Which provider of roadside assistance is best in South Australia?

Which provider of roadside assistance is best in South Australia is fairly clear, because RAA, the Royal Automobile Association of South Australia, is the dominant and highest-rated provider in SA and has the largest patrol network in the state. RAA has been operating since 1903 and has over 800,000 members in SA, with patrols covering Adelaide metro, regional centres like Mount Gambier, Port Lincoln, Whyalla and the Barossa, and remote highways. For most SA drivers, RAA is considered best because it offers the fastest response times in SA, with average metro response under 45 minutes, and it has reciprocal agreements with NRMA, RACV, RACQ and other interstate clubs for national cover when travelling. RAA offers three tiers. RAA Roadside is basic at around $115 per year with 20km towing. RAA Roadside Plus at around $175 per year includes 100km towing, accommodation and hire car. RAA Premium at around $260 per year includes unlimited towing in SA, personal cover, and caravan and trailer cover. Alternative providers in SA include Allianz, Budget Direct and AAMI roadside assistance add-ons for $70 to $95 per year, which use contractor networks and are cheaper but have slower response times in regional SA. For people who want the cheapest option, 24/7 Roadservices offers national cover for $69 per year but uses third-party contractors. For overall best coverage, especially if you live in regional SA or travel to remote areas like the Flinders Ranges or Eyre Peninsula, RAA Premium is considered best because of its dedicated patrols and local knowledge.
