I wanted to warn everyone with ADAC membership that although you may get the normal renewal letter, that if you renew after 01/04/2020 you are no longer entitled to ADAC PLUS membership (which covers breakdown in the UK and Europe).

    Just had letter from ADAC advising that  our PLUS benefits will not be available from 1.1.21 (our renewal date), only CLASSIC benefits ie breakdown assistance etc in Germany only... for a reduced price.

    So Europe cover only ok for the rest of 2020.

    We got our letter today. Our renewal date is 1.11.20. Its a bit sad, but not entirely unexpected as they had already stopped taking new customers from outside Germany. So we wont be renewing. I think you have to give them 3 months notice?

    Yes it is a sad situation but obviously catering for Customers all over world is a burden.  I don’t believe any of our Breakdown Organisations take foreign Members as ADAC especially at such a good price.

    We ourselves won’t suffer as we decided few months back that we would not be renewing next year as we will not be Driving in Europe anymore.  Sad but age has crept up on us..

    This is notice I got today from ADAC this morning,which I have translated below As you are an interested member of ADAC, the ADAC focuses its mobility services, in particular on its more than 21 million members based in Germany, in order to provide them with the best offers and services worldwide, against the background that the complexity of legal requirements is constantly increasing it has to be fulfilled in connection with residence abroad, we have decided to offer services in the rhythm of ADAC membership exclusively for members residing in Germany

    Therefore we will change your ADAC plus membership (and possibly existing memberships of partners / children) from 01.02.21 to membership without plus benefits.

    Nevertheless, you will continue to be protected under your classic ADAC membership, for which you will of course pay a correspondingly cheaper membership fee. The services associated with classic ADAC membership, such as breakdown assistance in Germany, legal advice, ADAC Tourset or the ADAC benefit program, remain the same for them


    If your main residence is in Germany and does not correspond to the address given above, please let us know the address of your main residence in Germany,

    Sincerely

    The difference in cover you will be offered from ADAC is below meaning just Germany.
