Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need RAC Breakdown Cover if I already have motorbike insurance?
Yes. While motorbike insurance covers incidents like theft or accidents, it doesn’t include roadside breakdown assistance, making breakdown cover an essential addition.
What happens if my bike breaks down at home?
If you have At Home Assistance, RAC will send help for non-starts at home. Depending on the distance, towing services or taxi reimbursements may be provided.
Is RAC Breakdown EU suitable for all motorbikes?
No. The EU cover is only available for bikes over 121cc and becomes active 24 hours after starting the policy.
