Thanks.
In fact that option 2) has never been mentioned by the Finnish, or Swedish AA, so if they have such an option, at least they seem very quiet about it.
I guess what that RAC link refers to, is actually that insurance option, although once again, it does not seem to be mentioned, what option it is, on top there was only "How do you calculate the cost of your RAC carnet".
