RAC Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

hi Having been with the rac under the response blue badge member ship for the last 13 years you would think I would have had many break downs well wrong.. but in June this year 2009 we got another car a fiat punto bought from mexborough south Yorkshire the car had a 12 month mot dated June the 9th until 2010 and it looked ok it had done 2 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

There are quite a few breakdown companies out there, and choosing the right one can be difficult. All companies seem to have mixed reviews with some having happy customers, other's feeling disgruntled with the service recieved. I've only been driving a year and choosing my first ever breakdown service company was a bit tricky. Admittedly being ...  Read the complete review

Oh dear, another candidate for a zero star rating...if only there was one. Back in 2007, I'd been an RAC member for several years - paying the highest level of cover, because i travel far and often for work and needed to know that any problems with my car could be sorted, or at least i'd be got home. During the whole time i was with the ...  Read the complete review

When I purchased my first car upon turning 17 I received 3 years free RAC cover with the deal. Fantastic. Fast forward 5 years and I have only ever used their service once, something I would consider to be a good thing. However, my one single experience was a very positive one and I am now with them as a loyal member in my new car also. ...  Read the complete review

I had (I have now cancelled) the RAC maximum cover as I have several classic cars and travel through Europe a lot, over £250 a year. This is not the first issue I have had with them but it will be the last. I had a major engine failure and despite informing them where the car needed to be taken when they finally arrived 2 hrs later in a patrol ...  Read the complete review

I thought I would give some information regarding the car checks that can be bought from the RAC. In the current economic climate it is surprising how used car sales are still relatively popular but consumers must now make absolutely certain that they are not buying a wreck. The RAC offer a range of vehicle inspections that cater for all ...  Read the complete review

I switched to the RAC from the AA about a year ago. I paid around £50 for my first year of membership, and they've offered a renewal price of £36.80. However, looking at their website, i can join as a new customer for £34 - and by using a cashback website i can get £21 cashback, making the annual membership cost £12. The fact i am due ...  Read the complete review

As I do a hell of a lot of travelling I have always been a member of the AA (not alcoholics anonymous I may add) but after a few times being less than impressed with them I decided to change roadside breakdown companies and move to the RAC, I got a free introductory offer to them which was basically 6 months free cover then I took a year's cover ...  Read the complete review

I have just read a few negative reviews regarding this particular breakdown service and I feel I have to defend the boys and girls in the orange vans as I have nothing but praise for them. I have had to use the RAC a few times... mainly when I had to drive a Vauxhall Vectra for a short time... Every one knows what the RAC are ...  Read the complete review

I wanna tell you a story about the RAC................. I'm at work, miles away, partner and children on school holidays, lunchtime, bored so decide to visit shop on local industrial estate approximately 8 miles from home. They arrive, duly shop etc and return to car to come home. Upon pulling away, partner and children hear a thud from ...  Read the complete review

I'm one of those people who get in with a company and tend to stick with their service (providing they do things right!). RAC are a great example of a company that do things right, the only negative, I'll touch on later. I first learnt to drive with their partner company BSM. When I passed my driving test, they gave me a ...  Read the complete review

I have had to call the RAC out twice in the last week. Both times, the level of service and information has been exceptional, particularly the most recent call out. Both call's were to do with a battery on the way out, and on the 2nd call out it was decided that the battery needed replacing. The RAC man phoned the local battery outlets to find one ...  Read the complete review

Last summer me and my other half decided to take the kids down to Blackpool. Its a long drive and on our way home something from the road flew up from the road and ruined the gearbox. We hadn't bothered with breakdown cover as my other half can do all the work himself but at 1am with no tools and a long way from home it was a different story. To ...  Read the complete review

I must start by saying that I'm normally a failry easy going sort of fella but RAC Windscreens of Grantham have me FUMING! 2 months ago I had a crack in the windscreen of my 1 week old black Audi A6 (brand new car - pride and joy - you know every inch of it, right??). My insurers told me to take it into RAC Windscreens in Grantham for a ...  Read the complete review

The RAC – a motoring institution, and one I have had a good deal of experience with, despite my tender age, and the fact I've only been driving for five years. Of necessity, this is a lengthy review. This is largely a review of the RAC's breakdown service, including: Introduction Calling the RAC – the mechanics of ...  Read the complete review

About a year or so ago, I went through a very unfortunate time with my car. Within the space of four months it was broken into, vandalised and then finally hit by a drunk driver and would you believe all in the same place, right outside my front room window. When the glass was smashed out all down one side, it was quite late at night ...  Read the complete review
