People who regularly drive more than one vehicle
People that frequently travel as passengers in someone else’s vehicle

Deals on family breakdown cover
Family breakdown cover is a cost-effective way to cover multiple people you live with on a single policy. It costs a minimum of £3 a month to add an extra person to your breakdown policy, depending on the level of cover you have.
- You can cover up to 5 people on the same policy (as long as everyone lives at the same address)
- Just select ‘personal cover’ and add the number of people you need
- Everyone will be covered as drivers or passengers in any vehicle, including cars, motorbikes and vans.
Alternatively, you can also cover multiple vehicles on one policy if you choose personal cover. This means each vehicle is covered no matter who is driving when it breaks down. You can cover up to 3 vehicles registered to the same address.
What's our cheapest breakdown cover?
The cheapest cover from the RAC starts from just £8.50 a month. For this, you’ll get our ‘Standard’ cover.
Unlike other providers, we won’t make you upgrade to be covered at home. Our ‘Standard’ cover includes both home and roadside rescue. It also includes a 10-mile tow if we can’t fix you there and then. Plus a 20-mile taxi from the garage.

FAQs
Q. Can I pay monthly for my breakdown cover?
Yes. You can pay monthly for your breakdown cover. Monthly is our most flexible option, as you pay on a monthly basis with no annual contract.
If you want a longer-term policy (i.e. one that lasts over a year), you can pay upfront for a set period of time and automatically renew when this period ends. This option tends to work out cheaper than our flexible monthly policy.
Q. What extras can I add to my breakdown cover?
- Key Replace – This covers you up to £1,500 if your car or house keys are lost, stolen or accidentally broken.
- Battery Replace – You’ll get new battery worth up to £600 if yours can't be re-charged. This can apply to 1 chosen vehicle. Just so you know, it’s not available for electric or hybrid vehicles, motorhomes, kit cards, quad bikes, or modified or imported vehicles.
- Tyre Replace – This covers you up to £150 per tyre, to replace a damaged or punctured tyre. This can apply to 1 chosen vehicle. And it’s not available for electric or hybrid vehicles, motorhomes, kit cards, quad bikes, or modified or imported vehicles.
Q. What vehicles do you cover?
We cover any vehicle, including cars, hybrids, electric vehicles, motorbikes (49cc and over), campervans and vans.
All we ask is that your vehicle is no bigger than 6.4m long and 2.55m wide, and weigh no more than 3.5 tonnes – that's roughly the size and weight or a Ford Transit long wheelbase van. It also shouldn’t be for business use.
If you need breakdown cover for your business, we also offer business breakdown cover.
Q. What happens if I break down without cover – can I take out a policy there and then?
If you break down without cover, we can still rescue you. But if you buy breakdown cover online after breaking down, we won’t be able to attend.
Just call 0330 159 8743 and we'll be happy to help.
Q. Will this policy cover me in Europe as well?
To make sure you’re covered in Europe, you’ll need to buy European breakdown cover.
