RAC UK Savings Tips

RAC Referral Discounts

RAC members can generate a unique referral link to refer a friend. If your friend uses the link to purchase a breakdown cover policy, both parties receive a £25 Amazon.co.uk gift card, issued via email 60 days after the policy's start date, subject to eligibility and payment conditions.

RAC Rewards Programs

rac rewards is a loyalty program available to rac members. the program delivers significant savings on motoring costs (car/van hire, tyres, services, fuel, car washes), travel and holidays (travel insurance, airport hotel and parking packages, holiday car hire, leshuttle tickets, airport parking, hotel bookings and stays), and retail and entertainment (cinema tickets, retail purchases, attraction entry tickets, memberships, and more), all accessible via the rac rewards website with a rac membership login.

RAC Newsletter Offers

There isn’t a specific discount for newsletter sign-ups. However, subscribing helps customers stay informed about future deals and offers from RAC.

RAC Return Policies

For unwanted items, return shipping and insurance costs are borne by the customer, meaning returns are not free. For faulty or damaged goods, RAC arranges free collection; however, personalised or made-to-order items cannot be returned simply because they are unwanted, so shoppers should be certain before purchasing.

RAC Free Trials

RAC UK offers a 12‑month breakdown cover at no charge for vehicles purchased from an RAC Approved or Warranty Dealer. The offer only applies after the cover is activated post‑purchase, automatically renewing unless the customer opts out, and cannot be retroactively applied during a breakdown.

RAC Teacher Discounts

RAC UK offers teachers discounted rates through the Discounts For Teachers website. Education professionals need to register for a free account to verify their status and access discounted RAC breakdown cover. To claim the discount, visit the RAC page on the Discounts For Teachers website, click "Join Free," and complete the registration process.

RAC Delivery Policies

RAC offers free standard delivery on orders over £50 (excluding home delivery batteries) and charges £3.49 for standard, £4.99 for next-day, £7.99 for battery delivery, with customised orders requiring longer delivery times. Check the homepage for promotions, as RAC member discounts and sales may provide additional savings on delivery.

RAC Price Matching Policies

RAC offers a price promise on breakdown cover. If you find a cheaper like-for-like breakdown cover quote from the AA within 7 days of purchasing RAC cover, RAC will beat the quote by 20% according to some sources. Existing customers renewing their cover are also guaranteed to pay no more than a new customer for the same level of cover.

RAC Military Discounts

Military personnel and members of the armed forces can access savings on RAC breakdown cover through the Defence Discount Service. Run by the Ministry of Defence, the service offers a percentage discount on the standard price once eligible individuals register for a small fee over a 5-year period and log into their account to obtain a unique discount code.

RAC Student Discounts

RAC offers students up to 40% off on its "Extra" breakdown cover for one person, available to those verified through Student Beans, valid until 10 am on October 1, 2025 (certain services such as Basic cover are excluded). Students purchasing UK breakdown cover with a minimum spend of £99 via Student Beans receive a £30 gift card for Ikea, Sainsbury's, or Uber Eats, valid from August 9, 2024, to midnight on June 30, 2025.

RAC Payment Methods

RAC offers upfront payment options for policies with a single lump sum using a credit or debit card (American Express is not accepted), or monthly payments through a credit agreement with Premium Credit Limited (or Close Brothers Premium Finance for van insurance policies after October 23, 2024), noting that monthly payments cost more and may affect your credit score. Support is available for financial difficulties through adjusted payment dates, partial payments, or short-term payment holidays.

RAC Healthcare Discounts

Eligible NHS, healthcare, emergency services, social care, and armed forces employees can register for the Blue Light Card on its website or app and access discounts on items like breakdown cover, offering potential cost reductions.
