Health warning - taking out european cover for your surf trips with the Royal Automobile Club is hazardous to your mental well being and the cash in your pocket. It seems if you have a vehicle that is over 10 years old they are one of the few who give you cover but hell does it come at a high price!! The van broke down. They rescued us from a Spanish highway at midnight and stuck us in a hotel right on the door step of an aggregate plant, made us pay for our car hire and our own hotel, forgot to book our onward travel and could not get us out of the country having no agreements with flight operators to provide anything along the lines of 'we will get you home'.
We're now trying to recover the £400 quid we didnt realise we had to spend. So not only did we have to beg to come back but we missed all that lovely surf in France.
