FRENCH FROLIC 10 - 21/8 to 28/8

[Rag_It]

Wouldn't say I was getting hung up on it, and certainly wouldn't avoid buying it Campbell, just a thought before i call the men in masks whether it is cheaper for a member or not!

Trust me the bill for FF is already mahoosively scary and we are still a week and a bit away from leaving!!

[Sanjøy]

Ginetta?

If only, no, much more sensible boring and slow.

are you coming now Big D?

Sure am!!

can it do 150mph, frolic wont be the same without a proper fly by

[campbell]

LOL, sorry Dave, didn't mean to imply you were being picky Quite right to shop around...main thing I'd go with is quality of service, based on feedback from others, if you can find it in time...Tut might know, LOL!

[mrbennybennett]

What deals have you all got on european breakdown cover?
AA is about £88
RAC, £83
Direct line £63

Is it best sticking with the AA?, anyone used direct line??

Stu

Im not a member of AA but got a quote just for the trip and it was £55.77

Depends how long you're going but worth checking out AA annual policies too. Especially if you intend going to Europe again within the year.

I've found the 2-11 has AA 'Lotus Assistance' which covers Europe too, free for 2 years (yet to read the small print tho').

Racepod...

Is the trailer taller than 2m? would put you on the higher Peage rates...

I had some scary charges last year

Your van must be on the borderline of 2m high? (Rangie should be under, drop the suspension for peages... )
I guess the double trailer would have been over 2m...single would then have been 50% cheaper.

I should have the same but seem to have lost the details....

It was fine earlier this year - £45 from the way north from Toms place - which was what the guide book estimated for a car The Rangie is 1.9m in road mode, and the trailer is pretty much exactly the same height

Cool, hate to have you letting the tyres down to sneak under.

The peages have some kind of height scanner to automatically detect if you're over 2m and ping you for the higher rate. Supposedly it can tell the difference between a 'tall' vehicle/trailer/caravan and a normal car with say roofbox or bike on top...

one of my bills was £85.

[hendeg]

I'm with AA so just tagged it on.

Was it £88 to tag it onto your membership you have just now? Seems expensive, hopefully a discount for existing customers...

I was £95 with P&L. I'm not sure when I'm coming back so I tagged on a few extra days just in case.

[DDtB]

Quidco are doing £20-£40 cash back on RAC European breakdown policies just now too.

Official figure is 145 so we'll have to try and find out.

i have an yearly euro AA cover that i took out a couple of years ago. I called them up as i had the van and trailer on it last year, they have just given me a £27 credit as i only have the 211 on it now.

Think its about £120 p&l, I will have to go to spa/ring before the year is out to get my money's worth though.
