Renewing Your Annual Membership

Your invitation to renew your membership will be sent to you by email each year by early December. Paper invitations are only sent to members who we do not hold an email address for.

Once you have received your invitation to renew and checked the attached pro forma invoice, you need do nothing further if you are satisfied with the invoice and have a Direct Debit mandate set up: your membership fee will be collected by Direct Debit on or around 3 January each year. Other methods of payment are available if required.

To ensure your renewal is not delayed, please go to the My Account area of the Club website, no later than 18 December each year, and check that:

• your email address shown on the Profile and Contact page is the one you would like us to use for your renewal information
• your bank details and Direct Debit preferences in Payment Methods are up to date.

If any of your personal details change throughout the year, please remember to notify the Membership Team as soon as possible, either by updating the information in My Account or by contacting the Membership Team at members@royalautomobileclub.co.uk or on 01372 229600.

If you have any questions regarding the renewal of your membership, the Membership Team will be happy to assist you.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How and when do I pay my annual membership subscription?
If you pay by Direct Debit, your payment will be automatically collected from the account detailed on the Membership Subscription Invoice on Friday 3 January 2025.

If you pay by any other method, we must receive your payment by Friday 3 January 2025.

2. I want to amend an item on the Membership Subscription Proforma Invoice, e.g. a Junior Member, Guardian Pass holder, Golf Pass, locker or post box. How can I do this?
Please email the Membership Office with your amendment, membership number and full name. The email address can be found at the bottom of this page.
