Frequently Asked Questions
With vehicle based cover, the vehicle is covered, it doesn’t matter who is driving or towing. With personal based cover, you are covered as the passenger or driver in any eligible vehicle.
Yes, provided you’ve got personal based cover.
Our conventional RAC UK Breakdown Cover doesn't cover large caravans and motorhomes that exceed 3.5 tonnes, 6.4 metres long including tow bar and 2.55 metres wide.
Most breakdown providers have these restrictions, you may want to check your terms and conditions, along with your vehicle size and weight, to ensure your cover is valid.
Additionally when you are towing, RAC conventional breakdown cover will not recover you if the fault is with your caravan, only if the fault is with your towing vehicle.
With Arrival we offer additional cover which is not included in our conventional UK breakdown cover:
- Arrival Follow-on: We’ll tow your caravan or trailer to a second location following recovery of your vehicle, up to 75 miles.
- Arrival Return: If you’re travelling to a campsite and your vehicle breaks down, if the trip is 2 days or more, we’ll recover the vehicle onward to your campsite, and if the vehicle cannot be repaired before you’re due to leave, we’ll recover you, your passengers, and vehicle (including your caravan or trailer) back home.
- Assistance if you’ve topped up with the wrong fuel. With Arrival we’ll drain & flush your vehicles fuel system and top it up with the correct fuel.
- The cost of specialist equipment to recover your vehicle. Arrival covers the cost of specialist recovery vehicles or a crane, etc.
- Recovery of your vehicle and/or caravan or trailer when it’s stuck in snow, mud, flood or sand, when it’s safe to do so.
- Hire car with a tow bar – essential if your vehicle breaks down whilst you’re towing. With Arrival we’ll try to provide you with a replacement hire car with a tow bar (subject to availability).
Yes, if you only have Standard cover our Patrols will attempt to repair your vehicle at the roadside and if that’s not possible, we’ll tow both your vehicle and caravan or trailer up to 10 miles.
If you choose Advanced or Ultimate cover, whether it’s your vehicle or caravan that’s broken down, we’ll help you with recovering both. Here’s how:
- Arrival Recovery: If your vehicle breaks down we can tow to a single destination anywhere in the UK.
- Arrival Follow-on: We’ll tow your caravan or trailer to a second location following recovery of your vehicle, up to 75 miles from where we towed the vehicle.
- Arrival Return: If you’ve booked a trip for 2 days or more and your vehicle breaks down on the way, we’ll recover the vehicle to your campsite. If the vehicle cannot be repaired before you’re due to leave, we’ll recover you, your passengers, and vehicle including caravan or trailer back home.
Yes, if you choose Advanced or Ultimate cover. If you breakdown on holiday and your vehicle can’t be repaired before you return home we’ll take you, any passengers, your vehicle and your caravan back home.
Motorhome cover – there are no restrictions.
Caravan cover – there are no restrictions on the caravan, but your towing vehicle must weigh under 3.5 tonnes.
Campervan cover – the vehicle must weigh under 3.5 tonnes.
Many breakdown providers have these restrictions so be sure to check your policy so that you don’t get caught out if your vehicle breaks down. The overall size restrictions include the tow bar which can often cause vehicles to exceed the length restrictions.
