[quote][i]Originally posted by willay[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by VrsTurbo[/i] ADAC - 85 full euro cover and free recovery from off the ring [/quote] I use to renew my membership every year when I was going to the Ring every year. Never wanted to use my cover and on one trip I had to as I blew up the Astra while on track. When the marshalls stopped for me I told them I was an ADAC member and I wanted to be picked up by Bongard (one of the recovery firms that work the ring, I think there is 2?) and he took me and the car back to their workshop in Adenau, then after some help from friends such as Lee, we told ADAC that my car had suffered a failure and the only way to fix it was using specialise parts from the UK for the supercharger lol. I think later that day the car was loaded on a trailer and arrived in the UK a week later, you have to give them an address of a garage to deliver the car so it went to a local land rover place near me, I then promptly got it moved to mine. While I was in Germany ADAC kept in contact with me and arranged for a hire car to be picked up from Bonn as part of the service, all I had to do was fuel it. I then dropped it off at Calais and got on the ferry as a passenger and had to arrange my own hire car while in the UK to get home. I'm pretty sure I could of claimed the £40 for the UK car hire but I never did in the end. I've heard stories of people getting plane tickets and all sorts. edit 2 - With old cars you can have a problem where they look at book value and will offer you money instead of towing it home, Lee had this problem with his Nova and they offered him a book value that was less then one of the bucket seats in the car I think. They later upped the offer to the same value of his exhaust system iirc which didn't help matters :lol: - he had to get his towed home privately in the end which can be expensive (£500-1000?) I think my Astra got away with it because it of the specialist parts BS we gave them, maybe we just got lucky? I dunno. Also worth noting that once you have ADAC (the 80 odd quid cover) you can use them in the UK too, they just contact the AA and send them to your location :lol: [Edited on 20-05-2014 by willay] [/quote]
