Breakdown cover explained
What is van breakdown cover?
Van breakdown cover is there to help if your vehicle breaks down in the UK. For example, if you get a puncture or a flat battery. It means you can call for help and an expert will arrive to fix you on the spot or provide you with breakdown recovery to a nearby garage.
There are different levels of cover to choose from. Most providers only offer Roadside Assistance as standard. But at the RAC, we include Roadside & At Home, unlimited callouts and alternative transport with all our van breakdown cover options.
What types of breakdown cover are there?
You can buy breakdown cover for your van, or we also offer car breakdown cover, with cover for electric and hybrid vehicles as standard, plus taxis, minibuses and trucks. You can also choose a mix of vehicle types, with our mixed fleet cover.
We offer van specific breakdown cover because we know van drivers have different needs to the average road user.
Van Lite offers rescue anywhere with a 10-mile tow and 20-mile taxi from the garage. Van Total offers tow anywhere as well as a replacement van while yours is being fixed.
Tow & Taxi
With Van Lite if we can't fix you there and then, you'll get a 10-mile tow to the nearest garage or another destination. If your vehicle goes to the garage, we'll reimburse you for the cost of a taxi ride up to 20 miles. With Van Total we'll tow you, your passengers and your van anywhere in the UK - so you'll always get to your destination.

Answers to your questions
Our RAC Van Breakdown Cover is specialised cover for your work van. We pride ourselves on being one of the only breakdown providers to specifically offer a replacement van, if you need it, when you buy our Van Total cover. You can find our most up to date offers and pricing here.
With RAC Van Breakdown cover you cover the vehicle(s) operated by you or your business rather than the drivers. Individual drivers are not necessarily covered in all of your vehicles, only the vans which are included on your policy.
Van breakdown cover covers specific vehicles in your fleet, whether it’s your only vehicle or part of a large fleet of vans or other business vehicles. To add multiple vehicle types to your policy build your cover here.
This is any van, car derived van, pickup or motorhome that meets the size and weight restrictions in our terms and conditions - and is not used for hire and reward purposes.
