Mayday and Caravan Storage

Is there anyone else on here who has two policies with Green Flag.... e.g. one with Mayday cover with the CAMC and another as inclusive Greenflag cover as part of a bank account e.g. a Natwest account?

What I want to establish is if I can be recovered to storeage under my Mayday policy and then, without having to call out another recovery van, be recovered straight away from storage to either home or to my repairers.

I shall try and get a difinitive answer to this next week.  I dont particularly want to get to storage and the have to ring again for someone else.

Wish me luck!

I wish they would sort this out1, I broke down last March only 5 miles from the storage and were kept waiting for 5 hours before the truck turned up. He loaded the car on the truck and hitched the van up and took the caravan to the storage and then the car to the garage (there was no humming or harring). We were left there and we had to get a taxi home. We broke down again a month later this time only 65 miles from the site, again it took 5 hours to get a truck to us, but we were taken onto our site and were told that a truck would be there the next day to take the car to a garage. We declined that offer as he couldn't guarantee a time.

But to be able to get more or less the same cover from the C&CC through the RAC will cost me over £100,00 more just so that I can have the peace of mind about double drop. Is it worth it?

I reckon it is. £100 vs all that aggro - it’s a no brainer. 

For some the alternative might be £30 for a local up to 10 mile recovery policy but I shall check out relay when ours is up for renewal

It seems that for many years the CC has mislead us regarding the Mayday coverage.  We have been paying the Premium rate in the belief that all eventualities would be covered so in essence we have been paying the extra for nothing!  Do we claim the extra we have been paying form the CC or from Green Flag?

Also although paying the extra our Jeep in some cases requires a Jeep franchise dealer to do the repair plus we have a service contract with the franchised dealer even though the Jeep is 6 years old.  It also has a complete Jeep service history which adds value to it.  Unfortunately this Jeep dealer is 65 miles from out home.

Where does that leave us?

Even may have a problem with rac arrival in your case but the most Fiat vehicles may need more help

We have only had two breakdowns in 8 years fo ownership of Jeeps.  the first was shortly after we purchased the Jeep.  The rear brake shoes fell apart.  It seemed that the previous owner never used the handbrake.  Secondly was when it went into limp mode due to a faulty sensor.

So overall Jeep seems a lot more reliable that many of the BMWs, LRs around our neck of the woods that we see by the side of the road. BTW our 2005 Jeep was not associated with Fiat in anyway.

However whatever you are driving you want peace of mind and not the rubbish recovery Mayday is offering!

@ Surfer .....   It also has a complete Jeep service history which adds value to it.  

Does it? 

PS I'd suggest a lot of auto drivers don't use the hand/parking brake ..... I rarely do but that's not resulted on the shoes falling apart.

Whilst the club are hopefully sorting out this debacle those of us who feel they need a secondary cover to ensure they can get their vehicles where they need to be could possibly do worse than have a look on Groupon where you can get basic cover for very little expense

Without doubt it does help add value to the vehicle.  I thought any one that is a responsible driver would engage the handbrake also instead of just shifting the vehicle into Park as that is laziness however we digress.
