As the title says, joining fee of 55$ waived if you go through the linked URL (not a referral link). It is Nationwide, new Members only.
Cheers!
Join NRMA roadside assistance and save $55 for a limited time. No joining fee. 12 month term. Min cost $119.88
Please note that NRMA roadside assistance only services NSW and ACT, however our partnerships mean you'll be covered across Australia.
I don't see why not, but you're only saving the $55 sign up fee and you'll have a few days to wait until you can access services.
I think 24 hours
There is no cooling off period for roadside assistance. Once you pay, you are sort of paying for whole year..
48
A trip is coming up soon, so thought maybe I can use it or a month just in case. But what if its a binding 12 months contract.
Shouldn't be, but you'll know if you click through. They're not going to trick you into a contract.
@lknight: You're absolutely right. Pretty strange. I'm with RAA and there's no fee to join, I pay month to month, and there's no minimum term. I actually wanted to pay annually, but there's no difference or discount for doing so, so I decided not to.
Please confirm if this is for NSW only.I think it is.
NRMA is NSW based, but there is some reciprocal cover for other states AFAIK
I got this when I put in an SA address
Please note that NRMA roadside assistance only services NSW and ACT, however our partnerships mean you'll be covered across Australia. Plus, your NRMA Blue benefits can go even further. Upgrade to Premium Care.
Nationwide
Why do they need a joining fee to begin with. Sound like a crock of shite to begin with.. who do they think they are. Costco
$55 membership for what?
What benefit if you only take the membership?
Sounds like a gym membership
Perhaps put the product in the title, NRMA offers various services, not just roadside assist.
Guys, don't use NRMA, use this instead

It says its expire but it still works - $69 for 12 months. I've used them before and they are great.
A matter afact, all roadside assistance are the same, they use the same contractors.
Thanks. I thought you get those blue NRMA trucks though?
Nevermind. Cars over 15 years old not covered.
And like my insurance company Budget Direct, they look at the existing kilometres.
I think for old heavy vehicle (up to 4 tonne GVM) like mine, ugot for just towing at $95 for under 10 km is the most straightforward for same day towing. Roadside assistance has bonuses though so I forked out $110 in this case and will wait 48 hrs.
If you know your battery is good do the mechanics do any other tests to determine why a car won't start? In my old car's case: ignition, carburetor (!) and fuel pump/lines/pressure, starter. Or is it pretty much battery good, not myproblem, call tow truck. I like foreknowledge before mechanics take my car hostage.
Anybody know if I can cancel my membership after one month?
