Roadside assistance costs in Australia can vary wildly depending on the provider, coverage level, and your vehicle type. Basic memberships often start around $50 to $100 per year, while comprehensive plans with extras like towing, battery replacement, and lockout services can tip past $200 annually. If you’re buying a new car, some dealerships throw in roadside assistance for free for a year or two, so check your fine print. Used car buyers should budget for this ongoing expense, and sites like Tradingpost or CarShowroom sometimes bundle it with vehicle sales. Always read the terms—some plans have limits on towing distances or call-outs, which might leave you stranded even with coverage. In short: it’s rarely a fortune, but it’s a classic ‘you hope you never need it’ investment.
