Recovery services for heavy vehicles

I'm an AA member, and I pay them a hefty wodge of cash every year to provide recovery services, but they won't cover me for a vehicle over 3.5 tonnes.  The 101 is 4.26 tonnes.

The RAC will cover me, if I'm a Caravan & Camping Club member, but it's quite costly to do this and only really makes sense if I cancel my AA membership.  But I'm tied into the AA until November, to my amazement.

The AA can cover me on a special policy through a company called Safeguard, but Safeguard will only provide recovery services if I insure the vehicle through them too, and they won't insure it...

Can anybody recommend a company who will sell me a single per-vehicle recovery policy for a 30 year old 4.25 tonne camper, without charging the earth?

As it stands, my only option is to join the CCC and the RAC, which will cost about a hundred quid.

I doubt you will get it much less than that... you are into the realms of HGV recovery at that weight.

With ours, we joined the CC as I mentioned before and used the Club's Recovery Policy which was organised through Green Flag.  We got 2 way comprehensive cover, was about 70 quid a year I think... plus the cost of CC membership.

pritch:
I couldn't help you with the recovery, but you may want to change that last line in your signature now!

Disco Inferno:
if it s 100 quid i'd snap it up

i got caught out when they wouldn't tow my brothers van, when the engine blew,
the AA, as a gesture of good will allowed me to join on a special vehicle policy for the day and it cost 165 quid and that was cos i'd been a customer for years and hadn't used their service
