Due to the current situation and having a new MH with Fiat Breakdown cover, we didn't buy it this year. You can buy it as an add on at any time I was told.

Basil Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 hallii - 2020-10-22 3:30 PM Greenflag, very reasonable,, whatever you get check the weight and length restrictions. Green flag doesn't provide European cover, or leastways didn't as they provide Caravan (Camping) and Motorhome Club with their Red Pennant cover so decline European cover. Best we have used has been Britannia Rescue (LV) who we changed to when GF refused to cover. Bas Edit to correct club name - Keithl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I stand corrected, they certainly didn't used to but clearly they cover some as stated in their brochure Insured Vehicle: any vehicle we have agreed to cover and which is shown on your schedule, which complies with the specifications and carries no more than the number of persons recommended by the manufacturer (and for whom seats are provided); described below: 1. A privately-registered motor car, motorhome, motor cycle, three-wheeler or car-based van up to 3.5 tonnes when loaded – none of these must be more than 7m in length, 3m in height and 2.3m in width. Please note Minibuses and transit size vans are specifically excluded from cover. 2. A vehicle registered in the United Kingdom which is under 11 years old since first registration (or under 16 years old if you have paid the appropriate extra Premium). 3. Your towed caravan or trailer will be covered under Sections 2 and 4 if the appropriate extra Premium has been paid, provided: • It fits a standard 50mm tow ball; and • It does not exceed (including any load carried) the following gross vehicle weight: 3.5 tonnes and external dimensions: 7 metres in length (excluding any coupling device and tow bar), 3 metres in height and 2.3 metres in width; and • The weight of the caravan or trailer when loaded is not more than the kerb weight of the Insured Vehicle; and • It is of standard make; and • All caravans and trailers carry a serviceable spare wheel and tyre. However the cost of just the European cover is greater than we pay for Britannia Rescue so I guess we won't be returning to them in a hurry. Basil P.S Thanks for edit!

flyboyprowler Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 We haven't had to use this in anger yet, but the price was good and the cover seems more than adequate! https://www.driverguardian.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
