Cheap Plymouth / Roscoff available

I have no more then you of the former but I have plenty of the latter and it tells me you know no more than I. 🐭🐭😀

A single individual or even a couple of posters will not change policy, the threat of holding back/supporting a rival has no impact, what’s needed is a concerted campaign-mails to those with power, FB, Insta, et al, go for the jugular don’t tinker with paper cuts👍🏻

But it does offer a price match guarantee, so if you find a cheaper price elsewhere and can prove it the club will match it.

as others have mentioned, i don't see the fairness in ITX deals and other discounts being limited to caravans

On my quote posted yesterday the minimum saving for a MH over direct BF prices was £306. Take an ITX and the saving is £400. 

Mother routes may be more cost effective for MH but good luck with your attempt to get similar savings yourself.

Lets all face it - its not a club any more, its a limited company., and limited companies are a business that needs money to function.

As it was the Caravan Club for donkeys years, and only C&MC for the last few, Motorhomers get a smaller discount than Caravanners - simple

JUST JOKING!!!

If the boot was on the other foot, I'd be unhappy also.

There is no change in the legal status of the club. It is still 'The Caravan Club Ltd'. 'The Caravan And Motorhome Club' is merely a trading name with no status in its own right.

The company is Limited by Liability which is for protection and does not mean it has to be totally profit oriented. Obviously it needs to make a profit to roll over and invest in future acquisitions and development but it is not listed on the Stock Exchange so has no investing shareholders to pay a dividend to. 

thanks JK, not upset, nor do I want the hassle of a trailer...just don't need one.

however it would be good to understand the 'policy' although we're short enough to be cheap enough....under £150 is ok.

ill mention it next time I chat with BF directly, I'm sure it'll be 'rivetting'

Hi BB, Never had a MH so not looked for prices for one.

The page with the details on is;

https://www.caravanclub.co.uk/overseas-holidays/book-a-crossing/ferry-offers/

As I have mentioned before, and I am sure you would be doing, the best advice is to check, check and check again.

I never assume that a price I, or anyone else, has had will be repeated and I always call the travel service to see if they have a better deal/price available.

In the past price was the main criteria but as finances got easier we chose to pay more to travel from Plymouth and now we are getting a great price and travelling from Plymouth so a win win for us.

Plymouth, as you probably know, is well provided for regarding MH with lots of parking, places to eat close by and if coming back from Roscoff a very nicely positioned Aire at St Pol with a very, very good restaurant just yards away.

Hi BB, The page shows three deals where a MH goes for price of a car, so effectively same, pro rata as car/caravan, and a number of these deals are dependent on also booking a site or site vouchers so, in effect, vouchers are reducing the price.

However, if you are only considering BF routes then it is as you said a 10% discount for a MH.

Why that is I don’t know. The club is offering routes with equivalent deals for car/van and MH, but it seems not on ones that are of use to you.

Thank you all for your comments around this - I am on the Travel team and appreciate that there are some oddities around the Brittany Ferries pricing system so wanted to let you know what the current situation is.

All of the operators we work with give us special offers on both their normal retail and/or package fares, and we can't add any special discounts ourselves. As has been highlighted, Brittany Ferries give us special deals on certain French sailings; in low season caravans go free or 10% discount on motorhomes and in high season caravans get 50% discount or 10% discount on motorhomes. This may be more noticeable on the Plymouth-Roscoff route because in low season we get these special offers every day except on the outbound on Fridays & Saturdays. Outside of these offers the price for motorhomes should be cheaper than caravans.

Other ferry operators, when giving us special deals such as "caravan goes free" combine it with an offer of "motorhome goes at car rate" - whilst this can be seen as "fairer" it also isn't perfect as both outfit types travel at the same rate regardless of length of deck space used. Brittany's system simply gives us a % off the motorhome rate and I understand that their system can't be loaded as 'car rate'. 

We have asked Brittany previously if there is anything else they can do for motorhomes to make it fairer (besides reducing the caravan offer which we're reluctant to do).  We will continue discussing this with Brittany in every meeting we have with them and whilst of little consolation to the motorhomers we're confident that the Club can offer all of our members great deals with all ferry operators including Brittany Ferries, and if you're in need of a quote we're happy to look at alternative dates and/or routes in order to get you the best possible deal
