ADAC is the German equivalent of our AA / RAC. They are apparently much cheaper and offer cover throughout Europe for around the same as we pay for homestart in UK. My German is not good enough to understand their website, any guidance on how to go about joining would be greatly appreciated, thanks (Dankeschon) in advance.

Many thanks for that Conmankiller, I had actually been on that site but failed to scroll down enough to see the join button. Thanks. BB

ACE in Germany are much cheaper than ADAC and they cover Europe too. I used to be with ADAC and have been with ACE for the past 4 yrs. I believe you will need a German address for both (at least for the ACE) but I know that ACE will accept a British licence plate (it's you that's insured, not the car).

If you are under 30 yrs you pay EUR 28.75 for the first year, EUR 57.50 thereafter and also if you are over 30 yrs.

Im german myself and live in the uk , have always been a member of ADAC. It is much cheaper and offers a lot more cover then other companys here in the uk.There is a link on their website all in english straight forward.You best go for Membership Plus to be covered anywhere in europe.Im happy with the service they offer! You dont have to have a german address!

Hi there, we have joined, it is wonderful cheap and we get sooo much more. Have been shafted by the RAC big time when in holidays. Now we are 4 years with the ADAC. there is an english explanation on their web site. Can also help with any german, fluent. Let me know if you still need more help.

Regards

We joined ADAC in March for our holiday with car and caravan in Europe as no UK company would cover us for an 8 meter twin axle caravan. Green Flag would but only thro the CC and that was nearly double the cost of ADAC applying direct to Germany on Line. 79.90 euros is what we paid.
