RAC Breakdown Cover & Insurance

Our review of RAC breakdown cover.
RAC Rescue was originally founded back in 1897, the RAC (also know as the Royal Automobile Club www.rac.co.uk) have been offering roadside assistance and recovery for over 100 years. They have a track record which few other UK breakdown recovery companies can compete with, a thorough understanding of the market and unlike many well established companies they have embraced the latest technology and shown a willingness to move with the times. As part of the massive Aviva insurance group they have the backing of a major parent company, access to the latest market data and a presence which continues to grow year by year and now stands at around 7 million members.In the world of breakdown recovery many people seem to be blinded by the cheapest offers around, when you really need to consider what is on offer for the price you are paying. You need to ask yourself exactly what you need, do you just need roadside assistance, do you need a recovery service or maybe you are looking at European cover for your trips overseas?

The breakdown recovery market is very competitive and there are some great offers available if you shop around. Whether you are looking at the more traditional breakdown recovery companies such as the AA, Green Flag or the RAC, or maybe you can find what you are looking for with one of the major insurers which include Churchill, Norwich Union or MoreThan. The choice has never been better for the consumer with strong growth in the market over the last few years as people venture further away from their local area for business and pleasure.

The internet has also brought the sector closer to potential customers allowing you to log on, check the service and prices available as well as giving you the option to acquire cover there and then. Many insurance companies offer a mix and match facility allowing you to pick and choose which options / services you require, ensuring you get a custom made service to fit your needs. Don’t be without your breakdown cover, you never know when you might need it!
