Tried to renew my ADAC yesterday morning, spoke to Sabine who said she would ring me back, no phone call but then this just popped into my inbox.

You can not take out membership again , because we can not take out memberships for non-german residences since 01.10.17. There is no possibility to make your membership again.


Sorry for that but you have to search for another company to help you.


Have a nice day


Yours sincerely

That's weird because only yesterday I had a renewal notice through the post. At least I think that's what it is as it's all in German but it does say RECHNUNG at the top which translates to BILL.

We have taken out RAC cover and had already decided to not renew ADAC this year.

@The Dude, problem seems to be that I let it lapse, I knew I wouldn't be using the van for quite a while and, foolishly it now seems, decided not to spend a hundred quid renewing, thought I'd pick it up at the appropriate time, but that seems to have backfired now. :doh::crying::crying:

Always been with RAC arrival due to size.

What are the rules please guys, everything I've seen in the past says trips abroad no longer than 31 days, I've just set up a 3 month trip as I don't want to keep crossing over and belting down to Spain for 2 weeks

I don't think there are any limits but can't specifically find anything in the T&C's

That could possibly be the reason as mine doesn't expire until 01/06. I have just renewed mine using my online banking services - no charge. Time will tell if I get the renewal confirmation.

Renewals seem to be being honoured, she states the New Membership for foreigners has been stopped, but I'm sure I remember in years gone by someone being refused new membership and a fair amount of people then saying " I just took it out".

I may have stumbled across a jobsworth, I'll ring another number later and see if I can get someone without a possible agenda.

From previous threads I seem to recall that if you were already with them and renew before it expires you can continue, but once it expires or you are new to them, you can't.

AFAIK that wouldn't work as each trip would have to start and finish in your 'home' country.

That's a car policy:

The insurer will not pay for claims arising from or associated with:

16)
a) Minibuses, commercial vehicles, motorhomes, horseboxes, or limousines;
b) Vehicles exceeding 3,500 kg (3.5 tonnes) gross vehicle weight;
c) Vehicles more than 5.18 metres (17 feet) long, 1.905 metres (6 feet 3 inches) wide and 2.44 metres (8 feet) high;

ok it was only an example that shows 90 days must be doable

I have ADAC cover for breakdown and travel insurance, am I right in thinking that non German members (ie us), are not covered for medical issues in Germany itself??
If so, I would have to get separate travel insurance for when nwe go over in May for 7 weeks, that's if anyone will cover me for a reasonable price with my pre existing medical issues.

Didn't I see that there are 2 levels of ADAC membership and that it is the basic that they will no longer offer to non-residents? I seem to remember that they still offered the premium service. Could that be the reason some are getting renewals okay (premium) and others are being refused (basic)?

Personally my European cover is through my insurers, Comfort, and is somewhat cheaper than stand-alone policies.
