Championing drivers

Complete peace of mind, for all your driving needs

Every year, we publish our Annual Report on Motoring, a research summary on the most concerning matters for UK drivers. We use our influence to campaign at a national level on these causes. In 2024, motorists were most concerned about:

We successfully lobbied Government on the pothole debate, resulting in a record level of funding for local authorities to repair roads.

We also played a key role in the extension of the 5p fuel duty cut and in the introduction of a new law to improve fuel price competition. Through RAC Fuel Watch we campaign against retailers charging excessive margins to drive fairer prices for drivers.

Keeping our members safe

The health and safety of our members is paramount – both during a breakdown, but also every day out on the roads. We regularly publish advice on everything from new baby carseats and the school run, to understanding the impact of health conditions on your ability to drive. And we’re here whatever the weather – from freezing winter conditions to staycations and driving overseas.

Protecting your pocket

The cost of owning a vehicle is on the rise, and we do whatever we can do help our members save money. We can find you the cheapest cars to insure – particularly if you’ve just passed your test.

We also help cut the cost of running your car – from finding the cheapest fuel to driving economically and tips on car maintenance that can help avoid unnecessary repairs or fines. And if you have a minor car problem, check out our Youtube guides and have a go at fixing it yourself. If you need an expert, our Mobile Mechanics can come to you, at home or work.

Protecting our planet

The nation’s transition to EVs hinges on affordability and infrastructure. We work with FairCharge to try to make EV and EV infrastructure accessible, available and reliable. Our recommendations for targeted EV grants and an EV Public Charging Charter were recently supported by the House of Lords.
