Thanks minicamper - I've edited my post a bit to change the emphasis! I just thought they must offer something as a benefit - otherwise why would people still continue their membership.

Thanks to you Val, we will be changing to the Caravan Club when our current membership expires. Hearing that even the rallies are being marketed at rip off prices is the last straw. You always seem to get a good deal on BF too, which would be worth looking at for us now we are in the West Country. The savings with the C&CC have not been worth worrying about on the Western crossings, 5% on LD lines when you are only paying £100 or so for a short break, we would rather book direct and be able to do our own amendments if necessary. No deals at all with DFDS.

There are some advantages to being in the C&CC - for us it was being able to use their CL's (or CS's as I think they call them) in the UK. They often had them in areas the CC didn't, and vice versa of course. There was a very useful one in West Moors, Dorset and we used it a lot when my mother-in-law lived there. Now she's moved elsewhere we no longer need it and have cancelled membership, but it served its purpose at the time. But for foreign travel we always make our own arrangements.

For ferry crossings it pays to trawl the web, looking at the ferry company sites then checking the C and CC prices. Except for using Tesco points for the tunnel or DFDS caravan show discounts we invariably find that as members of the club we can get a cheaper price through them, typically 5% below the published price on the ferr company website. It just takes a bit of patience. The one that they cannot compete with though is Newhaven Dieppe if you are over 60 and book by phone 20% discount.

Just a thought - does the CCC ferry and sites package include travel insurance at all, which may account for the price difference? Otherwise, I guess you're just paying for the convenience of the package and someone else sorting things for you. We used to book with them before we knew there was another way and that other campsites did exist!
