How does the discount work?
The newer your car, the higher discount you’ll receive if your car is recognised as having low emissions by RAC.
For example:
- A low emissions car less than 1 year old = save up to 25%
- A low emissions car less than 2 years old = save up to 20%
The discount decreases by 5% each year your car ages, until your car reaches five years old. The discount will automatically be applied to your premium.
