THE RAC has won the contract to manage vehicle breakdown calls for Lex Vehicle Leasing 24 hours a day. The new contract builds on the established relationship between Lex and the RAC, which already provides rescue and recovery plus European services for the Marlow-based leasing company's 75,000 vehicle fleet.

Lex previously managed breakdown calls in-house during working hours with RAC providing out-of-hours cover. The new round-the-clock system will route all Lex breakdown calls direct to the RAC fleet centre in Stockport.
