Breakdown insurance.

[BillyKontiki]

Having difficulty getting continental breakdown insurance for Moho over 7 meters I’ve tried
AA, RAC, Green Flag, all have 7 meter limits.
Any help appreciated.

Set up an account with Nationwide approximately £13 per month and it’s one of the many free insurances included it also covers MH’s over 3.5T.

 

[Jev88]

RAC and AA have cover via schemes...

 

[Bleau’s]

Rac do with arrival through camping and caravan club and it worked well for us

 

[PaulandAngie]

Try Mayday with the caravan club. This subject gets covered regularly and as you have found, lots of people possibly have the cover unaware that the T&C, s exempt their vehicles either by length or weight or both.

Red pennant with caravan and motorhome club, not the cheapest but includes medical insurance.

Try GEM europlus. I use them for all our cars and caravan. Caravan can be up to 8m excluding the A frame and hitch. There are age restrictions (not you!).

We have RAC cover and it was an 8m limit.

 

[Ianbenny]

Mayday only for UK. Red Pennant for European cover. CMC making more commission

Greenflag do euro cover.

Always check the width restriction as well. LV/Brittania only cover 2.3m according to the t&c'c

Driver guardian cover up to 12m and 7.5t for upto 120 days in EU. We had cover with them a couple of years ago although we didn't need to call them out. We then opened a Nationwide Flex plus account to get their cover plus the extras instead.

Have you considered not bothering with cover?

All any of them do is get on the Internet and find a local to your location breakdown Garage and get them to recover you and then act as a go between, you can do that and stay in control.
Been there and done it after being let down by Safeguard.Now take care of myself in need to.

 

[BillyKontiki]

Thank everyone for your tips and advice as we expect from this forum,
I think RAC look favourite. Will post whatever we do.

I take your point ,thanks but it’s the possible repatriation safeguard I’m thinking about.

 

[oldiesontour]

I've been looking repatriation being the main reason but reading the small print looks as if they are seldom likely to push that button more likely to get passengers and driver home then pay contribution to get driver back to van..got fed up reading all the t&c,may try again when patience is more plentiful

 

[denisejoe]

I think a lot of companies use camper assist in Europe

I realise the cost implication if a person doesn’t have the money to cover this eventuality, however, it’s a reare occurance for a well maintained vehicle. I would point out that all they do again is source a facility that can repatriate you and the MH.

I've just this week used the Nationwide bank breakdown service in France. The service was amazing from the call handler through to the mechanic who was with us in 25 minutes and sorted within an hour. The mechanic kept an open line with an English speaker so there was clear information. The following day received an email from the breakdown company confirming what they had done and a call from the AA European service to confirm all was ok and we were happy.
