Allianz Roadside Assistance offers 24/7 support across Australia from experienced mechanics. Roadside assistance is typically used to help with; flat batteries or tyres, locked-in keys, running out of electric car charge, or needing fuel.
There are two memberships available; Basic and Platinum.
This covers essential roadside assistance services, including:
This includes all the services offered in the Basic membership, with the below additional benefits:
There is a 48-hr waiting period that applies to both the Basic and Platinum plans after purchase.
However, if you've broken down and require immediate assistance, you can join and pay a $100 service fee for on the spot repairs. If towing services are needed, Allianz can help you organise the service, but it'd be at your cost.
Allianz has strong features and relatively high benefit limits. Roadside assistance policies are generally quite similarly-priced but Allianz is among the more expensive.
To show how Allianz compares to other popular roadside assistance services, we've included both the Basic and Platinum Plans in the table below.
| Company | Cost per year | Joining fee | Callout limits | Need to hold a policy with them? | Lockout / Lost key | Breakdown towing |

Need to hold a car policy?* refers to whether or not you must hold a car insurance policy with the provider before you have access to their roadside assistance services. We've included this because some roadside assistance policies are standalone, others are only available as add-ons to car insurance policies.
