Stuck at Cape York

Didn’t know there was such a thing. Who do you use?
NRMA has a lower amount (I had up to AUD3,000), but the main supplier is Club4X4. You can add recovery cover to your policy, like 10,000 or 15,000 etc. Premium varies depends on the amount chosen. You add it during a policy year, but it stays there for that policy year. It can come off the next policy year, if you wish.

Plus their policy covers you off gazetted roads, many polices do not. It is easy to go off a gazetted road when remote, real easy.

I cannot use NRMA with the IG, because they set a max GVM weight of 3500kg, and we are 3550kg,

But trip prep and prevention is my preferred option.
 
Club 4x4 has it but read the fine print. You pay for the recovery they reimburse you after the event. RACQ RACV breakdown etc will do break down recoveries but their fine print is also pretty specific.
Topical...

I realised last week that the two years complimentary roadside assistance from IA expired on 23 July :oops:. Without getting into speciality comprehensive insurances, the highest roadside cover in Qld is RACQ Ultimate. It's a general purpose assistance plan but covers the majority of events I might use. It includes vehicles up to 4500kg GVM, bogged vehicles, lockouts, fuel and batteries plus caravan/trailer towing. RACQ has reciprocal arrangements in other states. The first obvious constraint is a 100km limit on towing. Presumably you could make a financial arrangement with the service provider if you needed to go further.

Currently $344 annual. https://www.racq.com.au/car/roadside-assistance/ultimate-care?
