Claim on your RAC Warranty

Some RAC warranties cover hire car costs of up £50 per day for 7 days in the event of a valid claim if the Autodata or equivalent recommended repair time exceeds 8 hours.

But please check your terms and conditions to see if you’re covered.

This depends on which cover level you have. Please check your terms and conditions, in the section called ‘What the plan provides – Maintenance’.

To register a claim your repairer will need:

1. Your vehicle registration number
2. The full name, address, and postcode of the warranty holder
3. For some plans you may also need to provide the garage with the vehicle's service history.

Once your garage has inspected your vehicle, they’ll register your claim with us over the phone or online. We can approve most claims as soon as we receive this information from your garage. If your claim is more complex, we may need to see photos of damaged parts and more detailed feedback from the garage.

That depends on your warranty cover level. For example, some RAC warranties don’t cover costs likes diagnostics. Please check your terms and conditions to see what you’re covered for.

It also depends on which repairer you take your vehicle to. If you don’t take your car to an RAC Approved Garage you may also be responsible for some aspects of the parts and labour costs. Again, please check your terms and conditions for more information.

Some of our warranty plans do not cover Diagnostic costs and therefore we recommend that you refer to your warranty terms and conditions.

If the claim’s been submitted by your Selling Dealer or an RAC Approved Garage they’ll normally invoice us directly as soon as the repair has been completed.

If you’re using a Main Dealer or your own Non-RAC approved garage, they may ask you to pay for the repair costs upfront initially and then claim them back from us afterwards.

We aim to pay repair invoices 7 to 10 working days from the date we receive a valid invoice.

If you’re still eligible for an extended warranty you will receive a communication 30 days before your current plan is about to expire. This communication will provide details of the options available to you.

If you do not receive a communication, we would advise you contact your Selling Dealer to see if they’re able to offer you another warranty plan.

If you’re asked or required to pay for repairs that are covered under your warranty plan from your own funds and you wish to reclaim the cost of repairs, please ensure the repairer addresses the invoice to: “TWG IOM c/o Your Name of Your Address” so that we can arrange reimbursement.
