Mayday and Caravan Storage

Same here.

For me, Mayday have until the end of August to sort out a new agreement with Mayday, after which I may well need to approach RAC Arrival through the CCC.

I did a quote on their website and the cost worked out at over £300 to recover our car and caravan?  I am not a member of the C&CC so maybe if you are a member the price is different?

At the moment you get "Free?"  ccc membership if you join rac arrival

£149 for non members inc ccc membership or £109? for members +£15   voucher

Could it be that the price difference has to do with the level of cover.  £300 seems very expensive, Surfer.  Certainly more than double that which I am currently paying foe almost the top cover with Mayday.

There appears to be some discrepancy between the above quotes and the one I have just been quoted online...£192 for everything except additional driver.  I wonder if the CCC are aware of the Maydays shortcomings and  ‘adjusted’ the costings. I am a member and simply selected the options on cover. 

And for me to cover the same things as Mayday the (covering OH as well) Cost for RAC version with C&CC is £235 Which I guess is about £100 more than Mayday although I would also get a £15 voucher back.

I can however see one or two possible gaps in the recovery.

Recovery
If we can’t fix your car, motorhome, caravan or trailer at the roadside, we’ll tow it, you and your passengers anywhere in the UK, if you’re more than a ¼ mile from home. 

Arrival also has these unique features 

Arrival Return – if your car, motorhome, caravan or trailer breaks down when you’re travelling to a campsite, and your trip is for at least 2 days, we’ll take it, you and your passengers to your campsite and back home again if your vehicle can’t be fixed while you’re away.

Arrival Follow-on Recovery -  if you’re towing a caravan or trailer, we’ll take it to a different location up to 75 miles from where we recover your car or motorhome. 

I should have added that the cover we require is for 2 cars and also the "At home" clause.  That was for the quote which was in excess of £300 and included the so called free joining the C&CC.  Perhaps the "joining feed" was not free and added into the quote of about £365?

To be clear , using a current popular phrase, here is the breakdown of cover and their respective cost:

Roadside £58.40

Recovery £51.09

Onward Travel £30.67

At Home £52.55

Total £192.71..  minus £15 voucher.

At the moment I am covered comprehensively through Mayday (except for the recently discussed double drop if you are recovered 'home').  That includes Personal cover for both my wife and I (i.e. we are covered in any vehicle as a driver or passenger), for £129 (last September).  It may well be worthwhile taking out an additional policy (cheaper), specifically to get me from my storeage to home or to the garage, with another company (in addition to my Mayday cover).  GreenFlag have already said they cannot run 'two policies' together, even if one is Mayday and the other is the 'freebee' through my bank account.  This might be the cheapest interim solution, while the Club are negotiating with GreenFlag.
