My roadside assistance ran out on 30 December 2017 which was part of the car when new.
I was thinking of RACW any deals or discount where I can purchase it cheaper or other services who offer it cheaper or might be as good. I know a few petrol garages offer discount fuel and Ii believe you get discounts on other stuff with RACW.
I am insured with AAMI and I'm sure they offer roadside free with it. Is this right?
Over in QLD - We went with RACQ Ultimate (on the road 70% <travelling nationally> of the year). Havent used them yet but was better coverage. Not cheap at almost $300, but cheaper than a tow in the outback….
Shop around - there's a few providers around (eg Allianz, NRMA, etc). If you're thinking of selling the car in the next 12 months, make sure you check what the refund/pro-rated refund rules are. I felt stupid forfeiting more than half a year of roadside assist as I had to sell my car urgently.
That does suck. Couldnt it have tfr with the car to new owner?
nope. It's one of the few 'insurances' which don't give you a pro-rated refund (at least compared to the other insurances I had which I ended when I was moving overseas).
Don't think you can tranfer to a new owner but you can transfer it to another vehicle owned.
In my case I sold a vehicle prior to buying a new one, so just left the roadside in place as I couldn't cancel and then when I purchase a new vehicle I had the policy updated to the new rego :) This was with RACQ
Youi incluced roadside assistance with their comprehensive insurance. I opted for this given how much NRMA was costing me and the awful experiences I'd had with NRMA.
I'm still very skeptical about youi after the frauds which happened a couple of years ago…. has the experience being good?
I've never needed to claim anything or use their roadside assistance so I can't say either way. They're always very friendly on the phone and have generally had very cheap and comprehensive policies.
Fair enough. I have to admit their TV marketing campaign is effective at keeping it front of mind.
nope, roadside assistance is not included with AAMI's insurance policies, they have to be purchased additionally.
