With more than eight million members
the RAC is one of the UK’s most
progressive motoring organisations,
providing services for both private and
business drivers.
In its role as the motorist’s champion
the RAC campaigns to support the
interests of its members and UK
motorists at a national level, including
advancing levels of road safety,
supporting the needs of young drivers
and voicing concerns about the
increasing cost of motoring.
The RAC is committed to making
motoring easier, safer, more affordable
and more enjoyable for drivers and
other road users. Many of the
organisation’s products and services
aim to do just that: the RAC Cars
website allows anyone to sell their
car free of charge, the RAC Vehicle
Check gives would-be buyers valuable
insight into a vehicle’s past and RAC
telematics helps make insuring a car
more affordable for young drivers.
As the UK’s oldest motoring
organisation the RAC continues
to be at the forefront of innovation,
driven by its vision to be the
motorist’s champion and the one-
stop-shop for all motoring needs.
