Travelling to Holland

Dolemn cover you up to a value of €650 per annum for a road side repair or a tow to a safe location.
I had to use a recovery tow last November but Dolmens is unable to tell me the cost of that tow but more importantly, how much of my €650 allowance is remaining .
Maybe it's because I am getting older and more cranky but I reckon that insurance is becoming state sponsored robbery.

Hi Mark,

Thanks a million for your reply, I really appreciate it. I tried purchasing European breakdown cover this evening online and just at the end, it told me that they don't cover vans older than 12 years old or 8 metres and not heavier than 3500kg, ours is about 8.3 metres long and about 3800kg, it is a tag axle. Do you mine me asking you who do you purchase European breakdown cover from?

Thanking you.

Kind regards,
Gerry

I also have the LV European breakdown cover as part of the motorhome insurance with them , but I also have separate cover with RAC . That cover is on the person travelling and not the vehicle, so the 10 year rule doesn't apply, the only problem is that you are limited to one call out per trip. I think last year the RAC cover was about £180 or , but that was to cover 2 people, my wife and myself.

We did this route last year and had taken out eu cover through aga mondial through the motorcaravan club of ireland. If i can remember it was around 100 euro for motorhome up to 15 years and around 180 euro for older than 15 years. We left Mayo at 4am, got the quick ferry to holyhead and drove straight to harwich for the evening sailing......it was a long day especially with an 18 month old. the ferry crossing was comfy and we had our breakfast here 51°58'40.8"N 4°07'44.3"E although it was a sunday so the town was quiet. if you have any other questions I might be able help.
