RAC Telematics technology standard on all vehicles for DFC

Northern Ireland's leading Vehicle Management Company DFC celebrates 25 years in business with this exciting new announcement.

Belfast-based DFC and the RAC have joined forces to provide market-leading Breakdown Recovery, Accident Management and Telematics services, ensuring the cutting edge vehicle technology is available for all customers.

Uel Butler CEO at DFC said: “We are pleased to announce that all DFC ​ Contract Hire Vehicles, ordered from April 2015 will include RAC ​ Telematics, Breakdown Cover and Accident Management as standard. Our new ​ holistic fleet management approach will be widely available for all ​ vehicle users.

“DFC has just celebrated 25 years supplying and managing vehicles in ​ the UK and Ireland and this exciting new partnership with the RAC is a ​ fantastic way to mark this milestone. This game changing approach, a ​ first in Northern Ireland guarantees maximum cost savings on your ​ vehicle(s), secures peace of mind and promises full GPS cover for your ​ vehicles 24 hours a day, with the advantage of incorporating RAC ​ Breakdown and Accident Management.”

RAC Corporate Sales Director Jenny Powley said: “We have developed a ​ powerful relationship with DFC which will provide their customers with ​ the level of Breakdown Cover and Accident Management they would expect ​ from the DFC brand.”

A feature of this partnership is that businesses will also be able to ​ buy RAC Telematics systems, whether they are a customer or not from DFC ​ in Belfast.

This will provide further support to businesses looking to drive down ​ costs and provide highly accurate insight into how fleets are ​ functioning in terms of fuel consumption and driving styles.

The new partnership with the RAC will not only provide peace of mind ​ for DFC’s customers in terms of breakdown, with eight out of ten ​ vehicles being fixed at the roadside, but will also help support ​ business and personal customers with a range of service enhancements.
