How Does It work?

Contacting RCR's Emergency 0800 number puts you directly through to the RCR breakdown control centre. Our highly trained staff will access your situation and organise the required assistance and work to resolve your problem quickly and effectively. The control centre will dispatch an RCR engineer to your location, pass messages to family or friends and also arrange for any provisions you require to be picked up. At all times the RCR control centre will keep you up to date with any relevant information and the estimated time of arrival of the RCR engineer. The average response between the control centre receiving your call and the RCR engineer arriving at your location is 2 hours.

Where do RCR cover?

RCR offers cover on all inland navigable Rivers and Canals in the UK. from Scotland to The Medway, and the Norfolk Broads.

There are restrictions on tidal estuaries. However if you are safely moored and accessible we will still attend even on tidal stretches (see terms and conditions).

Who is covered the boat or the member?

Under the Gold level you can chose either for the vessel to be the member so any user on the resisted vessel is covered or for the member to be covered on any boat.

Under the Bronze and Silver level the member is the registered user and covered for the registered vessel only.

Under the retainer level the vessel is the member so any one is covered for breakdowns under this level.

If you do break down and find that you are not covered e.g. you're a Bronze member and have lent your vessel to a friend and it has broken down without you onboard, you can still contact us for assistance and we will simply charge you a callout fee for attending.
