UK & european car breakdown cover

I need new car breakdown cover. I would need an annual UK policy but with a short european trip (15 days) also covered. I cannot seem to add the european trip as a bolt-on.
I can only find annual UK cover OR european cover (price jumps us hugely).
Alternatively I can find a single trip fixed dates cover.
Do I need to buy UK annual cover and then another fixed term european cover??
thank you

    £59 seems to be the going rate for uk/euro cover.

    I think ADAC is the way to go...

    Depending what you need I found that Nationwide account at £10 per month was the cheapest option as I used all the features.

    Might be worth investigation if you need other insurances.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Totally agree on this but it is a three year contract on a 'continuous DD'.

    No it isn't - or it needn't be.

    £67 a year for far more benefits than the AA or RAC can provide.

    Or £87 to include your partner.

    Worldwide cover.

    Well they've been mithering me after the first year, however another advantage is that there is no restriction for the age of the vehicle - you are covered in whatever wheels that you are on.
