What does roadside assistance cover?

  • Breakdowns and towing: If your vehicle breaks down, roadside assistance can offer minor repairs on the spot or organise a tow if the problem requires more attention.
  • Flat battery: Left your lights on and ended up with a dead battery? A quick jump-start can get you back on the road in no time.
  • Lost keys: Locked out or lost your keys? Most roadside assistance plans include access to a locksmith service.
  • Out of fuel: If you've run out of petrol, roadside assistance can bring enough fuel to get you to the next service station.
  • Flat tyre: Don't have a spare or unsure how to change a tyre? Roadside help can take care of it for you.

Every provider is different and what's included will vary based on your own subscription. To get an idea of limits that apply, check with your provider or use our table above.
