The cost to have a mechanically stranded vehicle towed back from France can easily approached 2000 pounds. Aside from the obvious bit of humor that one’s vehicle may not be worth that price, we issue this report to remind anyone traveling through the holiday season that the cost of European travel breakdown cover will seem a tremendous bargain should you find yourself in need of a tow home from any point abroad. AA reports that simply to have your car towed off of the highway costs £50.00 in France.
This report prompts us to compare breakdown cover before we travel for the holidays with emphasis on both short term and long-term European travel cover. To compile our breakdown cover comparison we used the help of charts and information available at breakdownchoices.co.uk. On this site we are able to easily find a wealth of information allowing us to choose a low priced bargain of a deal for breakdown cover that exactly fit our needs. The features we required included home towing and home starting.
Many people do not realize that a basic breakdown cover policy will not protect you should you need assistance with your car parked directly in front of your home. Assistance within ¼ mile of your home is an additional cost feature, as is the option of having your vehicle towed to your home as opposed to the nearest garage. Our comparison led us to choose Green Flag Breakdown and their Euro plus plan as it allowed for at home roadside assistance as well as tow home from many points throughout Europe.
