Been fortunate not to use the breakdown but trying to get it renewed on the phone was diabolical! Tried for 2 weeks and couldn’t get through so ended up sending off the paperwork for a DD with the bank.

Hi Sheryl. Thank you for your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that you had such a frustrating experience trying to renew your Mayday breakdown cover over the phone. We understand that not being able to get through for two weeks is unacceptable, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and poor service you received.
We're glad to hear you were eventually able to renew using the paperwork for a Direct Debit, but this is certainly not the seamless process we want for our members.

Having never used The Mayday System I am fully Confident in the Product that is why I have kept up my Subscriptions over the years. It not only covers me when I am towing my Caravan I am covered 24/7 in My Car so its a Win Win for me.

It's because it is the only one I know that will take you to your caravan site, and if your car is not ready for use will get you home after your holiday.

Great product , been fortunate not having to call them out , renewed policy eventually as wouldn’t do on app , also when I eventually got through he said that he was to busy to renew policies at the moment and would call me back which never happened ! I called again and got through to a lovely lady who helped out no problem . Thanks

Hiya, Thank you for your review. We appreciate you highlighting both what we are getting right and where we need to improve. We're thrilled you're happy with the product itself and have chosen to stay with us. We were very concerned to read about the frustrating process you went through to renew.

I have been fortunate not to have had to use the recovery service for many years. The times I used it in the past I was highly satisfied with the service I received. The times I have renewed or had to enquire at the call centre, the service has always been excellent.

Miles ahead of any other rescue/breakdown/recovery service I have ever used! I trust Mayday/Green Flag before any other services - their pricing is fair and transparent, they always respond promptly when called and have never left me stranded or waiting more than one hour. On the occasions I have needed to use recovery, the driver that comes to collect you takes you the whole way in a single journey - no messing about with relay. I cannot imagine ever changing to any other service provider.

Whilst (fortunately) we have not needed to use this service, the reassurance that it gives helps to make us feel safer. It was very easy to arrange on line and the price has stayed the same as last year.

Truly shocking service ! Mayday just use the nearest breakdown company ! Broke down twice and the absolute hassle and time to get home was really a real eye opener ! First time I needed help it took 5 hours to be rescued and get home 110 miles away as the driver didn’t have the correct kit to hook up to caravan and had to wait for an hour for another driver to fetch said equipment ! Second time, bearing in mind it was New Year’s Eve, a Birmingham based company turned up, hooked up and blew the alko system on the caravan so the brakes stuck on, blew the electrics on his truck and had to be rescued by another driver. We had two dogs, one a very nervous rescue stuffy and a 12 month old pup, they had to stay in the car on the back of the trailer because they wouldn’t have them in the cab, company policy they say ! So you can imagine the stress for them and us !? The breakdown truck couldn’t be fixed at the depot and the driver who rescued the first rescue driver was going to a New Year’s Eve party and would take us home, so we were told the caravan was to be left in their compound in Birmingham and we were given a hire car to go home in, so hurriedly had to load essentials from caravan to car. Caravan was delivered next day, their engineer fixed the alko but when I come to use the caravan 6 weeks later I found one of the tyres had been flat spotted and had to buy a new tyre at £50 ! So from breaking down at approx 1600 hrs to getting home without caravan at gone 0100 hrs on New Year’s Eve is something you don’t forget !!!!! Is Mayday a good service to use !? It gets you home, eventually but my god, it’s stressful ! Would I recommend them, well, yes because you eventually get home and there are lots of horror stories on YouTube about other breakdown recovery services that are just ans bad or even worse !!! We all need breakdown cover, but don’t ever think that it’s all plain sailing because I’m sure I can guarantee they’re all the same !!! I could go onto more detail but I doubt this will ever be posted publicly anyway ! Happy caravaning guys.

If you tow a caravan for your holidays, Mayday is a must have, I recently had an incident with my towing vehicle while away from home, Mayday arranged for a recovery back to my holiday site, then a few days later a recovery for my car and caravan back to my home to my home

Ok but it took nearly a week to return our car and caravan, we were loaned a rathe tatty and dirty little Hyundai. It has to be said it was not Mayday's own lorry that picked us up.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent Mayday experience. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
While we're glad to hear that the service was "ok," we are sorry to learn about the delay in returning your car and caravan, and that the loaned vehicle was not up to standard. We u
nderstand how frustrating this must have been. We work with a network of trusted recovery partners, and while they generally provide excellent service, we regret that this occasion fell short of our usual expectations.
