Club not so cheap as they think

[weejohnw]

Just phoned Caravan Club for a Larne to Cairnryan return and the price they quote is for a fare that can be amended for £20. Only thing is , the fare on the P&O site can be selected as a flexi ticket for an extra tenner on the return trip which is still cheaper than the CC quotation. their promise printed on their web site is:-
We guarantee to match or beat fares offered direct from ferry operators.
Total Bo****ks.
I know, I should hold them to their promise - but could not be bothered with the hassle as when I asked about the flexi ticket, they told me the only price they had was the one quoted.

Caravan club are merely agents of the ferry company.
They book the same as you or me then charge a premium.

Personally I would book direct.

Hi Pappajohn, have just done so.

I complained, got "We are very sorry we will look into this".

That's it. As far as I know, 5 years on, they are still looking.

Think MH may take us over the baggage allowance

I got the same when they quoted MH insurance. £140 more than CaravanGuard - despite the "guarantee they can beat your renewal"
They are looking into my complaint as well - but as it's only last month and yours is 5 years ago, I don't hold out much hope.

Plus you'll get accommodation for the price of a pitch.

Make you wonder, doesn't it.

oh I dont know, we are paying 2 euro a night and 2 euro for electric in a council run Aire in Portugal, many more places you can stay for free, couldn't do that if we were to fly?
Mind you the ferry fare (Santander)makes it up, phew!!!

I do the Belfast cairnryan crossing regularly and find it just as cheap to book on line direct with stena..
the c&cc club have given me much the same price with perhaps the slight added advantage of having a flexi fare for the same price as I get the economy when booking online myself..
whatever you pay it always seems an expensive crossing and there is never usually much to choose between p&o and stena... have a loyalty type card with stena and usually get one free trip a year or so by using the points ive earned..
