who offers the best deal on UK & European Breakdown cover

 

[Lenny HB]

Depends exactly what your requirements are, we use our insurers £64 a year, Comfort Insurance you have to have the van insured with them.

Having breakdown cover is one thing but will the provider attend without too much of a delay and will they then be able to deal with the problem? Our van does not have a spare wheel so I'm rather concerned what will happen if or when we have a puncture.

Our Hymer Car is based on a FIAT Ducato and for the first three years it is covered by europe-wide FIAT Camper Assistance which in the UK is fulfilled by RAC. Our van insurance is with Think insurance including breakdown cover which is fulfilled by The AA. My motor vehicle policy is with with Direct Line and that includes family breakdown cover from Green Flag and that transfers to the motor home also.

The cost of breakdown cover is not so much compared to the potential expenses and inconvenience and I'm happy to pay extra to have the additional reassurance.

Thanks all, very useful will need to investigate further as we have the insurance already

Check that your breakdown cover will include being dragged out of a muddy field or verge at no extra cost. Most don’t if they need a bigger vehicle to rescue you they charge extra.

And some require you to have a spare wheel (Actually. All the ones I’ve seen lately have)

You can do compare the market for breakdown cover. There‘s lots of ‘levels‘ of cover, which I don’t fully understand. My bank do it for £12.50 a month with travel insurance (stop/start anytime but the travel only covers prebooked accommodation). I think green flag was the cheapest I’d heard of for an annual policy, but I will check with the aa, because they’re usually up for a bit of haggling.
