You know those road trips you dream about? For us, it was the Scottish Highlands. Winding roads, epic views, and a week of pure freedom in our campervan. And for the most part, it was perfect we had saved our holidays from work to make it possible !
We were miles from the nearest village, halfway up a single-track road with no phone signal, when the van coughed, spluttered, and died. No warning lights, just silence.
Cue that sinking feeling. No garages for miles, no recovery trucks in sight, and it was later in the day. This could have been a nightmare.
Luckily, we’d added European and UK breakdown cover to our campervan insurance. When we finally got a signal, one call set everything in motion:
Total cost to us? £0. Without that cover, we’d have been looking at £600+ for recovery, plus hotel costs and lost holiday time.
Here’s what saved us:
Breakdown cover included in the policy (not just roadside assistance)
Onward travel and accommodation as part of the package
Cover for remote locations (check the small print,some policies don’t include this!)
This was the one time everything went right and it’s because we had the right cover. Don’t wait until you’re stuck on a Highland road to find out what your policy really includes.
