Does my car insurance cover me for roadside assistance?

No - your car insurance doesn't cover you for roadside assistance.

Roadside assistance is covered by AA Membership, which is managed by our partner company, the New Zealand Automobile Association (NZAA).

You can find some ways to contact the NZAA directly below:

Calling 0800 500 444 or +64 9 966 8688. Their opening hours are 8.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday.
