Great service start to finish
I had a flat tyre and whilst I should change it myself, I have Roadside so I used it. Great service from the call to the change over of the tyre. Ben who attended my car was friendly and efficient.

Roadside assistance
From making the call and getting a patrol out to fix the problem took less than an hour even considering it was a public holiday. A good well done NRMA

Fantastic roadside assistance!
Broke down on the Freeway at night on a public holiday. Within 15 minutes from calling had a tow truck on site and my options super clear. The NRMA Operator was professional, kind and informative. Soooo glad I had NRMA roadside assistance.

Need help? Just wait 48 hours!
Called NRMA today to inquire about having the battery replaced in my car. Turns out that when you sign up for membership you have to wait 48 hours before you can get service. If you want service now they charge you a minimum of $300! Normally membership is $113 annually plus $55 joining fee. There is absolutely no incentive to join at the time you actually need help. Quite the opposite. I ended up replacing the battery myself and NRMA missed out on getting a new member.

NRMA has always been a Membership organisation, whereby you pay an annual rate for the cover of Membership to protect you for that period. All new customers have to serve waiting periods to protect the value of Membership for those Members who continually renew each year. We also proactively encourage new customers to join, through discounted offers before needing assistance as one of many roadside providers out there.Similar opinion?

Big shout out to NRMA roadside assistance in this current environment. They helped me get going again when I was travelling with my elderly mum. The service desk and the mechanic were so professional and understanding. Thank goodness for these kind and dedicated people!

$103 for a tow hook which was bent by the driver was not approved by nrma claims.. I did my own research and a tow hook is not designed to be used to drag a car on the table top truck. I assumed a professional towy would know this..Or its a quick tow?. Chrysler corp statement..1. It will damage the hook 2. It will damage the chassis..Lucky this did not happen..Maybe this should be mentioned at the next meeting about tow hooks.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

20th century methods of updating payment details
In 2020 I was told over the phone that NRMA "lacks the capability" of allowing customers to update their payment details online and instead we have to wait in Q on a phone for extended periods of time. Ridiculous that the internet is not utilised, even dominos can process such a basic task. Review based purely on this fact and nothing else to do with the company.

A car reluctant to start
I have been driving this car since 1912. It was not starting for me on this day. When the NRMA mechanic asked me to place my foot on the brake and press the starter it started. I swear I was not drunk.

Exceptional
The NRMA mechanic who came to me at my home when I had a flat battery was exceptional. He was friendly, competent and understood I was in isolation because of my age and sickness, also the fact I lived alone. He had my car started within a couple of minutes, checked the oil and water without being asked and continued to chat whilst doing so. He practiced social distancing. He even asked me if I was OK with toilet paper and hand sanitiser as he had some in the van for people in need. Such a nice gentleman and he was genuinely concerned for my wellbeing.

Questions & Answers
AJPasked
If I am broken does can I be towed to a repairer of my own choice within the 50km zone even if it is not close to home?
2 answers
My understanding is that you cannot be repaired at the location towing is arranged to the closest available repairer within the prescribed mileage, country areas have different prescribed mileages. NRMA service teams are there to help and advise the options, I have never had any issues with the Road Services even when travelling Interstate.
my n.MyNRMA
Hello AJP, Thanks for your question. Depending on the level of coverage you have, only Premium Care will offer 50kms free towing Australia wide, which can be used to get to a repairer of your choice for a mechanical issue . If you do have Classic Care, 20kms free towing is offered in metro areas - which can be to the Members preferred location. In regional areas though, a free tow back to the attending town is provided for Classic Care Members to ensure a vehicle can be taken to a workshop as often 20km for a breakdown out of town will not help to get a Member to a place of repair. If you are unsure of your coverage or need any further help, please call us on 13 11 22. ( 8am - 8pm, 7 days). - Paul
