Breakdown cover

[Appollo51]

Hi all I'm looking for a few ideas for breakdown cover for UK and in the EU. THE VANS 14YRS YOUNG .I'm with LV at present. Thanks

Saga looks after mine , been with them for years , currently paying £258.
Breakdown optional but fairly competitive I think .
After the first year they let me pay quarterly without extra charge.

I've just had a quote from Saga .with breakdown cover £599 .I've never had a decent quote from them for anything .that's with 7yrs no claims and clean licence. Thanks anyway .the reason I tried them was that some had a good price from them ☠

I’m like yourself all you get is bombarded with letters from them and never a decent quote.

When I had the quote I think the breakdown cover part was £120 .I'm paying £180 to cover van and car with LV .

I took out breakdown cover with Green Flag last summer.
We had a major breakdown - clutch failure or der couplung ist kaput as they say- in Germany. We found Green flags response excellent. Phones quickly answered in English and issued dealt with efficiently. We were put upon a good hotel whilst the van was off the road, they made a difficult time a little easier.
I’ll be quite happy to use them again.

Did look at them but didn't beat my current price

Hi my van is 17 years old and I have just purchased an annual recovery including European cover for £250 through quidco. The cover is with the RAC and you get a years membership with the camping and caravan club included. The European part gives you up to 350 days cover. It was the best and cheapest I could find for the age of my vehicle

I continue to advocate the Nationwide FlexPlus account which costs £13 per month but includes breakdown and recovery for a MH upto 7.5T, 8m in UK and Europe.
Also other benefits such as worldwide travel insurance, mobile phone insurance, etc.

Keep £2500 in the account and you get £6 pm interest, so the overall cost falls from (12 x £13 = £156) to (12 x £7 = £84)

Transfer a current account from a different bank using their "Refer a Friend" system and both folk get a cash input of £100 ( effectively worth up to 15months free cover!).

All reports which I have seen, plus my own experience, tell me that the service (provided by Britannia Rescue) is very good.

I'm happy to help ANYONE (including myself) get £100 for doing very little!

Is there a length of trip limit for breakdown cover. I have looked online but cannot find anything mentioned. I have banked with Nationwide for years, but always used ADAC for breakdown. I cant see them keeping UK customers if we have a hard Brexit.

 

[h1ghway1]

I'm also with ADAC and feel I will have to switch to a UK based service..

 

[Appollo51]

They don't seem to indicate a max time of travel .I'm already with LVwho are part of this underwriting group paying £180 so I will benefit from changing plus the travel ins a bonus as well

 

[Casper46]

I have had a 'chat' online with Nationwide and they told me that the breakdown cover is 180 days per year.

 

[Appollo51]

Thanks for that 180 would be plenty for me .If your full timing then another story .I did think that when I did it with LV there wasn't a time limit but not important for myself maybe worth looking into for others .

Well how does that work ?
Do you have to keep a log of all the time you use the van ?

 

[Appollo51]

Who knows maybe when your in the EU.UK COVER IS FOR THE YEAR .The 180 is EUonly .

 

[Casper46]

Sorry I did not make clear. 180 days is for European Breakdown.
After I spoke to Nationwide I trawled through their terms and conditions again and found the limit terms on the website. It was worded slightly differently. I have just tried to find it again and can’t.
It’s in there somewhere.
I asked if 4 journeys of 6 weeks would be covered and he said that’s fine.

 

[Appollo51]

Yes is what I would of thought it meant .365 at home .you've been busy
