[QUOTE="cotswoldiver, post: 396476, member: 4214"] All I can add is that I'm insured with Cherished and broke down in France last summer. Long story as short as I can, first remember to tell Cherished the dates of your trip as that is in the small print and may be a let out clause. DAS European tried to arrange a local repair - they tried, but it couldn't be done. DAS then arranged for a transporter take the bus and us to a closer ferry port, luckily I had enough power to get on the ferry. They covered all the costs, nothing had to be reclaimed as an expense which other recovery companies ask you to do - which is painfully slow to get your money back. At the other end I was able to drive off and I was then picked up by the AA, again arranged via DAS UK but they treated it as two separates pieces of the breakdown - European cover and UK recovery. Twas a bit of a pain, but I did arrange this section of the recovery before I left France after they told me it was two separate issues. So it is possible, the repat detail is they will get you back to the UK as part of the cover, but if it is separate to the bus you may end up picking up the cost of either the bus getting back or your travel back, they will not it appears guarantee both costs covered With most of our buses 40 years + old it is hard to get cover through normal organisations such as AA or RAC, some have cut off dates of 11 and 20 years years old.
