Best place for Motorhome Breakdown Recovery.

Just got a renewal quote for Breakdown Recovery from A Plan Insurance and it's fierce high.

Can anyone on here recommend a Company who might give me a reasonable quote?

Really I just don't want to be stuck away from home or stranded on a motorway.

Not so worried about Home Start. Plenty of jump leads and I could just go back to bed.

I am in Northern Ireland if that makes any difference.

Thank you.

Poor/lucky Aliphatcamper is only 49.......... will have to wait till after the next birthday to get Saga. Isn't it for the over 50s?

I've had the privilege of meeting BettySwollocks and viewing his fine MH and motorbike combination.

Very flattered to be described as 49 but I was that age once but a good few years ago.

Gonna ring my insurer again to see what they have to offer

Will report back.

Oh, I see.

Don't go by my profile. I'm basically honest it on forums like Face-ache I tweak my details so that info about me can't be so easily harvested.

I look at what some people put on Facebook and it's crazy.

Here's our house and we're going on holiday and here's a couple of photographs of our kids and the school they go to, "don't they look cute in their uniforms"? Their names are Floella and Cuthbert.

I dont think its available in ROI

Dolemn have a breakdown assistance, included into their mh policy .
I have used it twice with no problems.

Dolmens limit is €650 per claim. The main question asked is the lenght of overhang pass the rear wheels and the ground clearance of the rear bumper.
I had to use it last September to be recovered with a blown engine, just 3 weeks into a renewal.
A few weeks ago, when booking Irish Ferries for a French sailing we included their own breakdown assistance insurance on the booking.

I will try to link the policy booklet.

Just to bear in mind, the day of expecting the insurance company to pick up everything for free is long gone.

The cost of a recovery truck is roughly, €50 call out fee and then €100 per hour. Remember that the return trip for the truck has to be factored into the journey. These are the same rates that general haulage companies use to price jobs across Europe. The days of the per mile rate is only applicable to taxi.

Should I be unluckily breakdown in Europe, my intention is to use the Alliance/Irish Ferries policy to get me as near to Cherbourg as possible and then use Dolmens for the rest of the way. Once the wagon is in Cherbourg port it is Irish Ferries problem to load it onto the boat.

After you have used your insurance allowance on a claim to recover, it is possible to pay the balance of the trip directly to the insurance company using your credit card. This ensures that you get the best rates of haulage available.
The only snag is that you must have a delivery address. Mine will be Cherbourg port.

Well my Motorhome is 24 years old.

No engine management light, ABS light, air mass meter or any of the various gubbins fitted to modern vehicles to go wrong.

It's a well maintained old school diesel and I reckon is as reliable and much more "fixable at the roadside" than a modern vehicle.

Also I wouldn't be calling out a recovery truck to change a puncture.

I had Britannia on the car and then the motorhome and it recovered the car from Dublin airport back to Moira without issue or increase in premium, caouldnt fault it. I am now with ADAC and do not intend to let that one lapse!!!
