Hi

I have EU/UK breakdown cover for my car via the manufacturer, it comes with the car when it is serviced and is with the RAC. 

I have personal holiday insurance with a high street bank and they add in EU/UK car breakdown cover again the RAC and

my car insurance company add in breakdown cover for free...however

In order to have the the caravan insured UK/abroad e.g. for repair/recovery I have to take out separate insurance

So I have 3 covers for the car but need to pay an extra £200 for the caravan.

I wondered is there a way or a one stop shop to cover all my needs, UK and abroad as even the club require 2 policies.

It sounds as though you had a bad time, but  I think you have to insure  with Red Pennant  to have much hope of  a hire car sent out to you from UK., and that's not entirely certain.

 We ourselves have had to leave car and caravan near the Med and come home by train after a breakdown, and on another occasion fly home urgently when mother was taken to hospital - but we were without a dog. But I hear of a lot of dog owners who give little thought to how they will get their dog back to UK when things go wrong. Your case might be a warning to others.
