If you’re taking your own car to mainland Europe this Summer you may be asking yourself if you should purchase European car breakdown cover. It’s hard to decide if you should buy breakdown cover but you have to weigh up the reliability of the your car, against the cost of the cover and what it might cost if you did break down on holiday.

I did a double take today when I was writing about the current Ryanir ВЈ2 flights to Ireland promotion, I was checking in the price and availability of these flights when I noticed that Ryanair are now charging a ВЈ4 handling charge per flight for both credit and debit cards. I thought that it sounded pretty steep, especially the debit card fee, as I was sure it was usually significantly lower than the debit card charge. I referred back to a post I’d written on June 7 2008 about Ryanair’s free flights and sure enough on that date the debit card fee was ВЈ1.20 and the credit card fee ВЈ3.20. That’s a whopping increase of ВЈ2.80. or more than tripling, per flight if you pay by debit card.

Ryanair are offering flights from the UK to Ireland for only ВЈ2 return if you book by midnight on Friday 18 July 2008. However as I highlighted previously Ryanair do charge card handling fees, even on free flights. It’s now ВЈ4 for a credit or debit card for each flight but if you have an Electron card then there is no charge.

Picture this: you are reclining in a spacious, comfortable chair, deciding if you remember enough German from school to make an effort to read the newspaper that was handed out to you at departure. The stewardess comes up to you, and asks what you would like to drink. You ask for a hot chocolate, but then change your mind to a cappuccino-maybe the caffeine buzz will get your German going-and she smiles and walks briskly down the aisle to fill your order. Meanwhile, you turn to gaze out your enormous, plasma TV-sized window at the rolling meadows of the Austrian countryside. Your drink has arrived and you pull down your tray from the back of the seat in front of you and relax as your favorite Hugh Grant movie starts to play on the TV screens that have been lowered from the ceiling. When it’s over, you will probably get out your laptop and use the free wi-fi to find a good German-English dictionary. What could be better than this leisurely travel? How about knowing that you paid only 20 pounds for a roundtrip ticket?
