One of the supervisers rang me back, was all apologetic and "what can we do".

So I asked her why the Caravan Club can do without passign the cost on.

"They're a much bigger organisation and can absorb the cost easier".

Eh ? I was always of the opinion the C&CC was the larger club - they're always boasting that they 'sell' more monthly magazines anyway.

We have nearly always booked direct ourselves and have never found that the clubs could beat our prices. It also gives us the fredom to do what we want if we change our minda while in France.

One year only did we book through the Caravan Club, never again, we wanted to move stes when we were there but could not, we wanted to come back by a diferent route but again no help from the club and a very bad attitude towards us.

When we come back we checked all the prices and found out we could have saved money doing the same trip the way we normaly arange things, we just thought it would save a bit of effort.

We are now members of the C&CC but still book our holidays by our way.

We wont be booking through them again! we were just a bit chicken as it is our first trip, but after looking round we could have got it loads cheaper, specially with the camping cheques and so on, it is still low season when we are going in June, and Like you say you can get it cheaper on the internet!

Also I think its well out of order once you have paid your balance, you have done your deal! it would be like going shopping, paying, then being told the prices have gone up, you have to pay, and cant get a refund!

We probably wont renew our membership either, been members for 4 yrs now, but hardly ever go to one of their sites, there's just too much choice else where!

Greetings All,

I too have looked at Brittany Ferries Terms and Conditions.

It states that they cannot impose an increase if you have already paid in full for the trip.

Can anyone out there tell me whether, on paying for their trip, (usually 45 days in advance of the actual journey) they have been charged an increase.

I've already booked for the back end of the year and am considering paying up front now before they hike the price up.

Thank you in advance.

We paid our ferry on 25th April and were not charged an increase.
