If you’ve ever been on a road, you’ll no doubt have seen an NRMA roadside service vehicle helping out some unfortunate driver and their tired old car get back on the road. The NRMA is Australia’s largest member organisation and has been providing drivers roadside assistance, International Driving Permits, insurance, maintenance and registration services for almost a century. But what makes them a good option? What policies do they offer and what exclusions are there? Here’s our full breakdown of NRMA Roadside Assistance.

NRMA won’t cover any vehicle or trailer that is unregistered, unroadworthy or if it is being used for business or commercial purposes. Other factors that can disqualify you from cover are:
NRMA can also deny further roadside assistance or towing if it deems the use of the service as unnecessary and excessive.
No. Roadside assistance only provides cover for breakdowns and the benefits only extend to a point where you are safely off the road. You would still cover any costs and charges for labour or, in the event of an accident, legal liability. For protection against third party property or accidental damage, NRMA offers a range of car insurance policies to cover against such events.
Pull as far off the road as you can, turn your hazard lights on and stay with your vehicle.
Call 13 11 22 for NRMA Roadside Assistance, which will provide over-the-phone support and send out a mechanic to get you back on the road or a tow to get you to safety.
