donal Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 My current insurance policy includes breakdown cover free of charge. It covers roadside repair up to 1 hour and if not successfull towing to a repair ceter within 50 miles. I have a 2004 Hymer I bought a few months ago. Do I need to take out AA 5 star cover or is what I have got already sufficient. I would really appreciate some advise on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enodreven Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hi, I belive the AA 5 star (albeit i'm not sure if its still called that) has a number of elements it can provide medical cover and i belive a few other items such as over night accomodation and car hire etc etc. you need to check what is included within your existing breakdown cover and then decide ? on what you need ? The other question is where are you intending to go ?? if its into France/Spain etc. then i would suggest you have medical insurance and the new E111 replacement card, I would also have some form of breakdown insurance that provides a hire vehicle and accomodation if the vehicle is out of use for more than 24 hours as you need to remember it is your home while you are traveling. I am sure if you give us some idea of what your intentions are the other people hear will come up with a list of the items etc that they recccomend you take with you ? hope that helps Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonB Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Donal Does your current breakdown cover also provide repatriation of your motorhome back to the UK if necessary? I know that the AA would only include this facility up to a certain vehicle length/weight some time ago. However, the RAC will accept long/heavy vehicles via the Arrival scheme through the Caravan and Camping Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donal Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 RonB, No my current breakdown cover will only cover towing my motorhome to a garage within 50 miles. Donal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
