In Australia, the headline roadside assistance companies are the state motoring clubs: NRMA (NSW/ACT), RACV (VIC), RACQ (QLD), RAA (SA), RAC (WA), RACT (TAS) and AANT (NT).
They offer tiers covering breakdowns, batteries, lockouts and fuel, with towing limits typically around 10–100 km depending on plan.
Insurers like AAMI, Allianz and Budget Direct sell assistance too, and many new cars bundle 12–36 months if you service with the dealer.
Expect roughly AUD 80–200 per year, more if you want long-distance towing or caravan coverage.
Before you sign, check response-time targets, fine print on modified vehicles, and whether “nationwide” includes the quiet bit 200 km past the last servo.
Digital membership cards and live tracking are now common, which beats guessing if your rescuer is two streets away or still in Dubbo.
