This topic has been raise before but i have never seen a reply from the club. WE pay £49 a year membership for what,, to pat the excessive salaries of some of the staff.  because i do not consider that this fee benifits the members. I am shortly of on a 5 week trip to Spain where the site fees including serviced pitches will cost me £364 for 21 days for the same period on the club site in Brighton would have cost me £597 (21 day is the maximum that you can book on a club site,) I am old enought to have enjoyed the Enroute magazine when there were items that were of interest to members, the current magazine takes me 5 minutes to read because there is nothing of interest unless you want to read the adverts?. will seriocly consider re newing my membership next year. THe only thing that i would miss would be the network of Cl.

Even then its no cheaper or better cover than available to everyone out there. None of the "offers" for being a member are better than offered elsewhere.

The CMC is a retail company selling goods and services. If another retail company offers better value for money, then use them instead.----. It's called choice..

cool

I phoned for my quotes. C&CC gave me a quote but the additional days were only on offer and continued conditional on remaining a member. We had let our C&CC membership lapse so had to rejoin. Both clubs asked for membership numbers. I believe they are insurance brokers in their own right as they are 'licensed' so maybe you can have cover without being a member but T&C maybe different.

The advice to "shop around" is good advice.

I tried the CMC for car insurance and received a quote nearly three time that offered by LV and they are not the cheapest by a long way. 

I changed our caravans insurance to the CCC for a near 50% premium reduction. However I stick with the CMC for the Mayday recovery insurance - for now.

Agree...My 2017 Annual multi trip overseas insurance quotes from both clubs were.. C&CC £282.00, CaMC £368.00(standard) almost identical cover except for a 'pre existing med condition' on the C&CC policy.. Cannot get a 2018 quote online from the CaMC as start date will be Feb 18...for some reason you have to ring a call centre for dates after 'current date start'..

Shopping around for everything these days is only sensible. Also once you have figures, for whatever you're buying, a period of thought and reflection while you contemplate the T&C and implications before you jump 😉

I regret that I am very disappointed with the current pricing strategy and will being voting with my feet at membership renewal time. I just had a weekend at Brighton which was outrageously priced and now, I try to book a week in Cornwall out of school holidays and, again, way too expensive. Greed will kill so many businesses in this country.
