What is Onward Travel?
Onward Travel is usually an add-on for your breakdown cover. It helps you stay mobile if your vehicle needs a repair in a garage after a breakdown. For example, you could be covered for a taxi back home from the garage. Or a hire car to help you and your family continue your journey.
At the RAC, Onward Travel is available to buy as an add-on with unlimited cover. It covers you for a hire car for up to 3 days (age and licence restrictions apply). Or if you prefer, we can arrange overnight accommodation or costs towards public transport instead.

How does Onward Travel work?
Onward Travel is there to keep you moving after a breakdown. If your patrol can’t fix you at the roadside and has to tow you to a garage for repair, you’ll get alternative transport to keep you moving, like a hire car. You can also get a hotel stay while you wait for your vehicle to be fixed
