Bongo Fury

Hi All, Going to be Bongoing in France in early June. Previous years have always been in a large motorhome.
This year I'm flying solo!
OK so what's the best deal for European Breakdown Insurance? (single trip or annual, I don't rightly know yet.) My Bongo is DVLA regged on a '55 plate so would 2005 be it's actual age of manufacture? If so then it's 11 years old.

I've looked at Shield Insurance, (Equity Red Star) they cover both “UK and European” for £75.00 per annum - seems to be a good deal, maybe?
"Available to caravanettes and motorhomes less than 20 years old and up to a max. 3000c.c’s only
Cover applies for single trips of 45 days or less or no more than 90 days in total during the period of insurance"

Any better deals than this around - I don't want to combine it with my actual vehicle insurance.

Edit - Just found this from "quotelinedirect.co.uk" - comprehensive breakdown insurance for just £59.00 per year. As well as providing breakdown cover throughout the UK we automatically include a number of European countries* (limited to 30 days for a single trip).

We used them a few years ago and had excellent service when I stupidly forgot to flick the switch on the control unit and flattened the starter battery.
The breakdown truck in France actually broke down on the way to us causing us to miss our ferry from Le Havre. They paid for us to use the tunnel (about£200) last minute which was good as the channel crossings were horrendous that night. No quibling . Just booked it for us.

Thanks for that - but which of the two companies were you with?

{ bump }
any updates, anyone?

In general ... look at what they are offering. Some cover only to local garages, some will repatriate you, etc.

Well, I've taken out a breakdown policy with quotelinedirect http://www.quotelinedirect.co.uk/breakdown/
For the price it does seem to be good value for money as it covers 12 months UK and Europe (30 days single trip/ 60 days total) Covers vehicles up to 20 years old. Cost was £59.00 !!
