road side assistance price

In Australia, basic roadside assistance typically costs about AUD $100–$150 per year, mid‑tier $150–$220, and premium $220–$350, varying by state motoring clubs (NRMA, RACV, RACQ and their mates).

Plenty of new cars include roadside assistance for 3–7 years as part of the purchase; with used cars you’ll usually be buying a standalone membership.

Pay‑per‑call options can sting you roughly $120–$250 just to show up, with towing beyond the first few kilometres extra.

Bundling with car insurance or adding extra cars often trims the bill, and regional coverage rules can differ—so read the fine print before your alternator writes its resignation letter.
