Cover for driving in Europe
RAC European Breakdown Cover comes as either a single-trip policy for one journey of up to 90 days or an annual policy covering unlimited trips of up to 90 days each, with two cover levels on both that include European roadside assistance, vehicle recovery and onward travel. Prices start from around £3.57 a day on a comprehensive 14 day trip in a newer vehicle in Zone 1, and the two reliable ways to pay less are the online discount, worth 10 per cent, and a further 10 per cent for people who are already RAC members. The policy is separate from UK membership, so you can buy it without being a member, and up to nine people including the driver travel as standard if the vehicle seats them. For other motoring bits, Van Racking Online covers the practical side.
