Cover to suit you

It is important to consider the type of cover you need. RAC provides personal based cover, which means you are covered as a driver or a passenger in any vehicle*. You may see other companies, like Greenflag, offering breakdown cover at a lower price, but this is often vehicle based cover only. This means you will only be covered in that vehicle, and the price may also depend on the age and type of car you drive.
