RAC Breakdown Service, UK

 

When you purchase breakdown cover from the RAC - the UK Royal Automobile Association, you're putting your faith in the most trusted name in UK motoring. However, when you purchase your RAC breakdown cover from the RAC UK website, you can also enjoy special discounts and savings, with recent offers including breakdown cover from £28, breakdown cover discounts of up to 42% off, and regular deals where you can easily save 25% off your RAC breakdown insurance. At the RAC online store you can also take advantage of free car insurance quotes, house insurance quotes, and many other RAC insurance products.

Here are just a few reasons to choose RAC breakdown cover, as opposed to AA breakdown cover:

* As the UK's largest breakdown organisation, RAC fix more breakdowns by the roadside than anyone else. * On average RAC arrive in around 40 minutes of your call. * No charge for labour at the roadside, no matter how long it takes. * No one has as many dedicated patrols in the UK than RAC.

As the UK's number 1 in roadside assistance and recovery, RAC handle one breakdown call every 9 seconds. So, that means RAC helped around 3.5 million people who have broken down in the past year. Additionally, of the RAC members who have called RAC out, 98% would recommend RAC to friends and family.

Car breakdown cover main benefits

If your car breaks down, here's what you can expect from the RAC:

* 24/7 roadside assistance * Priority service if you're in a vulnerable situation * RAC aim to arrive within 40 minutes * Speedy roadside repairs: on average RAC will fix your car in less than 30 minutes * RAC's number 1 aim is to repair your car at the roadside, rather than tow you to a garage * You won't have to pay extra for labour at the roadside
Plus you will get a fantastic range of benefits, which could help to save you the same as, or even more than, the cost of your annual RAC membership.

However, not everyone needs the same type of breakdown cover, and RAC offer a selection of breakdown plans to suit all drivers, which are outlined below.

RAC Breakdown Cover - RAC Roadside Plan Help when you have broken down more than a quarter mile from your home. If your car can't be fixed by the roadside, RAC take you and your car to the nearest garage or an alternative local destination, provided this is no further.

RAC Breakdown Service - RAC Relay Plan If, following a breakdown at the roadside, RAC can't arrange a prompt repair, RAC transport you, your car and up to seven passengers home, or to any mainland UK destination of your choice.

RAC Breakdown Repair - RAC Home Start Help when you have broken down at home or within a quarter mile of it. If RAC can't arrange a prompt repair, RAC take you and your car to the nearest garage or another local destination, provided this is no further.

RAC Breakdown Recovery - RAC Stay Mobile If you've broken down and RAC can't arrange a prompt local repair, RAC Stay Mobile provides alternative travel options. Choose from a replacement car for up to 72 hours, public transport costs or overnight accommodation.

RAC Breakdown Repair Cover RAC Breakdown Repair Cover helps cover costs for replacement parts and garage labour up to £500 (including VAT; less £25 excess) following a breakdown attended by the RAC. Garage labour alone can cost over £80 per hour. A whole year's cover costs just £67 or £85 depending on the age or mileage of your vehicle, and you can claim up to five times during that period. It can be added to your membership once you've chosen your breakdown cover options above.

So, there are more than a few good reasons to choose RAC Breakdown membership, but the special offers, such as 25% off, and RAC breakdown cover from £28, don't last forever, so we recommend that you join sooner rather than later. Also, remember, you don't need to be a new member to take advantage of these special RAC offers, they are almost always available for existing members too, when you sign up online.
