budget car insurance roadside assistance

Chasing budget car insurance with roadside assistance? The cheap seats usually offer roadside as an add‑on for about $60–$120/year, or bundled in mid‑tier policies, covering the basics: battery, flat tyre, fuel top‑up and a tow. The fine print is where the fun begins — look for towing limits (often 20–50 km metro, more in regional areas), call‑out caps, and whether they’ll help with lockouts or just wish you luck. If you drive an older or modified car, check vehicle age/weight exclusions; some budget plans quietly pretend LandCruisers don’t exist. Compare against your state auto club too; sometimes they’re cheaper and less fussy. As ever, price is lovely, but coverage that actually turns up at 2am on the Monash is lovelier.
