RAC Breakdown cover reviews (172)

Broken down even for a flat tire.

I was driving to work one morning and my car shuddered and slowed to 5mph. I managed to get to work and the RAC came out straightaway. They were very helpful and polite and the guy did a thorough inspection of the car whilst he tried to repair the problem. He spent, what i felt was a good amount of time on the car. This is the 4th time i have had to use them and would always recommend them over others. Reviewed on: 26th March 2015
