Not all breakdown providers are the same. It's not just about getting to you quickly - although with more patrols per member, an RAC patrol is rarely far away - it's about getting you going again. Our patrols fix 4 out of 5 cars there and then at the roadside - and with roadside labour and fitting included there are no nasty surprises. You can rest assured you'll have Britain's most experienced provider by your side.

Join now and you'll also get 2 months FREE* when you buy 12 months Personal based Roadside, Recovery and At Home Rescue cover. So, worry-free travel is on us this summer.

With the purchase of a 12 month personal based breakdown policy with Roadside, Recovery and At Home on annual continuous payment. Excludes European cover. Offer ends 25th September.
