RACV's cover is stronger than many other roadside assistance brands, but drivers will have to pay higher premiums for the higher-end benefits.

Does my Road Service membership entitle me to discounts at RACV venues such as Goldfields Ballarat? If so, what discount applies to accommodation and also meals/dining?? ie., dinner & breakfast
I hold a Gold card, Regards George Pike
Hi George,
Yes, your membership entitles you to members pricing when booking RACV resorts. The exact discount depends on the resort and the terms of conditions that apply at the time of booking, but it is usually around 10%.
RACV Members may also be entitled to enjoy additional benefits such as a bottle of wine, free in-room movies or additional $50 resort credits, depending on the promotion you book.
Hope this helps!
