Hi Guys,

Do you pay/how much do you pay for breakdown cover? Sorry if this has already been covered, I tried to do a search, alright a not very indepth one, but I couldn't come up with answers.

Thanks Cal I'll have a look, it was just something that popped in my head so I thought I'd ask.

Do you guys not bother with things like that then?

Just got my renewal for my breakdown cover in NSW , with the NRMA association . For top cover it is $151 / year . Just remember though that unlike the AA relay , you can't get a tow home to Sydney from Perth if you break down ... It's a long way you know !!

Hubby a mechanic so didnt bother with anything like that although i was informed when in the UK that if your a member of the AA there is some sort of deal you can exchange ,didnt look into it so really not sure what (or if) it is ,,

hello chick, I know the answer to this question as just paid RAC for cover we are paying $158 a year for blue cover which covers Adey in any car that he's travelling in, plus gives you expenses or accommodation if they can't fix the car blah blah blah. The cheapest version is about $78 for basic breakdown cover but they don't get you home (if you are far far away and here you can be far far away very easily).

We put the policy in Ade's name as he will be out on site the most and stuck in god forsaken places in the bush and the further I'll ever be is 20 mins from home so he can always drive his car to mine and ring the RAC to come and rescue me (see I'm learning to budget finally you will be proud).
