Recovery

How does onward travel work? If a vehicle is off the road for a few days, can you get taxi/ bus fares back for each journey until the vehicle is repaired or is it just for one journey?

I think it’s for a journey home, plus one back to get the car.
Or 3 day car hire.
Read the T&C’S for the policy you are taking out.

Thanks for reply. It's the rac. How does the AA book a tow? One person at rac says it can only be booked 24hrs before appointment at the garage but another said it can be done in advance.

Hmmm, are you planning to use the RAC for a journey?

The cover only applies where you have a policy before the breakdown occurs. You can't breakdown and then look at the T's and C's to try and work out the best deal as neither will recover you for a pre existing breakdown which is what this sounds like.

Well I think they might now but at a similar cost to ringing around and asking for recovery quotes from other businesses offering that service.

What does the RAC policy booklet page 12 say about onward travel?

That explains what cover you have.

If you don’t have the booklet to hand you can get it online.
