Bongo Fury

We have negotiated a deal with 2Gether Insurance for motor breakdown cover. There are 3 types available, including European cover, starting at £25 per year. Click on link below for details.

It says motorhomes & campervans but in the blurb it says "Cover for cars, vans, and motorcycle up to 3.5 tonnes (excluding any vehicles with living accommodation)." - how does that work with a converted Bongo?

Its the usual "Cut & Paste" error, the heading at the top says;

2gether motor breakdown covers all cars, vans, motorcycles and motorhomes including campervans up to 3500 kg GVW and not exceeding 27feet. 2gether can offer a bespoke solution if you fall out of this criteria.

The text under the "deal with Bongo Fury" says;

Cover for cars, vans, and motorcycle up to 3.5 tonnes (excluding any vehicles with living accommodation).

Whoever did the web page didn't proofread it! But it still needs clarification

Isn't it 2gether who also are now closing insurances if you don't have a CAT1 alarm http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 04#p537604

I asked them about that this morning, and they said that wasn't the case, except in a few postcode areas with high theft rates.

Oh bugger, ive just renewed my breakdown cover with 2gether only last week £55

Makes sense !

I need UK & Europe breakdown, this looks good apart from the 1 hour labour costs? Is this normal?

Why, what else did you expect?

AA .. RAC ... No charge for labour at the roadside. ...????

I'm not sure what to expect, which is why I'm asking.
I will be travelling round Europe for 2 months and I didn't know if the limit on labour time is an issue.
AA quoted £265 for EU cover and £77 for UK.
I guess it's a gamble if I go for the 'budget' option.

bump....

was going to start a new topic. But as this is here, does anyone have any recommendations on European breakdown cover?

What is the most comprehensive cover for the worst case scenario?

AA full european cover with zone 2 which includes france, spain, italy etc is £394.41

Any other options?

Try Quoteline Direct. We've been covered by them for the last 2 years. £59 for European cover.

Thank you kind sir

As I feared, the bongo I am looking at purchasing is 16years old this year

This 2gether insurance looks really interesting. Till now I've been covered by Europassist for foreign trips, and AutoAid for UK recovery. Europassist has just sent a very nice letter saying how desolated they are that they can no longer provide cover as the Bongo (actually a Freda) is now ancient history (over 16) and too old to rock.

I looked at the link and there is no apparent age limit on 2gether. Can anyone confirm this?

Cheers

I too am looking for european breakdown cover on my 18 y o Bongo, does anyone know if 2gether are the only option as most have a 15year old limit.

thanks!
