It depends on where you drive. Based on our current members, we suggest:
RACV Total Care if you travel long distances, drive an electric vehicle or multiple cars.
RACV Extra Care if you usually stay local, but take frequent trips out of town.
RACV Roadside Care if you're more of a city driver and rarely travel to regional or rural areas.
If you have a caravan or trailer, Total Care or Extra Care might suit you – they both include a level of assistance if the towing vehicle breaks down. Plus, you'll receive assistance if you get locked out of your caravan or it gets a flat tyre.
Size and weight limitations apply. You can find details in the terms and conditions.
