What Is the RAC Referral Offer?

The RAC Refer a Friend scheme rewards an existing RAC member for introducing a new customer to RAC Breakdown Cover.

The new customer receives a £25 Amazon.co.uk Gift Card, while the existing RAC member who made the referral can also receive a £25 Amazon voucher.

To participate, the new customer must use the existing member’s unique referral link:

Claim the RAC £25 Amazon Voucher Offer

There is no separate promotional code to remember or enter. The referral is tracked through the unique link, which means you should use that link from the beginning of your RAC application.

Going directly to the standard RAC website, obtaining a separate quote or purchasing over the telephone may mean the referral is not tracked.

How to Use the RAC Referral Link

The referral process is straightforward, but it is important to follow the correct steps.

1. Open the Unique RAC Referral Link

Begin by clicking the dedicated referral link:

https://refer.rac.co.uk/hayleyd-812

This identifies your application as a referred purchase.

2. Start a New RAC Breakdown Cover Quote

Follow the instructions to begin an online quote for RAC Breakdown Cover.

You will usually need to provide information such as:

• Your name
• Your address
• Your contact details
• Your intended cover start date
• Your vehicle details, where applicable
• The type of cover you require
• The number of vehicles or people you want to protect

Your answers are used to calculate your personalised price.

3. Choose Between Vehicle, Personal or Family Cover

RAC offers several ways to structure breakdown cover.

You may be able to select:

• Vehicle-based cover
• Personal cover
• Joint personal cover
• Family cover

The most appropriate choice will depend on whether you want to protect a specific vehicle or named people travelling in eligible vehicles.

4. Select Your RAC Cover Level

Review the available cover levels and decide which package best suits how and where you drive.

Do not choose a policy purely because it has the lowest price. Consider whether you need assistance at home, nationwide recovery or help continuing your journey if your vehicle cannot be repaired.

5. Review Optional Extras

Depending on the cover and quote offered, you may be able to add extra protection for areas such as:

• Onward Travel
• European travel
• Tyre replacement
• Battery replacement
• Key replacement
• Business use

Adding optional benefits can increase the policy price. Check the exact wording, limits, exclusions and start dates before purchasing.

The referral terms specifically exclude the purchase of RAC European Breakdown Cover and RAC Business Breakdown Cover. If you are adding any European or business-related feature to an otherwise eligible UK policy, confirm the referral eligibility during the application.

6. Choose Monthly or Annual Payment

RAC allows customers to pay monthly under a 12-month contract or pay the annual cost upfront.

Your payment method affects when you satisfy the referral reward conditions:

• If you pay monthly, RAC must receive two monthly payments.
• If you pay annually, RAC must receive the full annual payment.

Paying monthly does not necessarily mean you are purchasing cover one month at a time. Check the total annual cost and contract conditions when comparing payment options.

7. Complete the Purchase Online

The RAC referral promotion is an online-only offer.

Complete your application through the referral journey and save:

• Your quote
• Your policy or membership number
• The confirmation email
• Your cover start date
• Your payment confirmation
• A copy or screenshot of the referral offer

Avoid leaving the referral journey and buying through a different website, telephone number or comparison platform if you want to qualify for the Amazon voucher.

8. Keep Your RAC Policy Active

The new customer and the referrer must both have active eligible policies when RAC checks the reward conditions.

Cancelling the policy before the reward is processed could mean that the gift card is not issued.

9. Look Out for Your Reward Email

Once the qualifying conditions are satisfied, the reward is expected to be issued approximately 60 days after the policy start date.

The reward email will be sent to the email address used to create your RAC membership. Check that you enter your email address correctly and monitor your inbox and junk folder.

10. Claim the Voucher Within 60 Days

Once you receive the reward link, you must claim the Amazon.co.uk Gift Card within 60 days.

If the claim link expires, the reward cannot be reissued under the published referral rules.

RAC Referral Rules Explained

The official RAC Refer a Friend terms set out several conditions that customers should understand.

You Must Use the Unique Referral Link

The referred customer must purchase RAC Breakdown Cover through the referrer’s unique link.

For this offer, use:

https://refer.rac.co.uk/hayleyd-812

A name or conventional promotional code is not sufficient. The unique link is what tracks the referral.

The Offer Is Online Only

You must complete the purchase online.

Joining over the telephone, through another website or through a different sales route may not qualify.

The Policy Must Be Active

Both the new customer and the person making the referral must have active RAC policies to receive their gift cards.

Payment Requirements Apply

The Amazon voucher is not issued immediately after completing the application.

RAC states that gift cards are issued 60 days after the policy start date, subject to:

• Two payments having been received for a monthly policy; or
• Full payment having been received for an annual policy.

You Must Claim the Voucher

Receiving the reward email is not necessarily the end of the process. You must follow the reward instructions and claim the voucher within 60 days.

An expired reward link cannot be reissued.

The Offer Cannot Be Used After You Have Broken Down

The referral promotion cannot be redeemed when someone is joining in what RAC describes as a non-member breakdown situation.

If your vehicle has already broken down and you are not an RAC member, you need to contact RAC for appropriate immediate assistance. Buying standard cover online after the breakdown will not provide attendance for that existing incident.

European and Business Breakdown Cover Are Excluded

The referral offer excludes purchases of:

• RAC European Breakdown Cover
• RAC Business Breakdown Cover

The offer is intended for eligible RAC Breakdown Cover purchased through the referral link.

The Gift Card Is Not a Cash Reward

The reward is a £25 Amazon.co.uk Gift Card. It cannot be exchanged through RAC for cash, another RAC product or a different reward.

Amazon’s own gift card conditions will also apply.

Personal Information Is Shared for Reward Fulfilment

RAC uses a third-party reward partner to issue the gift card. The referral terms state that RAC will share the customer’s name and contact information with that partner for the purpose of issuing the reward.

Is There an RAC Referral Code?

People frequently search for an RAC referral code, but this particular offer is activated through a unique referral link rather than a code entered at checkout.

The RAC referral link is:

https://refer.rac.co.uk/hayleyd-812

You should click the link before requesting your quote and continue through that online journey until the policy purchase is complete.

If a website asks you to enter an RAC referral code but does not direct you through the unique link, it may not be using the official tracking method required for this offer.

What Is RAC Breakdown Cover?

RAC Breakdown Cover provides assistance when an eligible vehicle experiences an unexpected mechanical or electrical problem.

If your vehicle breaks down, RAC can send a patrol or another appropriate recovery provider to your location. The attending professional will attempt to repair the vehicle at the roadside.

If the vehicle cannot be repaired there, the recovery available will depend on your selected cover level. This could include a local tow or, with an appropriate policy, recovery to another destination in the UK.

The RAC says its breakdown cover can include:

• 24/7 Roadside Assistance
• Local vehicle recovery
• National Recovery
• Assistance at your home address
• Unlimited callouts on selected packages
• Electric vehicle assistance
• Onward Travel options
• Additional tyre, battery and key protection

The exact benefits depend on the policy, package and optional extras you select.

A Brief Introduction to the RAC

The RAC is one of the UK’s best-known motoring organisations and has been supporting drivers since 1897.

Today, the RAC provides services including:

• UK breakdown cover
• European breakdown cover
• Car insurance
• Home insurance
• Vehicle servicing and repairs
• Mobile mechanics
• Vehicle inspections
• Approved garages and dealers
• Driving and traffic information
• Member rewards

For many customers, however, the RAC remains most strongly associated with its orange breakdown patrols and roadside recovery service.

How Does RAC Breakdown Cover Work?

When your vehicle develops a covered fault, you report the breakdown to RAC.

The basic process is:

1. Move to a Safe Location

If possible, move the vehicle away from moving traffic and ensure everyone is in a safe place.

On a motorway, follow the relevant safety guidance and use an emergency area or leave the carriageway where it is safe to do so.

2. Request Assistance

RAC members can request assistance using the myRAC app or RAC’s online breakdown-reporting service.

Members can also call RAC’s breakdown number.

3. RAC Sends Help

A patrol or appropriate recovery provider will be sent to your location.

If you report the incident through the myRAC app, you may be able to track the patrol’s estimated arrival.

4. Roadside Repair Is Attempted

The patrol will assess the vehicle and try to get you moving again.

5. Recovery Is Arranged if Necessary

If the vehicle cannot be repaired, RAC will arrange recovery according to the terms of your selected policy.

Basic cover may provide a local tow, while more comprehensive packages can include National Recovery or help with onward travel.

Vehicle Cover, Personal Cover and Family Cover

One of the first choices you will make is who or what should be covered.

RAC Vehicle Breakdown Cover

Vehicle cover protects a specified eligible vehicle, regardless of who is driving it.

This can be useful when:

• Several people share one car.
• You mainly travel in one vehicle.
• You want cover attached to the car rather than an individual.

RAC allows customers to add up to three vehicles to eligible vehicle cover.

RAC Personal Breakdown Cover

Personal cover protects a named person when they are driving or travelling as a passenger in an eligible vehicle.

This may be more appropriate if:

• You regularly drive different vehicles.
• You travel in other people’s cars.
• You want the cover to follow you rather than one vehicle.

Joint personal cover may also be available.

RAC Family Breakdown Cover

Family cover can protect up to five people from the same household, subject to the policy terms.

It may suit:

• Couples who drive different vehicles.
• Families with several drivers.
• Households with adult children.
• Families with children studying away from home.

Compare the price and policy conditions against separate vehicle or personal policies before deciding.

RAC Breakdown Cover Levels

RAC offers different levels of UK breakdown protection. Package names, benefits and prices can change, so check the live quote and policy documents.

Basic

RAC Basic is designed to provide essential Roadside Assistance.

It typically includes:

• 24/7 Roadside Assistance
• A limited number of callouts
• Local recovery if the vehicle cannot be repaired

Basic cover may be suitable for drivers who mainly make local journeys and want entry-level protection.

It does not offer the same level of national or home assistance as more comprehensive packages.

Standard

Standard cover adds National Recovery to Roadside Assistance.

If RAC cannot repair the vehicle, National Recovery can provide transport for the vehicle and passengers to an eligible destination in the UK, subject to the policy terms.

RAC states that National Recovery starts 24 hours after the policy begins.

Extra

Extra cover includes a broader range of benefits, which can include:

• 24/7 Roadside Assistance
• National Recovery
• Assistance at your home address
• Unlimited callouts

This could suit drivers who want protection both away from home and on their driveway.

Complete

Complete is RAC’s more comprehensive cover level.

Depending on the policy offered, it can include:

• Roadside Assistance
• National Recovery
• Home assistance
• Unlimited callouts
• Electric vehicle support
• Hire-car benefits
• Legal-expenses benefits

Always read the current policy summary and full policy booklet. Product names alone do not tell you every limit, waiting period or exclusion.

How Much Does RAC Breakdown Cover Cost?

RAC calculates the price according to factors such as:

• Your vehicle
• Your home address
• The type of cover
• The number of people or vehicles covered
• Your selected cover level
• Optional extras
• Whether you pay monthly or annually

At the time of writing, RAC advertises entry-level single-vehicle Roadside Assistance from £5.29 per month, with at least 10% of new customers paying that price. This is not a guaranteed price for every applicant.

Your referral reward does not reduce the breakdown policy premium. Instead, an eligible customer receives a separate £25 Amazon.co.uk Gift Card after satisfying the referral conditions.

Use the RAC referral link to obtain your personalised quote and review the total annual cost before purchasing.

RAC Breakdown Cover for Electric Cars

RAC offers breakdown support for electric and hybrid vehicles.

Its patrols are trained to work with electric vehicles, and selected RAC vans carry EV Boost technology. This can provide an out-of-charge electric vehicle with enough mobile charge to travel up to approximately 10 miles to a nearby charging point.

Electric vehicle breakdown assistance can also help with other covered problems, including:

• Flat 12-volt batteries
• Electrical faults
• Tyre problems
• Charging difficulties
• Mechanical failures

Check whether the EV benefits you need are included in your selected cover level.

RAC Breakdown Cover for Motorbikes

RAC also offers breakdown cover for eligible motorbikes.

The same broad principles apply: an RAC patrol will try to resolve the problem, and recovery may be provided if the motorbike cannot be repaired.

Motorcyclists should check:

• Eligible vehicle requirements
• Recovery arrangements
• Cover at home
• National Recovery
• European travel requirements
• Any applicable exclusions

Confirm during the referral journey that your chosen motorcycle cover qualifies for the £25 voucher.

RAC Breakdown Cover for Vans

RAC provides van breakdown options for personal and commercial users.

However, the referral offer excludes RAC Business Breakdown Cover. If a van is used commercially or for business activity, check which product is required and whether it remains eligible for the referral reward.

Do not select personal breakdown cover simply to access the promotion if your actual vehicle use requires business protection.

RAC Optional Extras

RAC allows customers to customise eligible policies with additional protection.

Onward Travel

Onward Travel can help you continue your journey when the vehicle cannot be repaired promptly.

Depending on the policy terms, this may include:

• A hire car
• Alternative public transport
• Overnight accommodation

Check the monetary limits, duration and qualifying conditions.

European Cover

European Breakdown Cover can provide assistance when driving in participating European countries.

The RAC referral offer excludes the purchase of RAC European Breakdown Cover, so do not assume that a European-only policy will generate the Amazon voucher.

Tyre Replace

Tyre Replace can help cover the cost of replacing qualifying damaged or punctured tyres, subject to annual limits and exclusions.

Standard breakdown assistance may still help with fitting a spare wheel or arranging a temporary solution, but it does not automatically pay for a replacement tyre.

Battery Replace

Battery Replace can provide a replacement when an eligible battery cannot be recharged, subject to the policy conditions.

Key Replace

Key Replace can help with qualifying lost, stolen or broken car or house keys.

Business Use

RAC offers protection for vehicles used for work. However, RAC Business Breakdown Cover is excluded from the referral promotion.

When Does RAC Cover Start?

The start date depends on the benefit.

RAC states that:

• Roadside Assistance starts on your chosen cover date if the vehicle has not already broken down.
• At Home cover starts on the chosen policy date.
• National Recovery starts after 24 hours.
• Onward Travel starts after 24 hours.
• Key Replace, Battery Replace and Tyre Replace begin seven days after the cover start date.

These timings can change, and individual policy terms apply. Read the documentation supplied with your quote.

If you have already broken down, do not buy standard online cover expecting RAC to attend the existing incident. You will need to contact RAC about non-member assistance.

The myRAC App

RAC members can use the myRAC app to manage their membership and request assistance.

App features can include:

• Reporting a breakdown
• Tracking the attending patrol
• Viewing breakdown cover details
• Managing membership information
• Viewing car-insurance details
• Setting vehicle reminders
• Using the Fuel Finder
• Accessing member savings

The quickest way for an existing member to request help is often through the app or RAC’s online rescue service.

What Is Not Covered?

Breakdown policies contain conditions and exclusions. The precise rules depend on the cover selected.

Examples of areas requiring particular attention include:

• Faults that existed before the cover began
• Vehicles that do not meet eligibility requirements
• Repeat callouts for an unresolved fault
• Routine servicing or maintenance
• Replacement parts and repair costs
• Breakdowns resulting from continued use after a warning
• Incidents on private or inaccessible land
• Recovery beyond the limit included in your package
• Commercial use not declared when purchasing
• European incidents without appropriate European cover

Check the current RAC policy booklet rather than relying only on a summary of benefits.

Who Could Benefit from the RAC Referral Offer?

The RAC referral link could be particularly useful for:

• New drivers arranging their first breakdown policy
• Customers switching from another breakdown provider
• Families seeking vehicle or personal cover
• Drivers who want nationwide recovery
• People who need breakdown assistance at home
• Electric-car owners looking for specialist roadside support
• Motorcyclists seeking breakdown protection
• Customers who want a recognised UK breakdown provider

The £25 Amazon voucher adds value, but your main decision should still be based on the cover, price and policy terms.

Tips Before Buying RAC Breakdown Cover

Check Whether You Already Have Cover

Breakdown assistance may already be included with:

• Your car insurance
• A packaged bank account
• A vehicle manufacturer’s warranty
• A new or used car purchase
• A lease agreement
• Another household member’s policy

Avoid paying twice for similar protection.

Compare the Total Annual Cost

If paying monthly, check the total amount payable over the 12-month contract and compare it with the annual-payment price.

Match the Policy to Your Driving

Consider where and how you drive.

For example:

• Local drivers may prioritise Roadside Assistance.
• Long-distance drivers may value National Recovery.
• Drivers with older vehicles may want Home cover.
• Households with several cars may prefer personal or family protection.
• Drivers travelling abroad will need appropriate European cover.

Check the Start Dates

Not every benefit begins immediately. If you have an important journey approaching, ensure the required cover will be active before you leave.

Save Your Referral Evidence

Keep a screenshot of the offer and the confirmation showing that you began through:

https://refer.rac.co.uk/hayleyd-812

Use an Email Address You Monitor

The gift-card reward will be sent to the email address used for the RAC membership.

Enter the address accurately and check your junk folder around the expected reward date.

Set a Reminder to Claim the Voucher

The reward link expires after 60 days. Set a reminder as soon as the email arrives so the £25 voucher is not lost.

Advantages and Considerations

Potential Advantages

• £25 Amazon voucher: Eligible new customers receive a useful reward.
• Reward for both parties: The referring RAC member can also receive a voucher.
• Online application: The quote and purchase can be completed digitally.
• Multiple cover levels: Customers can choose from basic roadside help to broader recovery protection.
• Vehicle and personal options: Cover can be attached to a vehicle or an individual.
• 24/7 assistance: RAC Roadside Assistance operates around the clock.
• EV support: RAC provides specialist assistance for electric vehicles.
• myRAC app: Members can report and track a breakdown digitally.

Points to Consider

• You must purchase through the unique referral link.
• The promotion is online only.
• The reward is not immediate.
• Two monthly payments or the full annual payment must be received.
• Both policies must remain active.
• The voucher must be claimed within 60 days.
• European and Business Breakdown Cover are excluded.
• The offer cannot be used after you have already broken down.
• Policy prices and benefits vary between customers.
• Optional extras can increase the total cost.

Is RAC Breakdown Cover Worth It?

RAC Breakdown Cover may be worth considering if you want access to a well-established UK roadside-assistance network and the ability to choose between several cover levels.

The right package depends on your circumstances. Someone who mainly drives locally may only need Roadside Assistance, while a driver regularly travelling across the UK may prefer National Recovery, At Home assistance and Onward Travel.

The referral offer provides an additional reason to consider RAC. An eligible new customer can receive a £25 Amazon.co.uk Gift Card without paying extra specifically for the referral reward.

However, compare the full annual cost, benefits and exclusions with other breakdown providers. The Amazon voucher should be treated as a useful bonus rather than the only reason to choose a policy.
