Getting ADAC cover (1 Viewer)

[gordoncbrown]

I tried calling ADAC today using a number I found on here but no joy. Number was not recognised. I also tried an email address that was on here. Again, no joy. It bounced back. Does anyone have the current number or an email address to reach them on from the UK.

Thanks

you'll need the international code for Germany (+49) in place of the first 0 and ask for an English speaking operater

Barbara speaks good English

Barbara is at the Rensburg office and she deals with english members and those that want to take out membership.. you can pay using Caxton FX or a credit card... I renewed with her the other day... the number quoted is correct and is sometime answered in German.. you only have to say can I speak to an English speaking person.. you get transferred to Barbara.

Stick at it.. it works.

Many thanks. Just off the phone to Barbara. Extremely helpful, and she has banished a stereotypical misconception for me. The Germans DO have a sense of humour. :thumb::thumb:
Barbara also speaks better English than I do. If only when you called up companies in this country they were so helpfull. If anyone from ADAC reads this or anyone here knows Barbara please let her know she is a star and ADAC should be proud to have her working for them.
Thanks to all Funsters that reccomended ADAC as well.:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

A couple of weeks ago while deciding on joining ADAC I sent an e mail to them with a few questions concerning their partner plus membership

I didnt get a return e mail from them , instead , next morning I received a phone call from Barbra Lorenz asking how she could help .... Outcome = All my questions answered and a membership application completed in about 10 minutes via this phone call. ..... A further call from her about an hour later , confirming membership No and cover commencing from midnight that day. Confirmation paperwork received within a week.

Hope I never have to use ADAC of course , but if the initial contact is indicative of their general approach , then I am quite content to have handed over the somewhere around € 98 for membership.

If you hold a Blue badge it is cheaper

If you hold a blue badge it comes down to €68.40 .. renewed this year by credit card (Caxton FX card to save the conversion charges).. but have spoken to Barbara on the phone a few times.. she speaks good english... we all ope we do not need it.. I have good cover on Safeguard.. but this is the bolt on that covers all the other things that I could need assistance with.

oh:oh:

What is ADAC cover for???

 

[slobadoberbob]

a lot of things

ADAC is the German equivalent to the UK AA.. only it has 17 million members and is the largest in Europe .. has a fleet of helicopters and it's own air ambulance, recover transporters the lot.

You get a breakdown service anywhere that boarders the Med or mainland europe and yes also the UK.. you can call the UK 0800 number and the AA turn out.. yes even for a motorhome.. you can get an extension for the USA as well.

You get tow out of mud, recovery to garage.. a line of credit if needed, they will bring the motorhome back to the UK or anywhere you want it taken.. was used a lot to recover from the european race tracks... they will ship the dog back to the UK on it's own, or the kids... lots your keys they will sort it.. lost the glasses? yes they cover that.. the list is long.. if you need emergency medical help they can sort it.. plus a translation service. Dozens of other things as well.:Blush:

Just got my ADAC card etc through this weekend. All the paperwork is in German, as expected . Is there anything I have to do or be aware of? I am going to make a couple of rads up with all the info we need, numbers etc. any tips/advice welcome.

ADAC breakdown and personal insurance.

The question was raised about overseas cover with the ADAC, today Barbara Lorenz called me back with the full answer.
For the person , personal claims are limited to 90 days when abroad but the recovery / breakdown for the vehical is 365 days
I hope that make things clearer for everyone. Also if you are a blue badge holder you can get a large discount but you must ask for it at time of taking it out or renewal.

My joint memberships came down to €68

My join membership came down to €68 as I have a blue badge.

Every little helps as they say..

Bob p.s I did get a translation of the German to UK from someone on this site, he pm'd me a file which I printed out.. large and lots of paper, but it had everything you needed in it.. may be worth hunting back to other posts on it.. must be a year ago I would have thought.
