Your general insurance should cover you as standard. You may have to let them know. Or are you talking about recovery service, just incase?

Get your crit air sticker from official website. Comes by post so do it early before travelling. Don’t use a secondary website. Usual cost was about €4 last time I did it some websites charge up to €15
Get a toll tag- having to wake the passenger at toll stations at 3:am is never good Avoid cities |

We use Boundless/LV and get a big discount on European breakdown cover. If you are x services or civil servant. They also cover big vehicles within their cover, which includes our motorhome which is a big bonus for us.

@s55ssh.
Just been reading this on another forum, and don’t know if it effects you or not. “ Our MH accident Insurance is with Advance but because we dont have Breakdown cover also with them they understandably dont cover repatriation of the vehicle in my circumstances. Our Breakdown cover is with Nationwide as part of having Flex Plus account. And up to March this year cover was provided by Brittania who definately did offer repatriation of MH if the main driver was unable to continue due to accident or illness. However on the 1st March 2022 the AA took over after winning the tender process with a new set of terms that DONT include repatriation. I only found this out yesterday and dont recall Nationwide flagging this up. So for anyone using their Nationwide Flex Plus acc to cover Euro breakdowns etc here is a salutary lesson and something to bear in mind.” |

What is not covered - 1. Recovery costs if you have not agreed with
us in advance, the method of recovery. 2. Recovery of your vehicle if we calculate the cost to do so is in excess of its market value (see General exclusion 11) 3. Recovery where your vehicle only needs minor or inexpensive repairs, costing £500 or less, inclusive of VAT. (We may agree collection or an alternative means for you to return home with your vehicle in these circumstances if repairs cannot be completed by your booked return date). 4. Recovery where the local garage indicates that it can complete repairs before your return date. 5. Recovery costs for your vehicle if nobody in your party is fit to drive. 6. Repatriation costs for you or your party if nobody in your party is fit to drive. 7. Any losses resulting from a delay in recovering your vehicle. 8. The cost of additional transit risk insurance. you should contact your motor vehicle insurer to ensure that your existing policy covers this. 9. The replacement cost of your vehicle or any salvage money if your vehicle is beyond commercial economic repair. 10. Transportation costs for a repaired vehicle. |

So it’s this bit that has caused his issue.
6. Repatriation costs for you or your party if nobody in your party is fit to drive. Where it is covered with LV. |

Ah ok. I'll cope with that and get it collected by another driver if need be.
