My GreenFlag is now due for renewal March 16 I Have received the renewal notice. On the back page of the March Caravan Club Magazine an advert for GreenFlag states The First Night On Us (with a free night voucher). If you read the small print at the bottom it states not for renewals I feel this is unfair for those of us that have supported GreenFlag over the years.

Do what we do DRL, don't renew it, on renewal date. Wait for date to lapse then go back as a new member! Have to be seriously unlucky to have an incident on day in question!
We did that one year and two days in a lorry failed to notice we'd stopped at a roundabout and ploughed into the back of us. Wrote both car and caravan off. We were able to drive the car home but the caravan had to be taken on the back of a wagon. Cost me about £250 to get it home. How many free nights is £250? I just go to the cheapest each year on everything, that can deliver what I need. Unfortunately with breakdown there is only Greenflag for me as our caravan is too heavy for the AA and too long for the RAC (or the other way round).
Husky is right, loyalty doesn't get rewarded So keep switching everything.

RAC Arrival as a C&CC member. Every year I ring when I get the renewal and query the price and every year they knock a sizeable chunk off.
Good point tinwheeler. I should have mentioned 'after you've done your research, go back to your current provider and try it on'
It might seem a lot of hassle but I typically save about £50 for every hour I put into the research. Just ensure you're getting the deal you want though. Driving down prices by switching ( or threatening to switch) will bring more savings in the end.
