Why we think you’ll love RAC Business breakdown cover
Breaking down can mean disruption to your business, and that can be costly – both in terms of money and your reputation!
RAC’s experts drive vans themselves, so they get it. And RAC Business is specially designed for people like you, who rely on their vehicles to keep their business moving.
Experts that come to you
If you break down, the RAC won’t just take you to a garage. Instead, every RAC patrol is a qualified mechanic who carries the latest diagnostic technology.
With more than 500 parts and tools, as well as a universal spare wheel, they’ll do everything they can to fix your vehicle at the roadside so you can get moving again as quickly as possible. In fact, the RAC manages to fix 4 out of 5 vehicles at the roadside in just 30 minutes on average.
Van-for-van replacement
In the unlikely event that your vehicle can’t be fixed at the roadside, you don’t need to worry. The RAC is unique in that it will provide you with a replacement van while yours is being fixed. That way, you can keep moving even when your van won’t.
When you rely on your vehicle for work, time is money. With a replacement van, you can avoid cancelling jobs while your van is out of action, saving you money and protecting your reputation.
Free online portal
As an RAC Business member, you’ll get access to the free online fleet management system, Business Club.
Whether you have just one vehicle or a whole fleet, you’ll be able to benefit from MOT and service alerts, handy reports, the RAC approved garage network and more. Plus, you’ll get exclusive member benefits and discounts.
