Ever since its foundation in 1897, the RAC has been consistently at the forefront of developing motoring services - from introducing uniformed patrols in 1901 and roadside emergency telephone boxes in 1912 right through to the present day when we boast what we believe to be the world's most advanced computer systems to deal with calls for roadside assistance. The RAC is one of the UK's most progressive motoring organisations, providing services for both private and business motorists. Headquartered in Walsall and with offices in Bristol and Manchester the RAC offers vehicle and breakdown services through a nationwide, branded patrol force, focusing primarily on vehicle repair and recovery. In 2014, the RAC's patrol force of approximately 1,500 patrols attended to 2.3 million rescue breakdowns. Whether it is breakdown cover with roadside assistance, Insurance, buying a used car, Connected Car technology solutions, Telematics, vehicle inspections and checks, Legal services, Financial Services, or up-to-the-minute traffic and travel information – the RAC offers a solution for all motoring needs. The RAC is a real community – for the motorists we help and the people we employ. We work every day to continually develop our products for both private and business customers and that is why we're in the ‘Top Ten' of ‘Most Trusted Brands' because we care – for our members, our colleagues and our communities. Alongside our 2020 vision of being a truly Digitally Connected business, the RAC is committed to making motoring easier, safer, more affordable and more enjoyable for drivers and road users. Come with us on the journey.
