Told them that myself and husband were disabled pensioners and I was insulin dependent diabetic and we had our 6 yr old severely autistic grandson with us. Was told that it would be priority and someone would be with us by 18:30. That changed to 20:15 then to 22:30 after several calls we were very distressed . My daughter had to travel 100mile return journey to collect my grandson who by that time was extremely upset. We were told that someone would definitely be with us by 23:00 . No show, another update eta 0:30 am to 04:00 am 2nd April. My daughter had to take me to local A&E as my glucose had dropped dangerously low .Left husband with car as our insurance would have been invalid. After several escalations and empty promises The RAC eventually recovered my husband and vehicle at 15:15 today 2nd April . 23 hours. Later by side of road. They offered no explanation of how they could explain leaving 3 vulnerable people including a vulnerable child exposed on a high speed road for 23hours! I am recovering now from bad hypoglycaemia and my poor grandson is still stimming and extremely traumatised by this experience. My husband is exhausted and also lost a days wages work today and is also a recovering heart surgery patient. The RAC were told this repeatedly yet still abandoned us for 23 hour! How can anyone possibly recommend them. Can’t rate them low enough!! Read more Read less

I thought I signed up for 2 years & am still paying 4 yrs later. Got sent letters threatening legal action and massive fines because apparently I owe them £53. The operator was very blunt & just kept saying I signed the contract. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Read more Read less

Left overnight 15+ hours in my vehicle without heat, light or power. Repeatedly given expected times of attendance that did not come true. RAC tried to get me to pay them over £1000 as I was towing a trailer even though the recovery policy specifically covered it. RAC tried to get me to arrange my own recovery. Eventually walked off the A1 and found a Railway Station to escape. Read more Read less

RAC quoted mid-range tyres and was quite expensive but then mobile fitter cam and fitted budget tyres. RAC blamed mobile fitter company and vice versa. To me, the RAC who had quoted the tyres and organised the whole process by liaising with the mobile fitter should take accountability for their actions. Bisggest SCAM ever!!! Read more Read less
