Re: european breakdown cover

I won't go into details at the mo but all i can say is a definite NO for the RAC they ended up costing me a fortune to get my van back from France and it was in a worse state than when i left it with them.

Re: Euro Breakdown Cover

All i can say is DON'T under no circumstances go with the RAC we had an absolute nightmare with them,after £1500 and damage done to Herman and my mountain bikes caused by on time recovery (the joke is in the name ) we finally got the van home.
