Ok, as Im off to this euro trip (and last time my brand new 172 broke down) I thought id call Renault and extend my assistance to euro.
They quoted my the £34.65 to extend for 4 days.
Still undecided whether to bother - wouldnt have thought about it but last time it was a real pain in the ass to get home without the car (it was on a bank holiday when the queens jubilee celebrations where going on)
