A Plan Breakdown cover

[Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO]

Has anyone taken out this cover? and have you had to use it abroad, what was the service like?

The reason I'm asking is when I renewed last week I was offered this cover and it sounds like a good deal at a good price.

In August 6 of the Manchester boys are heading across the water for an 11 day trip to mainland Europe and I was thinking, will this cover be good enough?

Never used it , but when I renewed I got the option of EU or UK only , I opted for UK as little chance of me going abroad in the Westy and the price seamed very reasonable , I was told I could extend to EU anytime for a "few quid extra " (£20? forgot the exact amount ) .

 

No reason to think Aplan  are better or worse than any other breakdown policy , but the thing to check would be what happens  if say the engine blows up !  Some policies will take the car to the nearest garage were it would be repaired at your expence  and may pay for overnight hotel etc.  I assume you would want the car and self repatriated to the UK if the worst happened .

I have it.

 

I used it recently in the UK with no problems at all

Yep that's my main concern.

I have used another policy when I've gone abroad with the caravan, and that covers just about any eventuality, but it costs a lot more £s

Me too. They took a verbal description of the problem to help work out how to get it back and just loaded it onto a trailer and took me home with no questions asked

_{Thanks for the replies so far guys  keep em' coming}

Ask them to send you a copy of the policy document.

Paul,

 

I'me with A-Plan for the Euro cover you need to let them know when you are going as well, I'll be giving them a ring soon to make sure it covers repatriation for car and driver/passenger if car cannot be fixed... it did last time (The Alsatian Tour )
