They might charge for picking you up if your bike's in several pieces after a biggie, but I haven't heard of them charging for your own minor mishaps... I think as long as the bike will roll, it's basically cool.


You might have got away with it but their terms and conditions do state they will charge. I confirmed this when we were looking to move from the totally useless RAC. Decided that if someone knocked the bike over breaking the brake lever (say £10 worth of damage) I was not going to claim off my insurance, loose my no claims bonus and make myself virtually uninsurable the following year.

Think the RAC allow 6 call outs in a year before they up the renewal fee. However at the moment given their response times you would probably have difficulty having sufficient time to call them out six times in a year.

All the best

This means /in theory/ that they will charge you or claim of fully comp/the other drivers/riders 3rd party insurance for recovery after an accident. Not want you want if you've just mashed your bike up.
