Get a QuoteDon't let a flat battery get you down. If your battery dies, we'll either jump-start your vehicle or you can pay for a new battery to get you back on the road in no time.
If your vehicle breaks down, we can help out by towing you up to 20 km from the breakdown location or 50 km round trip from the contractor's depot.
We're always here to help which is why during your 12-month membership period, you're entitled to an unlimited number of callouts, subject to our fair use policy.
Flat tyres are never fun, but that's why we're here. If your car has a flat tyre, we can change it with the spare in your car, free of charge.
Ran empty? We'll give you a $15 top-up of fuel if you run out so you can head to the nearest petrol station to fill up.
If your keys are lost, stolen or locked in your vehicle, we can help you get into your car or arrange a taxi or courier to fetch a spare key (total cost up to $125).
Get total peace of mind with unlimited access to our technical phone assistance where our experts can help you diagnose the problem to get you up and running again if your car breaks down.
Whether you need a replacement battery, jump-start or key rescue, we won't leave you in the dark. With Roadside Assistance, you can follow your roadside contractor's location and estimated time of arrival as they approach.#
