Adac conditions cleared up

[flatpackchicken]

I feel I am missing something here, as I understood approximately 2years or so ago, ADAC informed myself and a lot of other existing members that it would no longer offer renewal to members unless they had an address in Germany, I believe this was confirmed by a number of funsters including myself who received notification from Adac that they would only offer new cover or renewal of Adac plus membership to members with a German address, however your post suggests that the above is not the case which Surprises me as when my renewal was due they informed me of the above, needless to say I didn’t renew.

These terms and conditions was years ago and not for recent terms and conditions, as all members without a German address are now only covered whilst in Germany only

I wish I had read the date before I started to read the essay......

These terms and conditions was years ago and not for recent terms and conditions, as all members without a German address are now only covered whilst in Germany only

Not quite, I changed my address to Portugal when I first got wind of the changes and my membership and breakdown cover continues.

I have used them twice since the change once for a blowout in France and a home based non starter which required recovery to local garage in Portugal.

I think some of the health benefits and repatriation clauses no longer apply but i am not sure which and have never really had the inclination to find out.

I believe that there are members in Spain with the same experience.

Yes as matamoros stated they were just being polite & letting the UK members down lightly stating that as we also have the full benefits still living here & registered in spain.

Valid from 1 January 2008
ADAC concluded a group insurance contract with ADAC-Schutzbrief Versicherungs-
AG, Munich, for ADACPlus members which is subject to the terms and conditions
of group insurance of the ADAC-Schutzbrief Versicherungs-AG governing
the ADACPlus membership. The cover extends to Europe-wide, vehicle-related
benefits like assistance following breakdown, accident, vehicle theft and worldwide
person-related benefits for ADACPlus members and their families in the
event of illness, injury and death and other emergencies.
Cover applies to incidents occurring within the European area of coverage and,
where the benefits defined in §§ 12–21 are provided world-wide, also those
occurring anywhere in the world. The European area of coverage extends to
geographic Europe including Germany, the non-European countries bordering the
Mediterranean Sea, the Canary Islands, the Azores and Madeira.
Benefits defined in § 22 and § 30 will be provided from the borders of the European
area of coverage. This will also apply in cases where the incident has
occurred outside the European area of coverage.
The ADACPlus membership protects you as a member, your spouse/partner and
your minor children regardless of whether you travel together or separately. The
benefits provided in the event of illness, injury, death and other emergencies
(§§ 12–21) apply to you and your family regardless of the mode of transport
chosen, e.g. also to air and rail travel. Cover shall extend to all vehicles registered
in the name of one of you. Third party vehicles are also covered, if driven by you or
your spouse/partner. The commencement and the end of insurance cover are
based on the terms and conditions of ADACPlus membership.
The benefits relating to illness, injury, death and other emergencies (§§ 12–22)
apply when you are on a journey. A journey means that you are more than 50 km
(distance covered) from your place of residence. In the European area of coverage
you are covered (according to § 4) if, by the time the incident occurred, the journey
since leaving your place of residence did not exceed 92 days. Outside the
European area of coverage you are covered, if the journey did not exceed 45 days
between leaving the place of residence and the occurrence of the incident.
Based on the design and the facilities for the transport of persons, the vehicle may
not have more than 9 seats (including the driver's seat) and must not exceed a
total width of 2.55m, a total length of 10 m, a height of 3.00m, a maximum gross
weight of 3.5 t. The same applies to the attached trailer. All dimensions indicated
refer to the vehicle including load. The trailer shall not have more than one axle.
Axles with a distance of less than 1.00m from one another are considered one
axle. Cover shall also apply to mobile homes with a maximum height of 3.2m
including load and a maximum gross weight of 7.5 t. For mobile homes exceeding
the above maximum dimensions the following benefits shall be excluded: Off-road
recovery (§ 26), vehicle recovery (§ 30), pick-up service (§ 31) and if the car is a
total loss, transport from the place of the incident to the storage site (§ 33 No. 2).
In the case of an incident our ADAC assistance centres abroad or our 24-hour
assistance centre in Munich will assist you. You will find the telephone numbers of
the ADAC assistance centres on the cover of the ADACPlus service booklet. For
each benefit, call the emergency numbers specified, so we will be able to help
you. We will refund documented telephone expenses incurred to request
assistance. Please keep your documents ready when calling. Send us the original
bills and receipts together with a claims report.
If a third party is liable to provide benefits following a claim, such third party
commitment will have priority. If you report this claim to ADAC-Schutzbrief Versicherungs-
AG, it will undertake advance performance according to its terms and
conditions of insurance.

I am somewhat puzzled by this post especially section 4 which states that Anyone can Acquire Adac plus membership, I myself was a member for about 5/6 years and despite numerous unanswered emails that I sent to Adac and telephone conversations that I had with their various operators they continued to send and correspondence in the German language, which I don't understand so when I received a letter as other Funsters on here also said they'd received but didn't understand about 2 years ago I showed it to a neighbour who is German but now as British as myself and he explained that it read ",They Adac could no longer continue my full membership of Adac plus due to my not being resident in Germany, and would only provide roadside breakdown cover in UK/Europe but NOT Repatriation from Europe to UK in the event of unrepairable breakdown, after numerous calls to Adac to clarify this I eventually decided to reluctantly discontinue my membership.

You seem to have made the same mistake twice, see your previous post #27. Since that previous post several posters have pointed out that the original post you have replied to twice was an old one from 2013. The ADAC rules have changed since then.

Thanks for pointing that out I only just noticed the date, seems others also made the same mistake, I’m puzzled as to why these very old posts keep cropping up time after time.

Well in this case you only have yourself to blame for this old post cropping up again. It was your previous post that resurrected this thread . See the difference in dates between posts numbers 26 and 27. My guess is that you found it when searching for something else and answered it without checking the dates. Been there and got that T shirt myself, so now always try to remember to check the date first .
