Why choose the RAC?

We’ve been rescuing motorists for over 128 years, so we know a thing or two about getting to breakdowns quick, and fixing them fast.

Green Flag will sometimes use a local contractor in the area instead of sending one of their C.250 vans. But if you call us, we have over 1,600 patrols ready to help you.

Plus, our fleet includes vans with EV Boost, so if your electric car runs out of juice, we can get you going again or tow you to the nearest garage.

That's not to mention all the extra cover we offer that Green Flag don't. With the RAC you can add cover for your tyres, batteries and keys. You can even get covered for driving in Europe. And if you need Onward Travel, we can cover you for up to seven days, while they'll offer you just two. So why settle for less?
