Why choose RAC?, Who are they?
Ever since their foundation in
1897, RAC has been consistently at the forefront in
developing motoring services - from introducing uniformed
patrols in 1901 and roadside emergency telephone boxes in
1912 right through to the present day. With a 1,500
branded patrol force, RAC ensures your total motoring peace
of mind to provide national coverage and rapid response
times. Their team of expert co-ordinators work around
24/7, 365 days a year to make sure all emergencies are
quickly and safely dealt with, allowing you to continue your
journey with as little disruption as possible. |

What happens if I breakdown or have
an accident?
If you breakdown or have an accident, RAC will arrange for
an approved mechanic to attend to your car without delay.
If your car cannot be repaired at the roadside, RAC will take your car to the nearest
and most suitable repairable. Depending upon your
level of cover, if it is apparent the vehicle cannot be
repaired by the end of the working day we will arrange and
pay for transportation to your home, original destination or
repairer of your choice. |
| |
But what if I am abroad and I
breakdown?
If you have paid for the continental cover then help will be
at hand. RAC's unrivalled overseas
network of agents and suppliers provide
first-class recovery and assistance services across Europe.
If your car breaks down on the Continent, they provide
roadside assistance, recovery to the nearest suitable
garage, and car hire or hotel accommodation if your car
cannot be repaired the same day. They will also
arrange repatriation of your car and passengers to the UK,
if repairs cannot be completed before the end of your trip.
