Winscreen crack and Nationwide Flexplus

[jopparocks]

We have started a trip to Spain and unfortunately a crack has appeared on our windscreen. We have Nationwide Flexplus but I can't see any mention of windscreen cover. It's not a big crack so wonder what your thoughts are as to whether we can leave it or take it to a windscreen repair shop. We are in Santiago de Compostella. My van is a 1997 Hymer s650.

We're with Nationwide (Flexplus).. recently had a stone chip done, but had to go through my vehicle insurer, and not Flexplus.

I wasn’t aware that windscreens were covered under Nationwide flex plus it’s only breakdowown/ phones/health insurance. Surely windscreens are covered by your vehicle insurance as LesW said

Thanks all. As Les said I'm covered by Devitt through caravan club.

Probably illegal to drive without it getting fixed (UK regulations).

Agreed, also woukdnt fancy travelling through Spain wuth it like that (as per opening statement by OP).

Think its covered by your insurer.

Flex+ cover is breakdown.

As said it comes under insurance cover.
It is illegal to drive a vehicle in Spain with a cracked windscreen but most people do as it's near impossible to get an A Class screen changed in Spain.

When mine cracked (top to bottom) I rang the windscreen cover number on my insurance policy and they said continue driving! It took about 6weeks to get it replaced, involving several phone calls (to me) to ensure it was the correct size.
