misterthrifty

Were driving in France in a couple of weeks and I would like to arrange one trip breakdown cover for my car which is afew years old.

Any suggestions for budget, 1 week cover?

Thanks

I know this is for long term, but it might still work out cheaper if you have no breakdown cover at the moment/about to run out.

https://www.sharpinsurance.co.uk offer breakdown cover in UK and Europe for £44.99.

I checked out European breakdown cover with https://www.insureandgo.co.uk and found 3 weeks cover for £30.72
I couldn't better this for my car. I hope it helps you.

Hi misterthrifty,
Make sure you read the breakdown tcs carefully, because france has private roads the breakdown service dont normally collect you. The official french motorway breakdown services collects you but you might occur costs that are not covered by your european cover

What to do on a French motorway
Motorways in France are privately managed, so if you break down on a French motorway or motorway service area, the AA cannot send out assistance to you.

Go to the nearest emergency box or phone, dial 17 and the official motorway breakdown service will come out to you.
Once you have been towed off the motorway/service area, call the AA's 24-hour helpline for further assistance.
