CC Mayday or C&CC Relay Breakdown Cover?

I presume you read the original post Patmau? 

Having been very happy with my Mayday cover for the last umpteen years and the price not having risen overly much I have not compared it with other cover for a long time. When I first took it out, RAC, AA etc would only recover your car but not your van, I presume Arrival is their extension to cover caravans at extra cost?

Arrival is for C&CC members. My findings are that it is considerably dearer than Mayday - as laid out in OP. 

As we have already said, Easy, I get Arrival for slightly less than you pay Mayday.

For, Lewisjack, I think Arrival is the sensible way to go.

 

Aye but we did put it down to your haggling Skills I thought and not their advertised price. Also depends if C&CC member. 

It sounds as if for LewisJack it is the only real option

Thank you for your comments guys. They have been useful. Just one more point for clarification: RAC Arrival are saying my caravan length of 7.37m is in excess of their length for recovery under their policy. Their policy states 7.0m max. Green Flag state 7.0m max (not including hitch & tow ball). Mayday state No maximum. Any final comments would be useful. Sorry for being a pest. Regards

Arrival provides Club members with all the benefits of standard RAC breakdown cover plus specialist cover for your towed vehicle.  So, whether you're driving every day or on your holiday, you'll have all the breakdown protection you need for your car, caravan or trailer.

Special Offer - join today and you'll receive a FREE £15 Club Voucher^ that you can spend on a range of Club products, such as UK Club Sites, Club membership or the Club's Travel Service.

Special benefits for caravans, trailer tents and trailers include:

 

Caravan breakdown recovery on any UK campsite.
Cover for large units over 7.6 metres (25ft) in length or 2.3 metres (7 ft 6 in) in width.
If your caravan cannot be towed and requires recovery on a flatbed truck, RAC will recover it at no additional charge*.
Arrival Return so if you suffer a car or caravan breakdown on the way to a campsite and RAC can’t repair you at the roadside or at a local garage within a reasonable amount of time, they will take you, your car and caravan to the site and back home again*
Follow on Recovery, so we can take your caravan to a second location of your choice (within a 75-mile radius)*
A Re-Unite service so if you are away from your campsite when your car breaks down, RAC will take you back to the site within a 75-mile radius to collect your caravan before getting you home*.
Optional European caravan breakdown cover with no supplements (for cars or caravans)
Personal breakdown cover, so you will be covered as a driver or passenger in any vehicle, whether you are towing or not.

Agreed. Arrival has no size or weight restriction.

They carried a previous MH of ours that was over 25ft long and weighed 4.25t. However, not all their patrolmen are aware of Arrival and may have to take advice from their control centre.

I suspect the shorter length quoted by RAC is the max under their ordinary cover. Arrival is more or less a commercial recovery scheme.

It renewed in September, but will do next year certainly.
