From the RAC website
"Vehicle value: £1,000 (this is the minimum vehicle value we can accept) E.g. If the vehicle is valued at £500 your quotation will be based on £1,000."
For example if you have a bike worth £500 and want to drive to New Zealand.
£500 = £1000
£1000 x 500% = £5000, 10% of which is £500 (£250 refundable)
Tax (6%) £30 (£30 refundable)
Deposit to RAC £350 (£350 refundable)
Carney Cost £200
So total up front cost = £1080
Refunded £630
Total cost £450

Why is your deposit only £350 for a carnet of of £5000 ?? Is it insured, deposited or bank guaranteed ???
I had to either lay down the whole carnet value in cash deposit, pay a premium for an insurance policy on the amount or have a bank guarantee for the amount.
Cheers, Ted
