Yep, it's a no-brainer IMO. Do you want to be driving abroad only third party cover?

What insurer you with? - you may already have it on the policy.

I'd still say it's worth it though? Even more than breakdown cover. Costing me £20 to up mine and I'm definitely doing it. I'm sure the minimum third party cover you get abroad doesn't cover fire and theft - think about that one! I'm not 100% sure about the last bit, but that's the impression I got from my policy - that all it is is the minimum third party cover you legally require to drive abroad.

ADAC are very good in my opinion. I used them to provide my breakdown cover when I lived in Germany. I used them once in Calais and they put us up in a Hotel and then got us a hire car to get us back to Germany. Very efficient.
