After having had the need to access roadside assistance for a tow of about 87 km and finding out it was going to cost me OVER $680 even though I HAD RACQ Ultra who else do people use for those times when a breakdown requires a tow.
My rear tyre had a catastrophic failure on the last leg of my BB2500 ..... 200 km from home!
RACQ said that the max call out distance was 50 kms and the maximum tow was 20km. the balance was to be paid at a rate of $9.60 per km. I kindly told the RACQ person that that is ridiculous and he then came back with a price of $5.5o per km. That was still way too high so I got a mate to drive out for $300 and a carton of beer.
I don't know what I would have done had I been further away from home.
so ..... who do you use, who would you not use and what traps for young players are there when getting breakdown service quotes and policies?
Cheers.
