Motoring index - the true cost of motoring

Find out the real cost of owning a car with the RAC Cost of Motoring Index.*

The RAC 'Cost of Motoring' Index is an in-depth piece or research produced every six months, which tracks all costs associated with owning and running 17 different models of car. This index tracks all the costs associated with owning and running a car from the initial purchase to depreciation, the cost of insurance, fuel, servicing, VAT and breakdown cover.

The index is designed to help motorists understand how much their car really costs them.
