Travel insurance policys for travel abroard

Post by rodbargee »

Anyone got any good tips for one I used to use vehicle rescue direct but they seem to have stopped taking new business, I need a policy to get me and the car home if it or me breaks down. yearly policy prefferably but single trip considered would ideally cover a bike also... what you got. TIA

I've a policy with Autoaid, though I've not yet needed to use. IIRC you agree the recovery with them, pay the bill up front and then claim the money back. Much cheaper than the AA et al but you have to be able to front the money.
