european breakdown cover?

[divingdelboy]

Anyone got advice on European break down cover? I’m planning a 14 day trip sometime in May and would like breakdown cover for peace of mind... Do BMW do cover??

I remember having bmw breakdown cover when my bike was new and it was free. If your bike is new I think the free BMW breakdown service will cover you for Europe, check with your dealer..

Do you have UK cover already?

One of the wheezes I remember from my EU car trackday mates was joining ADAC (German AA) You could sign up fine from UK and they would actually use AA as the UK recovery guys - were cheaper than AA for similar cover. Of course, when in EU, you were fully covered too.

Not sure if that loophole has been shut - was a couple of years ago now.

Forgot to mention that Carol Nash my current insurers tag on European Breakdown onto my Policy, for me this saves a little over getting individual cover for each trip.

Thanks babarr46. "startrescue" is just the job. Lets hope I'll not need to use them..
