I have finally signed up with ADAC (Association Deutsche Automobile Club - ?) who are partnered with the AA for UK breakdowns but will obviously cover you when driving abroad on the 'Plus' membership at least. It is Euro 79.50 (GBP ~ 68.58) for individual membership or Euro 98.70 for you and your 'partner' (so 'man trains' included).
Here is the website: http://www.adac.de/mitgliedschaft/ad...p/default.aspx and as you cannot apply online this is the telephone number - +49 22 147 271013 . They will put you through to an English speaker so there may be a short wait (actually the first time I was waiting for 16 minutes and gave up). In actual fact if you have a basic grasp of German I am sure you can do it with a German speaker. As long as you have the German name for the package then they just require name, address, and card number.
All in all they seem to be a lot cheaper than RAC/AA et cetera once you include driving and recovery abroad.
