“As a leading UK provider of motor and home insurance, we work hard to ensure we are partnered with the best service providers so that we can meet all of our customers’ needs.

“After a re-tender of breakdown services, we determined that the RAC, with its 120 years’ experience and well-known brand, would provide our customers with the best service.”

RAC’s Head of Commercial Sales, Richard Fuller, said: “We’re very excited to announce this new partnership with esure. They have a proven track record of providing customer-focused insurance products which goes hand in hand with the quality we pride ourselves on here at the RAC.
