What is roadside assistance?

Roadside assistance is designed to get your vehicle back on the road in the event of a breakdown. It generally includes cover for:

  • Battery issues: jump-starting a flat battery or supplying you with a replacement battery.
  • Flat tyres: inflating or changing a tyre if you have a spare.
  • Towing: towing your car to a nearby mechanic (up to a certain distance).
  • Keys: if you lock your keys inside your car, helping to unlock your car. If you lose your keys, helping with the cost of getting new keys or retrieving your spare key (up to a certain amount).
  • Emergency fuel: delivering emergency fuel so you can reach the nearest petrol station.

Inclusions will vary depending on the provider and the policy you choose, so it’s a good idea to compare your car insurance options to see what you will be covered for. It’s also important to read any relevant policy documentation, such as the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and Target Market Determination (TMD), for any policy you are considering.

How to find the best car insurance with roadside assistance?

Comprehensive car insurance with roadside assistance is available as a standard or optional extra on some comprehensive car insurance policies. Some car insurance providers also allow you to buy roadside assistance as a standalone policy (meaning you don’t have to have a comprehensive car insurance policy with them). Some providers may offer a discount on their car insurance policies to customers who are also roadside assistance members (i.e. state or territory based motoring organisations like RAA, RAC and RACQ).
