Breakdown cover

[Buckman]

Green Flag are offering the same package as the Mayday cover. Although the same company you pay the same whether having a Green Flag or Mayday breakdown policy. For some another nail in the coffin for the club.

it seems we are paying the club's annual membership fee just for access to the CL network as we never use their sites or insurance as the latter is now more expensive than a normal insurance policy?

I had a look at the web site and this does not seem to be true. The Green Flag cover does have weight restrictions, although these would not affect most of us, but more importantly it does not include double recovery. The comparison is very brief but there is clearly more cover under Mayday.

Check in the FAQs section and it appears that they offer the same level of cover for caravans.

Yet in a recent thread the OP found CMHC Caravan Cover the cheapest of those that were considered. So it’s not one size fits all.

Green Flag direct and Mayday have different restrictions - Green Flag direct won't do the double cover and won't recover the caravan unless it's being towed when the car breaks down

Thanks for the clarification as forgot about that part.

On 2 of the 3 occasions I've been recovered by Mayday it was following an accident, not a breakdown - as we weren't towing at the time the car insurer would only recover the car - but Mayday recovered the car to campsite and then both car and caravan to home
