“I was falsely given assurances on sign up that cover would include recovery to home even if it was further than 10miles by paying a surcharge. The patrolman told me that wasn’t the case and moved my vehicle to a safe location 5miles in the wrong direction from my home. I submitted a complaint 5weeks ago and despite my repeated calls they have not yet reviewed my case (listened to the call I made). When I call I’m told I’m a priority and the manager is aware. They have never contacted me it has always been me that has called. I feel like they are not going to do anything at all but fob me off. I feel like I have been duped by them. They took my money under false pretences and have no intentions of returning it. There should be a way of leaving no stars because they don’t deserve any. Shame on you RAC.”

“Left stranded a service station for 7 hours. Given taxi to local holiday Inn... taxi 90 minutes late.. 3 hours sleep. Rac contract patrol had picked up vehicle and was en route. Contacted RAC only to wait a further 4 hours. Told they would provide a rental car. 15 hours later still stranded in Premier Inn with 3 hours sleep in 2 days.. safe to drive? No but told more waiting. No car available for another 5 hours... that will be 20hours stranded... RAC... Really Are Clowns..... AA I think”

“Can't even move a car from A to B Asked for my Car to be moved on Tuesday from my Home to a specialist Garage. By Friday it's Halfway! Been offloaded 3 times, now sat in a car park with no one at the RAC able to sort it out. They're so under resourced. Try to make a complaint and they're not taking calls. Emails take weeks to respond to.”

“We were on holiday in swansea visiting family when our car broke down on Friday 😟 luckily we had rac, we contacted them and they were very busy but took approx 4 hours to get to us, we wasn't stuck on a roadside we were in a family members home as car broke down outside there luckily so can only say what we experienced. So Jordan arrived, lovely guy he had just moved back to swansea from Tenby really tried to get the car going was extremely friendly and went out of his way to get it working sadly to no avail, had to go to garage as starter motor had gone. All in all our first encounter using rac was a good one, they kept you informed at all times how long they were going to be and they try there best to get you going. I would recommend them .”

“In the past 3 years The RAC have auto renewed my policy without sending a email stating the renewal price. They swear blind they have but they haven't. This is on 2 policies with 2 different email addresses. Phoned them to say I have had enough and cancelled. Charged me £25 cancellation fee. Receive every bit of advertising from them, but no renewal notice. Absolute scammers. Avoid.”

“One of the worse company for breakdown cover. I phoned them to secure me due to car breakdown and I was told why are you driving this time (11pm)? Wait time was over 4 hours. I phoned them this week to cancel my renewal which was day after renewal date and they charged me £25 for cancellation. One of the worst customer service ever you get from this company, moving to AA now.”

“Worst breakdown cover in UK. I have been let down by RAC several times.”

“The RAC failed to respond to a breakdown for 16 hours and 22 minutes. Their communication with me included multiple lies which resulted in me staying with my car from 7pm-1am and then getting a taxi home. I was then required to chase them at 5am for delivery of my vehicle home which also did not happen. This resulted in me having 2-3 hours sleep only, meant that I could not work the following day and then ruined my weekend away as I was still catching up with lost sleep. I tried to address this with the RAC but they refused to escalate my complaint to their management team or to compensate me for this appalling service and loss of earnings. I also received a parking ticket which they stated they would resolve and did not which meant I had to spend more of my time resolving.”

“Car broke down 9pm on Sunday evening on dual carriage by Bangor North Wales, clutch gone, RAC left me a 51 year old woman with disabilities on my own on side of dual carriageway throughout the night in the cold, dark, rain and I had no coat, drink or food. I rang 9pm took 30 mins to speak to a person who said to get out of car and go behind crash barrier and wait (there's was a 6ft chain fence on other side so was stuck between crash barrier and fence so nowhere to sit safely) told I'd get updates via phone, first said wait will be up to 240 mins which was enough of a joke, 2nd said another extra 30 mins delay, I rang several times couldn't always get through, when I did at at 11pm, 1am, 2am they said they were getting someone out to me, 1am was told priority team would ring me back straight away, I was crying and feeling very vulnerable and terrified and unwell & they knew that as I kept telling them but made no difference, they didn't call back straight away I rang back over hour later to be told the same, they rang 3 hours 15 mins later at 5.15am they told me it wouldn't be until 7.30am before they could get to me, I was beyond traumatised by then and asked why I couldn't go home and they pick my car up, to which they eventually agreed. I left at 6am so was there 9 hours and throughout the night on my own which was terrifying. Thought that was bad enough until recovery truck rang at 7.15 am and told me they knew they couldn't come out and job was offered to a partner agency before midnight who refused it, so they knew no one was coming out until the next morning at 7am shift, so they left me there all night knowing that, anything could have happened to me!! they could have sent me home in a taxi or asked me if someone could come get instead of robbing me off thinking they were coming!!! They also sent wrong truck out so didn't pick it up until 10am and took to a local garage near me, who turned out couldn't do the job and the RAC then refused to move it to another garage as where it was taken to wasn't one of their recommended garages, had I known that is have asked for a recommended garage! They refused to move it unless I paid the extra ridiculous cost even after the appalling service they provided!!! No, they're not getting any more money out of me. Beyond appalling service, disgusting, and when I tried to complain was fobbed off with several numbers I kept ringing to be eventually told there's no number to call to speak to a real person in customer services about my complaint or if someone could override charging me to move my car, it can only be done via email, unbelievable!!! If I could put zero stars I would, no actually is give you minus if possible!!! Worst customer service ever and I am going to put complain in and report to ombudsmen.”

“We unfortunately broke down on Sunday 14th August, we managed to pull over in a service station on the A40 northbound. After a five hour wait (apparently the rac man went to the wrong service station) another RAC driver Gary 3177 who had just completed another job came over to see if we ok. He called our insurers again and within 1 hour an engineer was on site, Gary remained with us and then took us on part 1 of our pick up journey as far as he could take us within his boundaries, he gave us a list of garages local to our holiday destination and set up the next pick up truck to take us to our destination. Gary 3177 certainly went above and beyond in his customer service. A huge thank you and well done goes out to him.”

“I am absolutely disappointed with RAC Warranty for the poor service they provided me with. I have been paying £260 for gold parts and labour warranty ever since i bought my Toyota Verso and i required a replacement for driveshaft which snapped. My warranty policy covered these components and therefore i had to get the diagnostics done from the local garage (which took 3 days). My warranty claim was declined due to corrosion which is a blatant lie and poor excuse. Therefore, an independent assessment was also carried out too which still declined. Despite my financial contribution, my warranty came of no use and i feel like RAC warranty are just greedy thieves just trying to grab money and offer false promises to hard working individuals who remain honest. I hope RAC warranty closes down very soon because i have recommended all my friends and families to stay away from these criminals. I have cancelled my direct debit and sincerely hope that RAC warranty will realise how much they have made people suffer.”

“On Wednesday the 3rd August we broke down on side of A1 near Berwick upon tweed at 4.45 . Call RAC after one hour a patrol man rang to and he said we were to big for him to recover (an evoque )so he would organise a recovery ,by 10 I still was wait so got put though to their Specialist team , my wife has MS and was having problems , at 11.30 a taxi turned up for her to take her to safety . I waited with vehicle and at 1.30 am a man with a trailer turned up saying he had only been given job an hour before , so I was left at road side for over 9 hours most of it with my disabled wife . Absolutely disgusting”

“Left for 30 hours without being recovered. Ended up getting a garage to come out to us so the repairs could be done. Only given 1 star because that’s the lowest and you can’t give a “0”. Avoid.”

“I am not a member. On 12.06.2022 my car got broken and I had to call RAC recovery car. I paid by card during the conversation and I didn't received any bill/breakdown raport. Since 16th of June I have been sending emails with requests but without response. Since 12th of July I started calling. I was promised twice that in next 10-15 minutes I will receive what I am begging for but, again, I have nothing. Yesterday, 15th of August I had another conversation with customer service and with tons of "sorry's" I've been promised again that my problem WILL be sorted ASAP. Nothing happened again. I have big one question. Is sending breakdown report to much to do for RAC customer service or customer service completely don't care about customers?”

“Atrocious! 23 long hours waiting for recovery with my 4 year old twins in the vehicle. Taxi’s dispatched from closed depo’s! Allocated recovery vehicles diverted, stood down and cancelled off my job! Assigned drivers then needing 2 hour Taco breaks! Absolutely no explanation. No offer of compensation. A half hearted apology from a nicely air conditioned office where the operator was sat safely and away from danger! My car broke down at 3.30pm on Saturday and myself and my children didn’t get back home until 2.30pm on Sunday! Never experienced such a catalogue of errors in all my life! Complete embarrassment and utter disgrace!”
