Cheaper through the CC&C with a years membership......a good option if over 3.5t

 

[Silver-Fox]

I dropped the RAC been with them over 30 years they wouldn’t match or get close to Green Flag.
Covers SWMBO and myself in whatever vehicle we are in including our Moho over 3.5T.

Plus if you have 2.5 bags of sand in the account you get nearly half of your £13 back in interest.

I’m guessing that includes a three coarse meal whilst your vehicle is fixed

My RAC arrival renewal was £195 inc Europe thought was good value for a 12mtr RV

Interestingly not only did I pay RAC (through C + CC) £330 just for breakdown, although any vehicle either of us driving and in any other car

but when I renewed the insurance a month later that cost less than £330 and included an option for recovery, which I left in alongside RAC as it would only save about £60

 

[Floydster]

They must read this forum and based that price on your track record for problems @DavidG58

By haggling with them I paid much less than that and, for the complete package, including every option Europe, onward, home etc, and family membership for 4 drivers. Wasn’t even a hard haggle, just questioned it.

I did exactly the same telling them I had a cheaper quote elsewhere. They dropped the price by around 95GBP.

Will not cover everyone. From memory max length is 8.5m. Don't have access here at the moment to check but it is clearly stated in the T&C's. Would hate for someone to think they are covered and find out the hard way.

 

[The general]

RAC one of the worse call centre and customer service I have ever encountered .

I think a lot of peaple think they are covered when in fact if they actually read there terms and conditions they are not covered. When you spend what we do on our motorhomes to me another £200 is worth every penny knowing I have a service which will if anything happens get me back on the road, or to where I wanted to go in the first place, even if I am in Europe. Hope I never need to use it but if I do, it’s peace of mind.

I agree.

Speaking to them was like talking to a 4 year old child. One guy couldn't even get the spelling of my name correct, despite my spelling it out to him multiple times... the attention span of a gnat.

In the end we did buy the RAC cover through the CCC because of the long term cover they offered. I just hope that in the event of a breakdown they have a different team of call handlers manning the phones!

 

[Welsh girl]

I've just been scouring the net for breakdown cover and cc&c club came out at over 200£.
Comfort will add it for £80plus £20 admin. 365 days abroad .Nationwide works out at mote even if I paid the £13a month,I already use them for travel which I pay an extended travel cost of £90 for 3 months away .

I've used Nationewide twice for vehicles (not MoHo) and they've been very efficient both times, up here in the Highlands where breakdown recoveries are a bit scarcer than down in Englandshire.

Really.. have you been let down by them? What’s their service like in the event of a breakdown?
