breakdown cover

**muddymech** · 4th June 2006, 10:38 AM

hi all
i spent the last few months with no break down cover and think im starting to push my luck.
any body have any recomendations or any thing to look out for when i buy.
when in the uk i used the AA as it covered the driver rather than the car, is there
anything similar here or is it purchased for the car.
thanks for your help

I know I am tempting fate

...only one tow in eight years... a flat bed from Gundagai to Sydney.

Call it self insurance.

It cost $350 from distant memory...it was actually a vehicle transporter with a spare space on board and not a flat bed

It would have cost me that anyway with basic cover.

Thats what friends are for Ian, whats that old saying;

"A friend in need, is a pain in the Rs"

I'm not in the NRMA either, mainly because they wouldn't be able to fix the D2 anyway, it's alot of money to hire a tow truck for 12mths on standby if you ask me

I've got NRMA Premium Care cover - I used it recently to bring the P38A home from Orange when it failed on the trip out there. They also paid for a motel room for my wife.

I know they'll never be able to fix it for me but they will transport it free up to 3000km.
