Euro breakdown cover with unlimited recovery costs?

[andythelandy]

Trying to find some decent breakdown cover for my travels this year and they all have the same clause in the t&c's that if it costs more than the market value of the vehicle to recover it to the UK they won't pay out at all, not that they'll just pay to the value and leave you to cover the rest they just point blank won't pay!

Now my car is at best worth about 2k and I'm heading as far as northern Italy so I'm going to be really risking it costing more than 2k to recover.

Does anyone know if any cover that doesn't have this clause?

IIRC the cost or limitation of cover relates to the age of the vehicle.
My advice, and I've driven around Europe many times, is to arrange the usual £500 parts and labour cover and just go. Put a few spares in the boot and enjoy your trip.

Bumping this very old thread as I'm driving to France and Switzerland in a couple of weeks and need breakdown cover. RAC costs £85 for 2 weeks, which seems way more than what I paid last year. Any recommendations?

Is this a case of getting a Nationwide flex account and solving uk+eu travel insurance and breakdown.

No, I have a current account. Don't need another for a single trip overseas.
