Euro Breakdown cover
The trip this year is taking in several coutries and there's no way i'm risking it without breakdown cover.
I've done a few searches but wondered if anyone had any good reports (or companies to avoid)
I don't want to get left high and dry especially as the payments are pretty big.

Re: Euro Breakdown cover
Do you have time to get it with your insurance?
Carole Nash includes it.
Anecdotally I have an IAM colleague who had an accident abroad and got good service from Carole Nash especially as he was indisposed in hospital. They dealt with his mates without any data protection issues.

Re: Euro Breakdown cover
I'm with Carole Nash as well and although only used their breakdown cover once, many years ago in the UK, I also know a biker (strangely IAM as well) that had good support when his Triumph broke down big time in Switzerland last year.
As for specific recovery companies, been with the RAC both personally and with the business for a number of years with cars/vans but (thankfully) only one European breakdown although that was sorted quickly with no hassle.

ADAC.
Europe's AA equivalent and it's who the AA send out to you if you need assistance out there.
For plus membership for any vehicle you are with and for the whole year for it's half what the AA quote for a week for one of my bikes. 79 euros currently.
English version of their site. http://www.adac.de/mitgliedschaft/ad...p/default.aspx
You'd have to ring to join but just ask for an English speaker, likely the person answering will speak English.

Re: Euro Breakdown cover
After much searching and phone calls I have ended up taking out a annual multi trip policy with the AA.After a load of haggling I managed to get the policy down from £165 to £93.....happy days!!!!
