At Home cover provides RAC attendance for cars that have broken down in the driveway.
In the Winter months the cold can cause issues such as altenator and battery failure, blown headlights, windscreen wiper and washer problems, frozen locks and door handles and broken road coil springs.
In the event that your vehicle were to break down at home, we would come to your house and help to get you on your way.
With the cold days drawing in and winter ever closer, a large proportion of RAC call outs will be to customer’s homes. So this added benefit provides peace of mind for the cold snap.
