Ageas, one of the UK’s leading personal lines insurers, has selected the RAC to be its legal expenses insurance provider to the customers of Ageas and Rias motor, van and home insurance. 

The contract follows a competitive tender process and means all Ageas Retail Limited’s customers who opt to include Legal Expenses with their policies will be provided with the RAC’s expert legal expertise from their next renewal. 

Paul Evans, general manager RAC Legal Services, said: “We’re proud to have been selected by Ageas to be its sole provider of legal expenses insurance. This is a product we have invested a great deal in, and it is fantastic that Ageas’s customers now can benefit from it. 

“Legal expenses cover gives drivers making non-fault motor claims and home policyholders with legal disputes support, so they don’t lose out financially and also have the peace of mind that comes from being able to get advice on a wide range of personal legal matters – including employment, property and family matters – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 

“The RAC is already Ageas Retail Limited’s current motor breakdown assistance provider, and we very much look forward to continuing to develop our partnership with one of the country’s leading insurers.” 

Adam Clarke, Managing Director of Ageas UK’s Direct Business, said: “For our customers it’s important that we are able to offer them brilliant service where it matters with legal expenses cover that can offer them expert advice and support for unexpected issues that can arise in everyday life. ​ 

“I’m delighted that the RAC will now provide this service to our customers and that they will benefit from the RAC’s legal expertise.” ​

Diesel tops £2 a litre for first time ever
RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “This is a pump price threshold that no-one wanted to cross – the average price of a litre of diesel has risen to a record 200.01p and is showing no signs of slowing, heaping more misery onto motorists. The cost of filling up an average family car is now £110, almost £32 more than it was at the start of the US/Iran war. This will be very challenging for households and companies that drive a lot of miles, from commuters, haulage and delivery firms, businesses with large fleets all the way through to sole traders. In a cruel twist, it’s diesel vehicles, which were once considered the most cost-effective option for lengthy journeys, that are now burning a hole in people's pockets.

Price of diesel reaches record high
RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: "The average price of a litre of diesel has now reached the highest level in UK history at 199.18p, in what will be a financial blow to households and businesses that use their vehicles regularly. The cost of filling up an average family car is now almost £110, £31 more than it was at the start of the US/Iran conflict. By eclipsing the previous highest price of 199.09p seen in June 2022, the diesel price has entered new uncharted territory. This spells pain not only at the pumps for drivers, but for everyone who buys goods or services that rely on diesel lorries and vans; undoubtedly these increased costs will be passed on to consumers.
