We will make a considered decision after 3 more UK trips before July, but at this time, if the mayhem in Dover subsides, I am thinking an autumn French holiday is on the cards. Some years ago I believe they changed underwriters and some of the conditions of insurance became stricter particularly when it came to the age of people wanting insurance,
it is/was cheaper to take RP's offering for longer trips rather than extend the annual policy. I have only once not used RP and that was to go to Morocco. The C&CC provided better cover for that country but there were still risks involved. ADAC has lots of For much of the cover that Red Pennant offers, the cover is ‘total cost’. Most members will travel to or through France as part of a Continental holiday. A breakdown on a French motorway can easily exceed the limits of cover offered by many of our competitors.
Frequently asked questions:
I have lost count of the number of Club surveys I have completed asking for a menu system for breakdown cover including the options mentioned above. I can understand all of the points made but it should come down to what members want so that our Club gives For several years we have taken the Red Pennant travel and vehicle insurance for our foreign travels. The annual cover expires in August but I needed to notify them of a change of vehicle before we whizz off to France in a couple of days.
For holidays in the EU, a UK Motor Insurance Certificate is accepted as proof of insurance if you’re required to provide it. If you’re travelling outside the EU, you’ll need to ask your insurer to issue you with a Green Card as proof. If you’re issued with a Green Card, your insurer should include reference to anything you’re towing. We weren't going to post this thread until after we had got to the end of the process, but we have just had another half hour phone call to Swinton, the name of the company who we have to talk to about complaints with the policy, having got no where with the AA who we are supposed to talk to in cases of complaints with roadside assistance. However, Mollysmummy has a point, RP could perhaps offer more of its cover as options thereby giving members more choice of what to insure and perhaps obtain cheaper cover.The one reason I take RP is because of its comprehensive nature. I sometimes only take the breakdown insurance because I already have annual medical insurance which is mainly used for other types of holidays. However, this only covers a limited period and So there we are. It's now as clear as mud. A caravan needs to be serviced as a condition of Red Pennant. Or it may not. Red Pennant is a belt and braces cover and that is reflected in its cost. It is run by The Club and we have huge experience at assisting our members through the many problems experienced. Red Pennant is not just breakdown insurance, it is holiday protection The Caravan Club Ltd, East Grinstead House, East Grinstead, West Sussex, RH19 1UA, which trades as Caravan and Motorhome Club is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for general insurance and credit activities. I remember you writing about the sad situation with your wife all those years ago. It was probably when RP was at its best. Although interesting reading through your post it seems that Brexit has also reduced your options in terms of days away? We used to enjoy our trips abroad but since we had the refusal other things, like COVID have intervened and I can't see us taking the motorhome abroad again. I think we are also reviewing our UK touring and I think if we manage to achieve what we have set out to do this year the experience will be used to decide how we proceed in future years.
Roadside assistance provided by our Red Pennant product can help you if you breakdown whilst touring abroad.
I had been a customer of Red Pennant almost continuously for 25 years and during that time had only made a few small motoring claims which were always dealt with to my satisfaction.
