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!!!!

It's not exactly the same issue, Valda. I never read stories and can remember the previous thread and several posts. There's no trace of it now though which is strange. Ah well, such is life.

 A leased car is not the same as what is usually thought of as a hired car.    Hired cars are usually short term arrangements.

Often company cars are leased, and self empoyed and others can now also lease a car rather than buying one.

Have to say I find some of the replies bewildering.I was just asking if anyone knew why it happened to me .im not wanting to name names but yes it was a lease company not a hire company and i made it clear to them I was already in possession of one of their cars already with all the id associated with it.if I have put it on the wrong site then shoot me.i had a nightmare trying to post the last report

IanH - there are many posts on this forum which question the policies of the Caravan Club. And members make their points both for and against. All OK if made within within the Community Guidelines.

If you feel anyone is being "shouted down" - please contact the Community Manager to let her know of your concerns.

Cheers

Write your comments here...Strangely enough, the same thing has been said by individual posters many times before.

Hi Kennine

Perhaps you could supply the Community Manager with evidence from the "many times" you have noticed such comments and activity - to help her investigate?

In the meantime, can I suggest this discussion is allowed to proceed on-topic?

Cheers
