Hi there

Taken from the caravan club website this refers to Mayday (operated by Greenflag) Premium UK:

Premium UK covers you anywhere in the country, including your doorstep. It also feature additional benefits such as Dual Recovery, the provision of a chauffeur if the only driver is ill or injured, and free car hire as an alternative to recovery.

Hope this helps, best of luck with the operation.

Oh Di what a predicament you have hope everything goes OK with your OH...

Your question, I can't really answer, I suggest that you contact Greenflag direct and ask them.

Mayday, the CC scheme, although operated by Greenflag has exclusive benefits that Greenflag do not have, so the post above will possibly not apply.

If you do have problems please tell us as I'm sure there is someone on here who would be able to get your caravan home for you.

Many thanks for your replies..OH hasnt had operation yet because he now has high temp and they suspect he may have chest infection so now he has got to have chest xray and more blood tests before they will operate.I dont want to worry him about things at the moment hes already worried about the op..and hes not quite with it as they giving him morphine every couple hours. I think its Mayday cover we have because we joined at the CC National Rally, I will call tomorrow and find out. Nice to have support from UKCS members. Di.

Best wishes to you both and hope for a speedy recovery (in both terms).

I can confirm that Green Flag will do a return, my mate is one of their driving team - does this sort of thing quite often.

If you are really stuck - I'm prepared to bet there are many forum persons who would help out in an emergency, so keep us in touch.

hope your hubby gets his op soon and recovers well,if we lived near you it wouldnt have been a problem to tow you back to your home ,dont worry though it will all work out either green flag or some kind caravanner will help you out,the caravan community are by and large a great bunch and help each other out regardless,will keep everything crossed for a stress free result ,hugs to the OH for speedy recovery take care and keep your chin up you are not alone

Hi all,things looking better now, OH had his op yesterday afternoon and hes doing fine. Called Green Flag/Mayday today and we are fully covered,we only have to get Doctors note saying OH is unfit to drive and they will send us a chauffeur to take us home. Everybody has been so kind, Margret who's CL we were on at the time of the accident (Little Stubbins B&B & CL Site Garstang) has let us stay and has been very suportive, also a fellow caravanner on site offered to take van if we were stuck. Thanks to everyone.

Well we got home at last,no chauffeur though, Green Flag wanted us to take train home and recovery truck to take car and van,not very good for OH, he had only walked a few steps with crutches before discharge..I had to drive home while they towed van..70 and more on motorway van swaying all over the place..feel complaint coming on. lol. Well I have been thinking about having a go at towing because OH is out of action now for a couple of months and we will be stuck for getting out and about only problem is never towed before, passed my test after 97 and its a 26 foot twin axle,weight over 3500..but oh well,get the L plates out and give it a go.

If you passed your test after 1997, you can't tow that at all.
