Roadside assistance in Australia typically costs around $50 to $100 per year for basic coverage, while premium plans can stretch up to $200 or more annually. Newer vehicle warranties often bundle this service, but standalone plans from providers like NRMA, RACV, or AAMI are common. Used car buyers might want to add this as a safety net, especially if the vehicle is more temperamental than a kangaroo on a trampoline.
Coverage usually includes flat tires, battery jump-starts, fuel delivery, and lockout services. Always check the fine print on response times and geographic limits. For bargains or listings, try Tradingpost or CarShowroom, but remember, cheap roadside assistance is like cheap tyres—sometimes it just doesn’t grip.
