So far as the C&CC goes I too will speak up for them - we save well over our annual fee using their insurance (£80+ saving),

---

Is that car insurance, caravan insurance, breadown/recovery insurance, or personal/medical insurance? 

 All those insurances I look at with the other Club are wildly expensive, but if there are such savings on insurance with C&CC then I might be tempted to join. I would welcome your advice. Thanks in advance.

I have to stick up for the club.  We don't book sites through them - don't book in advance as we've found we don't need to - even in August.  We do buy the ACSI guide from them, even though we travel in August when we can't always make use of it.  This means we can book a 'package' for our ferry crossing.  This year it saved us £200 on the on line price quoted by P&O.  Even if we can't take advantage of the ACSI reductions we can use the book as a guide.  The sites in it that we've used in the past have been very good. 

When we have been on sites during their 'ACSI' accepting period we have always had a large choice of pitches.  Can't imagine why you'd want to book - much better to have a shortlist and make sure you like the look of the site before you pitch.  I usually call our preferred site in the morning to check they have space.  The only time we've encountered full sites is in coastal areas - and then it's only been a case of calling 2 or 3 to find one with a space.

I have just called the club to check whether I can get a better ferry deal (ITX) by buying the ACSI card from them, and was given a categoric 'no'!!
I have now booked through Alan Rogers, ferry price with three cheques, in August, cheaper than the DFDS ferry only price. June ferry plus 3 cheques £12 more than DFDS ferry only price, and cheaper than the C&CC ferry only price, (using P&O, rather than DFDS I presume.)

Happy now!
