Who has what, who's used what and who actually provides you with a decent service! 

 

I'm not really looking for roadside assistance, mainly just getting me and/or the car home.

 

Not only for the mini, but also a VX220, neither of which have decent "book" values, so that's my current stumbling point without being ripped a new one!

 

Any recommendations?

ADAC if they are still covering UK residents. about 80 euro a year with recovery home. from anywhere in the EU. covers the person so any car you are driving.

 

you may need to email them as their web page would not UK addresses.

I'm with HIC for the Mini and I've got UK and continental cover including home repatriation for car and occupants for £38 extra on the policy cost.

It added just over £200 when I added everything, I'm insured with HIC, so I think I'll look into that option and ADAC, that way I should have cover if needed!
