On a recent holiday to a caravan club site the lease car I drive broke down.Not a problem i thought and called the breakdown services who duly towed the vehicle to a local garage several miles away.I then phoned the lease company for a replacement to be told it wasnt their policy to deliver a car to a caravan site.Even after i explained to them this was the most recognised club in the UK which i was a member of and the fact i was already looking after one of their vehicles and had been doing for years happily driving around in caravan sites with no problem they refused and reiterated it wasnt company policy.Has anyone else encounted a problem like this as im still puzzled as to why.I unfortionatly had to pick it up from a hotel car park which was bizzare as i wasnt staying there and as it took them an hour longer to deliver it i was subject to survalence from the hotel manager who wondered why i was sat around in his car park .It made me feel like a criminal.To add insult to injury i then opened my copy of the club magazine to see the same lease company advertising their services in on a full page spread!!!!

Didn't you post a nearly identical story on 26 July .... only that time it concerned delivery of  a hire car?

You seem to be very unlucky.

He never 'said' which hire company!

That wasn't on the other club site was it? I must have missed it.

No, it was this one. You can track it through his profile.

Perhaps the car leasing company (isn't that much the same as a car hire company)  'discriminate' and say they won't deliver to Caravan Sites in order to avoid having to hire cars to the travelling fraternity?

The OP's other post was in 'Your Stories' where it won't get anything like the number of viewings as it does on here - so I don't see any reason for criticism.  

I regularly post the same things on different forums, or even 'reminders' on the same forum occasionally if I think the original post didn't attract the attention of those it was intended to reach.

That point was also made in the other thread, Valda.

I imagine the OP posted again because his original, in Your Stories, now comes up with an error message so can't be read.
