European Breakdown Cover

[skithepowder]

Hi there,

I want to get UK cover for my bike that will cover recovery to anywhere in the UK, I'm also thinking that in about 9-10 months time I'm going on a 5-6 week trip throughout Europe, I'm wondering if its worth just getting annual Euro Cover now rather than update/ get single trip cover in the future.

If I had Euro cover I'd ideally like the option with recovery of my vehicle back to the UK.

How much is this likely to cost with a bike? Who are the best people to look at? Anyone got any codes/ideas, or should I just get Uk cover for now and worry about eu cover in 10 months time?

For my france trip, they were really good when my BMW's rear diff lunched itself. Got someone out quickly. Had the bike stored in france and then recovered back to my house a couple of weeks later.

All no hassle.

If it hadn't been a Saturday, when i was coming home on the monday, they would have organised me a hire car and paid to change my ferry booking. I was riding with others so went pillion for the rest of the weekend and on the monday ferry trip. They also offered me a taxi to get me back to the hotel.

The only downside is if your bike isn't worth a lot, they will pay out the value rather than recover if recovery costs more than its worth. Luckily my bike was worth over 5k so there was no question about it coming back.

I'd personally go with a specialist company for eu cover rather than AA or similar.

All included with my insurance policy from carol Nash. To be honest this was the clincher.. the overall saving made it a steal. No need for anything else.

Sooner or later opinions fade and the name on the tank matters not. I think that happens somewhere between 3rd and 4th gear. Enjoy the ride... everything else takes care of itself.

79,50 €, german company but for the equivalent of about £70 for annual cover throughout europe for anything you are driving/riding at the time and the quality of service it's the mutts

If you break down in the UK they send the AA

The AA wanted £100 just to add extension to existing membership for one trip

I use NCI rescue, goes by various other names too such as rescue my car. I can't actually recommend them because i've not needed to use them, only ever called on my breakdown once in 2004 and that was with international breakdown were no hassle.

I pay £86 for an annual personal policy which covers me as driver or passenger in any vehicle throughout europe, including relay to destination or home.

As requested sir.

If you take out in England it should give you about 90 days european cover, but on the safe side inform them the rough dates your trip is going to be.
