Hello,

There are only 10x 0r 11x weeks left before we start our tour on the continent. We plan to visit the following countries:
  • France
  • Germany
  • Czechia
  • Slovakia
  • Romania
  • Bulgaria
  • Turkey
  • Greece
  • Albania
  • Montenegro
  • Bosnia
  • Croatia
  • Italy
It will be again a long trip (I guess 12,000 to 14,000 km) and of course the GC will go for a service beforehand. But in case there is an issue, I would like to raise the question for the community if somebody used the VW Break Down Service?

If yes (first of all I am sorry that you needed to make the experience) what was your experience? Where they quick (good) to respond? Was the person looking after your camper expedierende and could solve the issue? Did they bring you to the next VW dealer?

I never could find any good information about the VW Break Down Cover, so if someone has a URL for me to read up that would be great.

I will look after an alternative also (AA), because my Camper Insurance Cover won't cover a lot of those countries we want to visit.

Thank you for your help.

Exited and almost ready for the trip Grand California

Our Eversure European Breakdown Cover policies have been designed to help protect you against the costs incurred in the event of a breakdown of your vehicle whilst driving in Europe.
European Breakdown Cover offers full roadside assistance and recovery from your front door all the way across Europe, and back again. Cover for Single trip is available for trips lasting 1 day upwards, and annual policies cover multiple trips up to 90 days each time. We offer cover for onward travel, including a replacement vehicle and accommodation where appropriate. We will reimburse you fees if you breakdown on a European motorway, and if required we will repatriate your vehicle up to its market value.

What is European Breakdown Cover?​

Simply put, European Breakdown cover is insurance that provides you with cover in Europe, including the UK.
Having cover in place for your next European road trip can help prevent big problems should you run into difficulties whilst driving abroad.
Breakdowns in the UK can be stressful enough, but if your break down whilst in a different country it can become incredibly difficult to resolve without breakdown cover in place.

Which European Breakdown Cover is Right for Me?​

Our European breakdown cover can be split into two different kinds of policies, single trip and annual.
To find out which is right for you, we’ve put together a guide to help you decide:

Single Trip​

For people who are travelling to Europe as a one off and aren’t likely to be going again any time soon, single trip European breakdown cover may be right for you.
This is one-off cover designed for people who don’t usually travel abroad much and need breakdown cover for a few weeks or so whilst they’re in Europe.
For more info, head to our single trip European page for all the answers

Annual​

If you plan on travelling to Europe every year, or even multiple times a year, then annual European cover sounds like the best option for you.
This is cover that renews each year and provides you with total European cover through the entire calendar year.
With annual cover, you only need to pay a one-off payment each year and be happy in the knowledge that you’re sorted for the year and won’t need to think about it again.

Which Countries Will I Be Covered In?​

Our European breakdown cover will provide protection for your vehicle in the following European countries and principalities:
Albania, Andorra, Austria, Balearics, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canary Isles, Corsica, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Isle of Man, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Madeira, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Ireland, Romania, San Marino, Sardinia, Serbia, Sicily, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Vatican City.

What is Included in European Breakdown Cover?​

European Breakdown Cover provide some unique benefits that simply aren’t available with UK breakdown cover, most noticeably, motorway fees cover. We’ve outlined some of the major benefits of European breakdown cover below:
 
Hello @tedgina,

Thank you for the information.

But, it is me, I am not sure what to do with this Information. I am not sure that a UK company will accept me (ROI) as a customer.

I thought about the original VW Break Down Cover. It is part of the service that we get with the Californias. I spoke to my VW dealer to get more information, but that was not successful.

By the way, I just got feedback from my car insurance company. I am not insured for Turkey and Albania. If we not get a different, short term, insurance we have to change our travel plans. :oops:

Regards,
Eberhard
