Is roadside assistance worth the splurge? Well, if you enjoy the thrill of being stranded on the side of a highway in the blistering Aussie sun or during a torrential downpour, then maybe skip it. For the rest of us mere mortals, roadside assistance offers peace of mind with services like flat tyre changes, jump starts, and towing. Typically, plans cost between $50 to $150 AUD annually, which is a small price to pay for potentially dodging hundreds in towing fees or waiting hours for help.
Consider the age and reliability of your vehicle, your typical driving terrain, and how much you trust your own mechanical prowess. If you frequently embark on remote trips, it’s practically a no-brainer. Otherwise, it can be a handy safety net, especially if you’re too stubborn to call for help.
