AA directly,,safeguard have an arrangement with all who are covered with them !!

I am sure I read this as well on the conditions of cover policy they sent me, but duly noted. They should make this obvious straight off as this was the only reason I didn't go with them. Their loss I suppose, but will bear in mind on renewal. I used their quote to knock Caravan Guard down - Winner!!

None of the above can make any sense to us. We dont know your age ,how many points or not on your licence. Postcode. Driving history IE claims ect ect....

I paid just under 200 quid for a 40K vehicle . No points (fingers crossed) no claims. Low risk postcode. In fact as clean as it can get.

This doesn't mean I drive slowly , It doesn't mean I drive well, It just means I'm lucky ...........................................................
