RACNewest Review: ... tensions somewhat. Couple are driving in a scenic landscape when they break down, a woman rings RAC on her Mobile, and they're rescued in about an hour and home for supper. No-one got wet. Becoming a member of the RAC is joyously easy. Go over to www.rac.co.uk, or simply stop at any motorway service station, day or night, and speak to the man outside. Not the one smoking. The one with the clipboard in orange. The most challenging thing about the membership is deciding what sort of member you want to be. There are five different levels of social status when you're stranded on a moorland, starting with 'Roadside' where they'll come to try ... more |

There was a story told by older boys when I was a younger boy about The Snake Pass, or to give it a more exciting moniker, the A57, which was a road that left from our village on the Cheshire/Derbyshire borders and took you over the moors of the High and Dark Peaks and over into the mysterious world they called "Meadowhall." Hold a torch under your chin and join in. A Husband and Wife were driving at night time on the Snakes Pass, through mist and low cloud. Their car breaks down, and steam pours from under the bonnet, so the dutiful husband tells his wife to stay in the car, and lock the doors whilst he headed off into the pitch darkness ...

I had previously been a member of Green Flag breakdown but found them terrible so for quite a while now I have stuck with RAC car breakdown cover. One of the main reasons for this is the personal family cover they offer where up to 4 members of your household are covered under the same policy and they are covered in any car they travel in. This gave me and my family peace of mind and the comparable cover at the AA was more expensive. Luckily I have only had to call out RAC once to take my car after it had been hit by some idiot going through a red light (thankfully no one was hurt but the car could not be driven). It did however take them quite a while at ... Read the complete review

Three years ago when I passed my driving test my step-dad kindly got me RAC membership. He had been a customer with them for a few years and when he rang up to get my policy he asked them what it would provide. They said that if I broke down as a lone female I was in their priority list and therefore they would aim to get to me within fifteen minutes. Sounded great so we went ahead with it. Didn't have to use them for a few months and then went to my friend's 18th birthday party and was the 'dessy-driver' no alchopops for me! After the party 4 of my friend's friends who I didn't know that well climbed into my car for a lift home. Shortly down the road, I ... Read the complete review

I have been a member of the RAC for several years now and fortunately have never had to use them, that was until yesterday when after going shopping i returned to my car turned the key and yes youv'e got it the car didn't start. Being a person with limited car knowledge i went back into the supermarket and asked at customer services if they had jump leads and someone who could help. A kind security guard offered me the use of his battery and then followed me to my car where i turned the key and he quickly informed me that it's not the battery thats dead as things are turning in the engine but it sounds like nothing is firing. so i waved him farewell and relieved that i ...
