Excellent product and service

After a neighbour’s car was stolen I felt I should get some protection but I was overwhelmed by the choice and variation in prices of Faraday pouches. I felt I could rely on those sold by the RAC, I trust them implicitly and have had excellent service from them for many years. I used the helpful chatbot too before choosing. I ordered a pouch which was reasonable priced, holds my bulky bunch of keys and arrived very quickly. I’m delighted, and reassured.

Can’t supply a car battery as it’s too heavy

Ordered a car battery a couple of days ago. Received an email today stating they have cancelled my order and processed a refund as their supplier won’t supply the battery … AS IT’S TOO HEAVY !!

What a joke, you would think the RAC and their suppliers would know that car batteries are heavy.

Road Hero space saver purchase

I called RAC shop when purchasing the Road Hero space saver wheel kit to check it was the right one for my vehicle as some retailers websites didn't make this clear. They were very helpful and it arrived within 2 days. Great service.

Replacement Battery for my Ford Focus

I needed a replacement battery after the old one had given up the ghost after ten years. I submitted my details online and chose a 2pm to 5pm slot for the patrol to come to my house and put in the new battery. No one turned up which wasn't an issue for me as I was at home and didn't need the car. A girl rang me around 9 that evening to ask if the patrol had turned up. She was apologetic when she found out it hadn't and rearranged it to be fitted tomorrow morning. This was indeed what happened and the patrolman was very polite and professional. All in all a good experience but it might have been different if I needed the car the day the patrol person didn't turn up.

Easy to order

Easy to order, quick delivery and painless online experience. Fab car mats, looks really smart, well made and fit perfectly! Love the little grey trim round the edge. Great value for money too!

The ordering process was okay

The ordering process was okay, however I discovered afterwards that there was a discount if you had purchased breakdown coverage. Despite asking twice, they refused to apply the discount to my order. To me it was just a matter of making a small refund on my card.

Europe Road Trip

I have a trip across Europe looming and this was the perfect kit for multiple countries and requirements... It is packed already and just hoping I don't need it :)

The kit is okay


The kit is okay, but the gloves are too small. Please supply with larger gloves in future. The gloves are only made for women not men.

Rubbish. Do not use.

Ordered and paid for a £600+ dash cam and installation. Chose a date, all well and good. Then received an email a week later to say that the installation couldn't take place in a few days because their subcontractor was on holiday for a month. I called to ask if any other installer was available, however there wasn't one. So one person covers multiple counties, and if they're on holiday you're stuffed. Cancelled the order, was told that MY money would be refunded in 6 working days. So far I've received no notification of this.

Morning Robert, I am sorry for the issues you have experienced, as stated when booking online it is a "preferred" fitting date until confirmed by the fitter / fitting team, however even with sickness / holidays this isn't normally pushed out to long unless there is no availability for engineers in your area, which in this case is what I am guessing is the problem, I investigate with the engineers and come back to you if there is any further issues they make me aware of, as I can see you have placed another order.

Morning Laura, thanks for the feedback, I am truly sorry for the experience you have had, I have opened up an investigation with the carrier as to why the item took so long to reach you, I can see the item arrived on the 10th, if there are any further issues please come back to me. kind regards

Got my car battery replaced within a few hours of order. Very efficient process. Huge plus for RAC's team fairness in refunding partial amount of the battery paid since the battery I ordered wasn't available and they replaced it with lower price. Great one , definitely will stick around as a loyal customer.
