RAC provides Breakdown Assistance and is there to help with any mechanical or electrical breakdown faults on your van. RAC are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year

In an ideal world you will not breakdown or need roadside recovery. However, if you do encounter a problem on the road and want peace of mind, that’s where RAC comes in!

What it covers

  • Cover for any driver- Breakdown assistance covers anyone who is driving the van with the policy holder’s permission, the cover extends to a caravan or trailer up to 7.6m long that you may be towing at the time.
  • UK assisted recovery- If your vehicle cannot be fixed at the roadside the RAC will take your van and up to 8 people to your destination, or back home.
  • UK roadside repairs- Whenever possible, a mechanic will fix the fault or problem on the spot. There is no charge for labour, only parts used.
  • 24/7 service- Friendly operators who are on standby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, alerting mobile units within minutes of your call.

In addition you can get either replacement van hire for up to 24 hours; onward travel by another means, or overnight accommodation while your van is being repaired.
