How do I cancel my roadside assistance?

You can replace the vehicle listed under your roadside assistance subscription at any time via your online account.

You can cancel or choose to transfer your roadside assistance subscription package/s at any time. It’s important to know that if you cancel a subscription package, you’ll no longer be able to request roadside assistance for that nominated vehicle or access other member benefits, if you don’t hold any other subscriptions. Please be aware that you will not be entitled to a refund if you cancel your subscription/s.

Please refer to our terms and conditions 1.10. Cancelling Your Membership and/or Subscription Packages.

Cancellation is best completed at the time of renewal. To discuss your options, please call us on 13 11 22.

I'm a member but the vehicle requiring assistance is not covered by a membership package. Can I get immediate Roadside Assistance?
Yes, you’ll just need to pay an On Road Join & Go fee plus the cost of your roadside subscription.
I joined NRMA one hour ago and then broke down. Can I get Roadside Assistance?
NRMA roadside assistance is available 48 hours after you join. So if you require immediate roadside assistance, upon joining or later the same day, an On Road Join & Go fee will apply.
Does my NRMA Roadside Assitance subscription cover my caravan or trailer?
If the nominated vehicle towing the caravan is covered by our Complete Care, Ultimate Care, Premium Care or Traveller Care package and the caravan or trailer is not over 2 tonnes, it will be covered for roadside assistance.
Can I get Roadside Assistance if I breakdown interstate?
Yes - NRMA roadside assistance membership entitles you to national roadside assistance coverage, utilising reciprocal arrangements that NRMA Motoring & Services has with all other State and Territory motoring clubs in Australia.

Reciprocal benefits entitle you to the basic roadside assistance cover offered by the State or Territory motoring club, depending on which State or Territory in which you breakdown.
Can I get NRMA Roadside Assistance for an LPG vehicle?

Yes - NRMA Patrols are qualified to carry out repairs to the low-pressure side of LPG systems and equipment, including electrical wiring and connections associated with the system.

Patrols cannot supply LPG to vehicles that run out of fuel. These vehicles will need to be towed. Taxis will be required to pay for the tow at a commercial rate at the time of service. Towing entitlements for other members are subject to their membership package terms and conditions.

How do I contact NRMA Roadside Assistance if I'm hearing impaired?

If you're unable to call 13 11 11 and speak directly to an operator, you can make contact one of the following ways:

 

  • By text message to 0437 13 11 11 (SMS only)
  • By the My NRMA app
  • By using the National Relay Service to place your call.
I am driving a car that belongs to someone else and I have broken down. Can I get Roadside Assistance?
If the vehicle is covered by an appropriate NRMA roadside assistance package, you will be able to get roadside assistance.
Is NRMA Roadside Assistance the same as NRMA Insurance?

Although many motorists have both NRMA roadside assistance and NRMA car insurance, they are separate services provided by separate companies.

Insurance is issued by Insurance Australia Limited ABN 11 000 016 722 AFSL 227681 (IAL), trading as NRMA Insurance. Roadside assistance is provided by National Roads and Motorists' Association Limited ABN 77 000 010 506.
