RAC Route Planner

Welcome to the RAC Route Planner – making it easy for you to plan routes, get traffic updates and calculate your mileage.

Our route finder service offers driving directions and maps for the UK, Europe and beyond. You can get live route planning, with real-time traffic updates. The Maps feature allows you to find hotels, garages and car dealerships by location or along your route. The RAC map also shows weather information for the UK, so you can plan your journey based on the driving conditions.

Using Traffic News, you can spot traffic jams by location, as well as identify issues along a planned route. We've also added a separate section called Mileage Calculator, to help you work out how much journeys cost, what you can claim back in business mileage, and information about your CO2 emissions. And if you use the myRAC app, you can also find the cheapest local fuel and save on all your journeys!

The RAC Route Planner is just one of the ways we help the nation’s drivers. We’re best known for our trusted roadside rescue service – but we’re here for more than just breakdowns!

As well as 5 Star Defaqto rated breakdown cover, you’ll find award-winning car insurance, including temporary car insurancelearner driver insurance and black box car insurance. And if you need a service or repair, our new mobile mechanics can come to you at home or work – so no more garage hassle!

We’re also here to help if you need a new car – just head to RAC Cars. And if you’re using the Route Planner to plan a trip abroad, check out our European breakdown cover, travel insurance and European travel accessories from the RAC Shop.
