I pay for annually for NRMA roadside assistance and luckily hardly ever need it. Late yesterday i was visiting family in Brisbane from golden beach. Driving around the car engine started smoking. I made it back to family unit and the car conked out. I rang NRMA, as I'm in Qld with a NSW company they rang RACQ for me to assist. The guy was with me in ten minutes! Lovely man,too bad i cant mention names, checked my engine thoroughly and said what he thought needed fixing but i needed to get it towed to repairers😟.
I rang NRMA again and he handled the call for me to get a tow. Im entitled to free towing over 100 km. but unfortunately i was 87 kl away from home. Mechanic,NRMA and RACQ were brilliant to me. They decided to pay for the tow home anyway. I was so grateful. This was all done in about 20 min. The tow company rang me when they arrived. Lovely driver,again wish i could mention names.we discussed lots of family matters and culture differences and his home problems on the hour+ drive to my mechanics up coast. Made the drive seem shorter. He was very careful with loading my car. All in all i felt very looked after and had no problems with any of the details from anyone. Please go get NRMA or RACQ assistance it certainly pays off when least expected so glad i have it .thanks so much to everyone

Approximate cost: $130 annually
