It is now official. After 18 months or so of decline the UK economy has grown again, bringing with it a change in outlook and attitude for Britain’s motorists.

It means that months of cash scrimping are also coming to an end as our confidence returns, signalling a return to investments such as breakdown cover and new car buying.

Rescue My Car has already seen a return to ‘sensible’ car ownership as a result of the recent snow, enforcing more of us to think about what we would do it we did break down.

The renewed financial confidence is already pushing more former breakdown cover holders to renew and RMC Managing Director Neil Richards-Smith expects to welcome more customers back over the coming weeks.

He said: ‘It has been a tough 18 months for everyone but it is great news to hear that we are now officially out of recession.’

‘For us it means we can start to help our customers to take a logical step back into taking out breakdown cover, which is a great thing as it can save us all hundreds of pounds over the course of a year.’

If you are beginning to feel a little more on top of your finances again and would like to start protecting yourself against any possible breakdown then please call our team of breakdown cover experts on 0800 0199519.
