how long does nrma take to come

In metro areas, NRMA roadside usually lands in about 30–60 minutes, with genuine hazards bumped up the queue. Bad weather, peak hours and long weekends can stretch waits to 90+ minutes, and regional or remote calls can be 60–120+ depending on availability. Tow jobs or specialty vehicles may take longer while the right truck is found. Once your job’s allocated you’ll typically get an SMS/app ETA you can stalk like the last tram home. Keep your phone handy and your location clear to speed things up. If you’re in a dangerous spot, call 000 first—safety trumps spanners.
