RAC Breakdown Cover

With our AA Price Promise you’ll always pay less if you find it cheaper, we’ll beat it by 20%^.

  • Cheaper than AA Price Promise or we’ll beat it by 20%^
  • We get to most breakdowns in 60 mins or less
  • Our patrols fix 4/5 breakdowns on the spot

Vehicle breakdown cover is typically our most affordable level of cover and provides protection for the vehicle, rather than the driver. This type of breakdown cover is ideal for:

  • If you only travel frequently in one vehicle – this can be more cost-effective than other levels of cover
  • If you’re part of a family or household that shares one vehicle between multiple people

Personal breakdown cover protects a named person instead of a specific car. The policy holder is covered if the car they’re driving breaks down but also if they’re a passenger in another car, driven by someone else. This type of policy is perfect for:

  • People who regularly drive more than one vehicle
  • People that frequently travel as passengers in someone else’s vehicle

Deals on family breakdown cover

Family breakdown cover is a cost-effective way to cover multiple people you live with on a single policy. Depending on the level of cover you choose, it may be cheaper to choose our family breakdown cover, which covers up to 5 people in one household.

  • FREE Key Replace for all – worth £421
  • 2 x FREE car health checks on Standard, Extra and Complete cover – worth £20 each2
  • 2 x FREE MOTs with Complete cover – worth up to £55 each

Alternatively, you can also cover multiple vehicles on one policy if you choose vehicle cover. This means each vehicle is covered no matter who is driving when it breaks down. You can cover up to 3 vehicles registered to the same address.
