Euro breakdown cover

Post by ratherbeintobago »

Any recommendations? Single trip, France/Belgium (and possibly Ned/Lux, though unlikely).

Thanks,

Andy

To cover what? You? Bike? Car?

Sorry - car. No bikes going on this trip, sadly…

Read the small print on your policy, could be covered already, or could be extended for a small obulus

You could try what pdq of this parish used successfully: stand at the roadside waving a tow rope and a €20 note :wink:

Yep.
Have a read at your policy document or give your insurance a ring.

We're covered with ours, though very unlikely ever to use it.

Don't wave them!

Stand steady, then one's desire is fully and clearly read.
Especially that is a €20!! :shock:

As an aside there is a (fairly reasonable) fixed fee for recovery on tolled French motorways.
I read it at an idle moment at a French service station. A statutory document on a wall.

I have fortunately never had to put it to the test though.
