My wife and I are both pensioners and hit a concealed pothole in January 2023. We were in the middle of nowhere, RAC took 5 hours to respond and then only offered to call a mobile tyre fitter who wanted to charge £240 to fit a £60 tyre! No offer to tow us home, even though we were 8 miles from home. They just didn't care. Stranded with a hole in the tyre and an even bigger hole in the pocket! Please think twice before joining the RAC, from my experience the AA is a much better bet.
