sorted byCalled out 12.30 in the afternoon, arrived 1.30am next day.

Left stranded in minus temperature on the most quietest of days & time (wednesday 10PM) & had to stay the night at a nearby friends. Eventually they turned up a 2PM the next day.
Cheap is not good with the RAC. Maybe others are better or worse.
My own experience doesn't reflect the above comments ? ( although they did "autorenew" one policy after 12 months despite me having an additonal 3 months free - then charged me again after the 3 months free was up for another 12 months - eventually sorted and refunded)
Must try one of the others when my renewal comes up in October. (edited)
Avoid this company.
I made me own way home.
I just received a reply to my complaint and been told it will be 8 weeks to investigate and not to contact them again until they come back to me.
just checked trust pilot after seeing so many people complain on here but mostly good reviews.
Can anyone recommend any other breakdown?
Switched to another big company and both times I used them only waited 20-30 mins each time.
Sold the car for cheap cheap as spares repairs and guy sold it on and told me it was just the power steering pump at a cost of £100…
Avoid!
I broke down in oxford at 8.45am and it took the AA until 7pm to get me home in Birmingham after waiting 3 hours they sent the wrong guy out, then had to wait another 2 hours for a truck that could take my vehicle and then we had to meet another guy half way at services and moved my vehicle to a different truck to continue the journey but had to wait hours for them to meet us too, was a nightmare.
Then i had a blowout last month and my van doesn't have spare wheel so had to call AA and it took them 4 hours to come out, not just rac with longvwait times and being disorganised
My wife broke down a couple of months ago and she was blocking traffic on an A road and was a lone woman and it was getting dark. She was told it will be at least 4 hours! I called aa, who we weren't with at the time, and they turned up with 20 minutes.
Having spoken to an rac mechanic he tells me they're really short staffed at the minute, and they have a bigger area to cover compared to the aa.
