European breakdown cover

[123john]

How do people go about good value European breakdown cover, it needs to cover a 3.5 ton, 3.4 meter (ie bed over cab) height 7 meter long.

Has anybody had experience of being recovered in Europe using the recovery provided through the nationwide flexplus account? Can't decide whether to switch my nationwide account or continue with green flag

Unusual for me to post as I am usually wrong but had heard an interesting and relevant comment recently. Out of habit when we renew our Motorhome Insurance I usually add both of us on the policy as drivers. I am almost exclusively the main driver but were I to hypothetically break my arm whilst in say Puglia there would be little/no chance that my wife would want to drive our 4.5 ton motorhome back. The point being that this is quite different to sharing the driving for an occasional long stretch. The insurance company would probably not be inclined to repatriate ourselves or the motorhome with two drivers noted on the policy. Apologies for stating the obvious and others will have thought this through but I hadn't!

Depends on the circumstances. When we broke down wife's medication ran out in 4 days, travel insurance in 5 days and dog AHC in 3 days. As it was a Bank Holiday Saturday Green Flag had to get us all home and repatriate the motorhome, regardless of 2 drivers.
