ADAC

Help with how to contact ADAC, do they have a UK website?

 

[PHD]

http://www.adac.de/mitgliedschaft/adac_membership/

it might be better to phone as sometimes a UK address doesn't work. You can normally get someone who speaks English. (phonetic: Harben zee ein enlisher sprecker?)

 

[PHD]

"Using the links below to acquire ADAC membership requires that your place of residence is in Germany"

Nope! I joined three weeks ago, I phoned and payed by debit card gave my English address and paperwork and membership cards arrived the next week, simples!

 

[jockaneezer]

You can join using an English address if you take out the 'Plus' membership.

Ring Barbara Lorenz at ADAC. Her phone No:- 004994155673. She speaks very good English, as do many of them.. Good luck. Mitch..

PS.. DO take the "Plus" it is worth it !! ( IMHO )

Barbara is great to deal with! When I called her, I used Skype credits (bought to call landlines) and my 20 minute call cost peanuts! I also use Skype for my annual renewal using a debit card. Downsides? Brush up your German, because EVERYTHING you get is in German. I'd love to know what is in the monthly magazine I get - good pictures though!

I'm with ADAC and I'm sure I read somewhere that if you don't want to renew at the end of the year, you must give them three months' written notice. How can that be allowed under EU law, with 14 day cooling-off periods etc? Seems unenforceable to me.

 

[Phill D]

so have they sorted their "dispute " with the AA. as when i tried to join several months ago they said they could not take UK residents

The three month notice thingy is wide-spread in Europe.

 

[sdc77]

To be honest I thought it was a yearly membership anyway that didn't renew without you calling and giving credit card over the phone...
(no intention of giving up this excellent service btw)

 

[MattR]

Same for me.

What is Adac please?

 

[MattR]

What is Adac please?

German based vehicle recovery / rescue scheme with reciprocal arrangements in the UK with the AA. Good value, apparently but we weren't able to join earlier in the year because we don't have a German address and the AA were talking of pulling out of the group.

AaaH thanks. Not ventured overseas yet

It works in the UK if you can get membership with the AA doing the recovery work.

I have been with ADAC for 3 years well worth the money, they did have problems with the AA a while ago dont know if thats changed it was i heard but dont quote me because a lot of AA empolyees were joining the ADAC because it cheaper and a lot better in Europe, I cancelled the posted mag and get it emailed and translate with Google as said before.

You can go to the ADAC website and as a member you can register and then log in to read the magazine online. You then set your computer to translate it..

 

[MotorhomersRus]

We joined while in Düsseldorf and have received our cards but...........we did a delayed start so it dosent start till January but we can't for the life of us remember giving them our card details !!!!
Not sure we had them on us .......think we should contact them as I'm unsure if the cards will work if I don't

VE AVE VAYS OF MAKING YOU COMPLY...... SVINEHUND...........

 

[Wildman]

ADAC is much more than a recover/breakdown service. To start with it is you that is covered in whatever vehicle you happen to be in be it as a driver or passenger, europe 365 days plus some health cover as well. Best value out there the AA could not compete so pulled out/ made it difficult however I have called them out whilst in the UK no problem.
The plus covers husband and wife for under £100 a year worry free motoring. Great cover.

 

[Jaws]

I believe this is the Brit freefone number

0 800 5 10 11 12 ??

 

[gus-lopez]

I rang on this when I signed up last April
0049221472747 spoke to a Julia Schmidt.
Just as an afterthought is it auto renewal or have I to ring to renew?

I am with Comfort insurance and covered for euro breakdowns. We broke down in Germany this year with the dreaded fiat fuel filter leaking. Called the free phone number and they sent out ADAC to assit us. The mechanic removed the fuel filter and found a air line crack in casing. Iwas then taken 15 mile to a dealer were we had to order a new filter assembly. ADAC took me back to my vehicle and I was given the choice of been towed to there yard or stay were we was just out side a site were thay let us use the facilties. I was piked up 2 day later taken to Fiat dealer we collected new filter only to find the dealer had bined the old unit with the mounting bracket attached so mechanic had to fit filter with cable ties and agreed to forward a new bracket to me. This was done great service from these guys.
Would recommend ADAC or better still join Comfort insurance.

I used to be with Comfort.. Then they just became SO expensive as to be ridiculous .. What is weird is that when I said no to them they actually put me through to another company that came back with a price 1/3rd ( ONE THIRD ) of what Comfort offered. So I could get the insurance AND the ADAC cover and still save money !

 

[MandP]

Please pardon my ignorance.I had thought that ADAC was for cars only. Does it apply to motorhomes and, if so, will our 7.5 motorhome be eligible for cover?
Many thanks

 

[Jaws]

As long as you state the vehicle dimensions all is good

 

[Lookaround]

I joined a couple of months ago from Ireland and was able to pay by online bank transfer as for some reason I wasn't able to use a credit or debit card on their website. The membership cards arrived in a few days and I get the magazine in the post also. My German isn't great but the pictures are nice

 

[BILL 875]

Regarding renewal ADAC will send you a invoice 4-5 weeks before the expiry date ring em and pay by card.
Regards
Bill
