RAC Renewal HELP

My thoughts won't help the OP. I think the future tyre charge possibly relates to many new cars not having a spare wheel. So the OP is driving the car and a tyre gets trashed, calls out RAC and they supply & fit new tyre.

Not quite - they do that anyway. The difference is they pay for the new tyre.

Basically, the OP's gambling on a ~60% chance of the RAC paying for a trashed tyre.

Then start arguing with them about the £85 "arrangement fee", and try not to loose your keys.

Knock that silliness off, and £135 is very reasonable for national recovery/at home/onward travel breakdown cover with the big boys. I'd pay that.

Once you have cancelled with RAC and their comedy pricing, consider signing up for a Nationwide Flexplus account that costs £13/month and includes full EU breakdown cover (as well as mobile phone and travel insurance), and if you have a joint account you're both covered.

I pay for my RAC using Tesco vouchers and make sure they never, ever get my bank or credit card details; even if it means overpaying a bit in Tesco vouchers. The worry of them taking money and the likely hassle getting it back just isn't worth it.
