    Just been through all the comparison sites and decided on Green Flag for us. Did look at AutoAid, but for cover for 2 people it was nearly the same price after taking GF's Quidco cashbook into consideration.

    Interesting as when I got my renewal a live in partner/spouse got cover for free.
    Maybe that's just for existing customers?

    Their policy states cover is only for the policyholder and spouse or civil partner.

    I doubt the attending recovery service will demand any proof that your nominated other half is actually your spouse or civil partner!!

    I did consider going down on one knee to him indoors, but it seemed a bit drastic to save 50 quid!

    You won't find any official link, but there have been a number of anecdotal posts on mse about this.

    In any case if you do need help and have to pay and claim if you claim straightaway and pay with a credit card the money is refunded before the cc bill has to be paid

    Nationwide do cover with bank account at £10 per month. Uk and European cover as well as travel insurance. If joint account then you're both covered
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    ADAC. Personal cover for two of us, full-year cover for any <3.5t vehicle in any geographical European country or country with a Med shoreline - €80. Yes, I'm in the UK.


    The ADAC site says you must be resident in Germany?

    Only German residents can join on-line as the on-line application form doesn't recognize non-German post-codes.

    Just phone them.
