Barclays travel pack for overseas

I'd assumed that referred to the car

Yes indeed, but was reading this re Barclays Travel Plus Pack

"Travel Plus Pack
Holiday cover with extras for £18 a month" minimum 6 months

"Worldwide travel insurance from Aviva combined with comprehensive RAC breakdown cover (in the UK and Europe)"

"Comprehensive breakdown cover
Roadside and at-home rescue with national recovery, onward travel and cover in the UK and Europe"

the only down side I see is that it is only for 30 days but you can get an upgrade to 90 days, not sure how much this would cost, but if you compare this with RP, there is a vast differance, ok RP is a bit more generous with what it pays out, but Aviva/RAC benefits would fit with most situations if needed.

Perhaps it would help to know what the "extras" are. There’s no mention of caravan in your quote, Rufs.

RAC comprehensive breakdown cover includes caravans , or at least that is what it says on the RAC website, would like to speak to a person at Barclays, but as is the norm now, queue for 3 days on the phone and then get somebody who cannot answer your questions, 

We are with Nationwide and have been using them for our breakdown and holiday insurance for quite sometime now. 

As you said 30 days cover worldwide is standard, 70 and above pay a £65 supplement (only 1 per couple) extra days work out around £1 a day. Based on what we paid last year.

Unless it's changed this year it was underwritten by UK insurance and the breakdown changed this year from Brittania to AA.

Don't know if that helps at all. 

I looked into this travel pack a while back & although it looks good value for money be aware of the full length of your caravan. The maximum length of a caravan in the UK for recovery is 7.6m (including tow frame)

However it's different when abroad.

Go through the terms and conditions and eventualy under the heading

"General terms and conditions of European Breakdown Cover"

 the last sentence of point 2 says, 

"Caravans and trailers must not be more than overall dimensions as follows: length including tow bar 7m; height 3m; width 2.55m.

Hope the link works!

Good luck.

great help, have  been getting info via chat from Barclays as telephone just useless and nobody could tell me what the suplement would be for 90 days, they just said i would have to phone, so my guess is that Barclays will be pretty much in line with NW, which is still far cheaper than RP. thank you 

tks, was aware of dimensions, mine just about fits in with the rules, but i have seen tow trucks in Spain picking up twin axel units, and as most of them use the same Spanish breakdown companies I dont think i would have a problem, I think we paid £500 approx for RP this year for single trip & thought that was a rip off, but have to say their payouts are much higher and as we were still in the grips of Covid i paid up , just in case

Barclays Travel Pack is astonishingly good value (£12.50 per month?) and highly rated by Which but be aware that if you try and extend the time away beyond 30 days it’s treated like a new premium and quite expensive. I think over £90 for three days so we reduced our planned stay from 33 days to 30 days to accommodate this. As breakdown cover was included for all vehicles I now have two concurrent covers on my car until one expires.
Still need separate European breakdown for the Motorhome because I don’t believe Barclays fully covers repatriation.

Not as good value as Nationwide Flexplus which also includes worldwide travel insurance etc for £13.50 / month.
