RACQ Roadside Assistance: Wherever you are, we're on our way

Millions of Queenslanders have relied on RACQ's expert patrols to come to their rescue. We have the state's largest network of patrols, we provide 24/7 roadside assistance all across Queensland, and we get 92% of vehicles* going without towing. RACQ offers five levels of cover for a range of vehicles. It's not just about what you drive, but the way you drive, and where you travel. So whether you have a car, motorbike or business vehicle, or an SUV, RV or electric vehicle, choose the roadside assistance Queenslanders have always counted on.
