Dear All,

I would like to evaluate the travel / breakdown insurance services offered by the club and others.

In a motorhome we wish to travel for 2 weeks in France and visit 6 sites. In order to establish the benefit of breakdown insurance, I would like members to share their experiences. The motorhome is our holiday and our accommodation and I see that sometimes breakdown cover offers forward travel to your destination. 

To my thinking with no experience, then once the motorhome is damaged. it is end of holiday?

Please share some of your experiences and how the French authorities deal with the issue when you call the emergency number. Where do they take you and  what happens next.

 

Please share a positive situation that occurred in France with the breakdown insurance of the club?

Hi Peedee,

Is the C&CC’s Arrival & Foreign Travel Insurance the same thing.   I was looking at their equivalent to RP, ie,  Travel Insurance and here is an extract from their TOR.

“Are there any restrictions on cover?      Cover only applies to vehicles which do not exceed the following gross vehicle weight and dimensions: weight 4250kg; length 8m, height 3.4m; width 2.5m; or carrying more than 8 persons including the driver Vehicles aged over 10 years of age must adhere to the servicing requirements as recommended by the manufacturer. If the vehicle is over 20 years of age, it must also have been serviced by a reputable dealer no more than three months before the Trip starts.”

EHIC may, of course, disappear following Brexit and, as has been pointed out in the past, does not provide for medical repatriation.
