If you break down in Western Australia or anywhere in Australia, an RAC Roadside Assistance policy can get you up and running again or tow you to the nearest repairer. It can also help you out with other things like flat tyres and fuel replacement. When you join RAC Roadside Assistance, you automatically become a member, giving you access to discounts on RAC products as well as savings on fuel, shopping, movie tickets and more.

Yes. Although RAC is a Western Australia-based company, it provides roadside assistance across all other states. RAC has partnerships with lots of other companies in different states so if you do break down while you're outside Western Australia, you'll still be able to get help and access the same benefits.
The RAC Roadside Assistance number is 13 11 11. When you call, give them the following information:
