Common questions

  • How do I renew my roadside cover online?

    If you want to pay your renewal online, you can head to our make a payment page with your reference and pay with card.

  • I recently bought a new car and received roadside assistance as part of the package. Does this mean I don’t need to take out additional coverage?

    RACT provides roadside assistance for many vehicle manufacturers in Tasmania. If you’ve recently purchased a new vehicle through an eligible manufacturer, you may have access to 24/7 roadside assistance across Australia for that vehicle. Depending on your manufacturer, you may be able to extend your roadside assistance for an additional year by servicing your vehicle at a participating dealership. To confirm your eligibility, reach out to your vehicle manufacturer. 

    If you’re looking for personal cover, increased travel benefits, or access to RACT Member Rewards, please go online, call us, or visit a store to compare our options side by side to find the right roadside assistance for your lifestyle. 

  • Does my coverage extend to other cars I drive?

    RACT Roadside Assistance covers you as an individual, not just your car. This means you’re protected no matter which car you’re in, whether you’re driving or if just a passenger. If you start driving a different car, there is no need to purchase new roadside assistance. Our cover is designed to ensure you have support whenever and wherever you need it.
    * Benefit limitations apply. Please refer to full terms and conditions for further information.

  • My roadside direct debit payment has failed. What now?

    Don’t worry: these things happen! If this is the first time you have missed a payment, simply make sure there are enough funds in your account and we’ll attempt the payment again in two weeks. 

    If this is your second failed payment, or if you’re unsure why the payment failed or need assistance updating your details, please call us or visit a store within the next two weeks. We’ll be happy to help resolve the issue and ensure your coverage stays active. 

    Please refer to the Direct Debit Request Service Agreement and terms and conditions for more information.
