The Royal Automobile Club (RAC) was founded in 1897, and since
then the RAC has continued to work at the leading-edge of the motoring
service industry. Today’s RAC boasts six million members,
who enjoy easy access to a range of products from online journey
planners and traffic alerts to insurance, breakdown cover and even
car loans.
RAC membership isn’t necessary for customers seeking
car insurance services from the RAC, however, RAC members who opt
to take out car insurance with the RAC may be eligible for discounts
on their insurance premium. RAC members also receive from additional
benefits with their RAC insurance policies, including legal expenses
cover and free physiotherapy cover.
Benefits the RAC offer all of their insurance customers include:
up to 70% no claims discount, 24-hour claims helpline, courtesy car
options to suit your needs, physiotherapy cover options, up to 15%
discount for buying your RAC cover over the web, and a free phone
number for claims and queries.
Applying for your RAC insurance cover online can save you up to
15% off your quote – and the quoting process the RAC offer allows
you to make very specific information available in an effort to reduce
your premium. The RAC’s ‘motorquoter’ will consider
variables that many other online applications don’t. Additionally,
the RAC’s approach to optional items on your policy (such as
courtesy car cover) is unique – they add options based on your
requirements, and charge you according to what you need as opposed
to pre-defined amounts based on ‘average’ customers. This
means you really can get what you pay for in terms of optional policy
items.
Remember, the key to getting cheaper car insurance is establishing
yourself with prospective insurers as a low risk – the more
information you can provide that shows your risk is lower than average,
the lower your quote is likely to be. That is why the extra minute
or two that may be required to fill in the RAC’s online application
form is well worth the wait.
