I waited three hours and fifty minutes for service. The calls I made were directed to a reserve call centre where the girl taking the calls had no information. All she could do was email the company.
This was on a fine afternoon, no rain or any reason for a delay.

be warned that if your car is within 10kms from your home, they won't come out to you. It is stated in the Ts&Cs so they can legally do that, but extremely deceptive practice because no competitor even has such a rule. They also used to say on their website for the gold package ' great for local shopping' . If you're doing local shopping, there's a good chance you're gonna be less than 10kms from your house. Anyway, when I told them about this issue, they said that they're not in breach of any laws and they quietly took away the above statement . I have a screenshot of the old quote.

They offered to discuss this issue on the phone but I'm still waiting for their call. To be honest, the concept was a great idea, but to have such an exclusion of being 10kms from home, and that it's hidden in the terms and conditions which are also hard to find is simply reprehensible.

Approximate cost: $69

Ok. That's one small company. I doubt you'll find any more.
Also, they display in no uncertain terms of such a limitation. Your website is not clear about this at all.

im 65 and have been with [redacted other business name] for the last 40 years. lets face it the prices are going up and i cannot afford to continue to pay their premiums.

I switched to real roadside approx 9 months ago, i've just got back from a trip around australia and yes I did need roadside assistance in WA. Seems the fridge flattened the battery
great service i did have to wait 40 minutes for a jump start but none the less good service

Approximate cost: $139

Approximate cost: $79

I was driving in the heavy rain, when my car stopped i was on my way to bring family to the airport to get someone out to get my car going again she also was able to call ahead and make sure the flight would wait so thank you Real Roadside and thank you Jasmine for going above and beyond.
