European breakdown cover for cars over 15.

[pnicho]

Well am off to Le Mans next week and the AA etc are kicking off because my car is 15 years old this year but I don't know when it was exactly made (1996 but what month).

What European breakdown cover do people use for their old cars.....?

Greenflag.

Mines over 17 years old and they didn't seem to mind.

Thanks - I only want single trip though really as I'm not planning on spending a lot of time over there..

I got cover from my insurers (Sky). They only do a 12 month product but seeing as I'm going to Duderstadt at the end of July as well it beat any quotes I got for 2 separate week long trips for an old car. Plus it will cover me in the UK and I've been rolling around in a very old car with no breakdown cover for far too long

Green flag wouldn't do mine at 17yrs old but I'm pretty sure I used them last year (via Tesco breakdown).

ADAC. They are german. Their website is in german. However if you put the effort in its the biggest bargain ever. €65 for unconditional AA cover in the UK and full european cover.

RAC, AA coverage up here isn't that good anyway though which is why I went with RAC (apart from AA's prices / policies were pants), sure I'm covered for European travel with RAC.

I got full Euro cover from Aviva £167 all mods declared 12 months (UK by RAC) full package, happy days )

After taking out expensive policies for numerous years, my current view is "take a tool kit, I'll at least be able to make it move!"

It's much cheaper!!

I was told to go for ADAC. It's good if you got the to the Nur.

Having crashed at the nurburgring i can vouch for the fact that they do cover you and if your car is worth more than £2000 they will send it back to the UK. Proving a modified car is worth more than a standard market price is tricky over the phone, but it can be done.

I went with the RAC with full european breakdown cover I said I was a member of the MR2 owners club (which I'm not), instantly saved 70 quid!

Turns out once I got the small print through that the breakdown provider had changed their terms and were no longer going to cover anything 17yrs or over. So I found these people:

No such problem
