Difference Green Flag and Mayday

Someone may correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that with regard to recovering a caravan, Green Flag have a maximum length restriction of 7m, whereas with the Mayday version, there is no upper limit on caravan length.

I'm sure that's why I switched because the last van was 7.9m

It’s usual for recovery companies to have weight and/or length restrictions but that’s not the case with Mayday or Arrival.

I think that you are wrong R&R.

I pay around £130 to Mayday. Includes home start and either me or OH in any car (that is the personal cover element I think. Don't them meed second car. Also Mayday includes pre departure cover which somebody used when they had a mover problem. Might have been KJ.

Another consideration is if you are away from the caravan they will take you to the caravan if the car has to go for repair. You still have to get to the repair garage yourself though to collect or go with the car and wait. Or as I did with just one more site to visit when turbo intercooler went, be recovered home with the caravan. 

Some reckon that if you store your caravan away from home you might be better with the RAC Relay cover through camping and caravanning Club because they will take car and caravan to separate destinations if needed. I am not sure of the situation with Mayday but I store at home. When I had a front coil spring go on the car they brought me home and then picked me and car up to go to local garage when it was booked in a few days later.

One of the important  points regarding Mayday it that in addition to standard recovery they also provide the following -   "as well as deferred recovery and even a chauffeur if the main driver is incapacitated"  In my view the second part of this is very important as my wife would not be happy towing the caravan home in the event of my incapacitation even though she is a good driver.

It may be that Green Flag also provide the above but I have not seen it spelt out clearly in the sales information.

but ISTR that 'some' were taking the proverbial by storing their caravan hundreds of miles from their home address 🤐

Agree MM saw that one ..Over the years Mayday best

You exaggerate as I think it was only 75 miles in one case 

Don't think so🤔  ... storage was Chirk and they lived down south somewhere

When my turbo intercooler went I had a choice of going back to the site I had left and the car repaired locally under warranty, being taken to The Ranch at Maybole where I had stopped on the way up and was not keen on but had booked for a stop on the way home for one night or be recovered 340 miles with the resultant saving in diesel ........ guess which I chose 

The important thing was that it was my choice. 

For me Mayday made much sense. With C&CC Relay there are offers of free C&CC membership from time to time. 

Edit: I think C&CC through RAC is actually called Arrival not Relay
