Road Service/Support in the Cape

DELUXE membership.
The NRMA paid to get a friends car back from Oodnadatta after it rolled, and paid some accommodation for them.

The first time we went to the Cape we applied for the top membership at RACQ - can't remember the cost but we did it for 1 year and then switched back to normal membership. Didn't bother this time around when we went to the Cape last month.

Between top cover RACQ and your insurance you should be right. Read up on the fine print on your insurance as well as we met one chap up there that put his fan into his radiator (100 series TD or V8) and cost to get back to Cairns was $2500 of which CGU were going to cover $500.

There are a lot of travellers up the Cape and a majority of them are extremely friendly and will help out where they can.

Top level racq cover got the old boy's cruiser from chilli beach to weipa for repairs for nil cost......well worth it.

Agree, the top level RACQ saved me quite a few thousand. Broke down north of Broome and car and camper were carted back to Broome. At this point it went pear shaped as the RACWA guy tried to rip us off for repairs, wanted over $5k more than the nearest quote. Never had a drama with RACQ they footed the near $3k tow charge though weren't happy with the above agent and paid for accommodation. Being a gold member you get double the benefits up the same policy.

Hi
