    Ho hum. News to me -- I've been taking my repmobile onto the continent
    approx 10 times a year on business for the last 4 years. Much cheaper
    than flying ..........

    Thanks Martin for bringing this to our attention. It appears to be
    something that quite a few people have overlooked.

    I do not understand why I should pay this if using the company car on
    company business on the continent, as I often do.
    
    I'll check to see whether it applies to business use, or whether you
    reclaim via your cc.

I've only taken a car abroad on business once and I reclaimed the extra cover as
an expense but I was in *my* car not a lease car.

I took my leasemobile to France recently and my cost centre paid the 
European cover - from RAC in my case.

2212.8I've got it anyway 8-QCMOTEC::JASPERStuck on the Flypaper of LifeWed Feb 02 1994 20:116
    National Breakdown will give free European cover as part of their UK
    offering. It could be cheaper than short-term policies. I don't see why
    this shouldn't be a legitimate expense, it depends whether your CC
    manager wants to insure against the risk of motor repatriation.

    This issue has raised it's head again.
    
    Has anyone called Leaseplan and got the full spec yet?  I called this
    morning and was told that as part of the LPassist breakdown cover
    mainland Europe cover is also included.
    
    Someone else was recommended to take out the 22 quid option (which I
    wasn't told about, but when I asked no-one knew anything about) which
    provides 'more'/'adequate' cover.
    
    Confused.
