Car Insurance for Towing in Europe

Hi Daniel, If looking for any 'financial' advice/prices I always go the Money Saving Expert.

I accept it can be repetitive, time consuming and all a bit of a faff but I would rather get my info direct and only look for pointers from a forum.

My recent renewal, form my exiting insurer, was app £600, I queried it and it dropped to £500.

I then followed MSE advice re comparison sites and insured with AVIVA for £350 and this included European cover.

I have never been able to get a sensible car insurance quote out of the Club. Caravans and Motorhomes have been more competitive so its difficult to understand why they are so wide of the mark on cars? We don't take our car abroad now because we have a motorhome but like ET we have found John Lewis very competitive for car insurance, even a bit cheaper but it is a smaller car.

Thanks for all the replies, after a some digging around last week I was able to get a new five star Defaqto rating policy with a different firm & saved a few hundred pounds off the renewal quote from my current insurer.

I was a loyal LV= car insurance customer for years till last year when they hiked my premium by about £80. Using confused. com got the identical cover from Hastings Direct for a premium £150 less. My wife's car has also been insured with LV= and her renewal is due shortly - last premium was £466. I checked with moneysupermarket and got a premium of £182. And this was from LV=.

It's a different story with my (classic) motorcycle insurance however - the broker I use is consistently cheaper than anywhere else I've checked. Peter James if anyone's looking. The current premium is just over £100 for 2 bikes with total agreed value of £9,500. This premium includes UK and EU wide breakdown and recovery cover!
