    Thanks for all your responses. I have had a look at NRMA Premium and it does not say cover for any car - you have to nominate the car. If you change cars, you have to wait 24 hours to use it I had a look RACV and they did not say any car either.

    I just found another
    http://www.roadsideassistance-1.com.au/
    It is half the price of NRMA. What I find annoying with NRMA is that I have 4 vehicles, and can't have more than two driving at the same time, and there is no reduction for extra vehicles

    That thing about driver being covered seems a great idea. NRMA does not have that - I am in NSW.

    I am not sure if NRMA has the same deal as RACV. Living here on the border, I have heard that RACV will cover you at a NSW address if you live within a certain distance of the border. I have had total care for years and had to use it once (on a Toyota of course) - but it is a good feeling when you are many miles from home - knowing that IF anything does go wrong - you are fully covered for accommodation, hire car and the transport of your vehicle and trailer / caravan. A mate had his 4WD shipped from Darwin to Wodonga, and he had a hire 4WD to drive home. Its a great service.

    Thanks everybody for your posts. NRMA have confirmed that they do NOT have a similar cover. I have to find out whether I can get an RACV membership even though I live in NSW.

    That's really quite dumb! When you consider that if I was in Bathurst NSW and blew a fuel pump it would be NRMA that services me under a reciprical rights arrangement??? Go figure!

    Just check out the price for the top roadside assistance with RAC, $265 per year.......oh well it is only money and it does give me that little extra safety if something does go wrong out in the never never.
    If any members require assistance in anything regarding this forum, just let me know via a PM and I will help you in any way that I can.
