For caravanners and motorhomers one of the most important things is to make sure the service you are paying for will recover the size of vehicle. The service offfered by both Clubs will do this. But if you don't want to be involved with the RAC best to stay away from the C&CC offer!!! As CY has said the Caravan Club Mayday service will cover you and its run by Green Flag.

We have always been really pleased with Mayday cover through the Club.  Certainly as a caravanner it gives complete peace of mind, in my view.  We like the double cover option and the fact that with our specific policy, we are covered in any car as a driver or passenger.

We use Mayday and have been pleased with their service on both the occasions that it was needed.

In my opipnion the CC Mayday service is by far the best for caravanners. I have had to use them a number of times over the years and they have always been very prompt and efficient. The double journey cover is invaluable as you don't lose your holiday if you break down on your way there. On one occasion (before mobile phones) in the early hours of the morning, by the time I had walked back from the nearest telephone box the truck was pulling up behind the car. He then proceeded to take me home, kept the car overnight at his garage and then took it to my choice of repairer the following morning. That's what I call service.

Green Flag has the advantage of not only making the orignal recovery when you break down but also taking you home at the end of your trip if it has not been possible to repair your vehicle. Additionally you can have a second vehicle covered at reduced cost making it the best in my opinion.
