If you can't find the package in the repositories, you can download it from:

It may not be installed, but have you checked the repositories? I'd be surprised if unrar isn't in there.

Unrar is available for Fedora in the rpmfusion-nonfree repositories - not sure if they've got a version specifically for RH

It's in rpmforge and the non-free section of rpmfusion

http://rpmfusion.org/
and Post 5 tells you how to use it.
