NRMA Technician van

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a big impact on our lives, but it’s not the first pandemic the NRMA has seen. For over 100 years, we’ve been here to help – and that won’t ever change. The way we deliver that help, however, has seen some necessary changes to ensure that we can all keep moving safely.

We're still here to keep you moving safely

Our top priority remains the health and safety of our employees, Members and the whole community. To help prevent the spread of the virus, we are taking extra precautions.

Roadside assistance
  • As we react to the changing public health advice in different local government areas, service times may vary. We appreciate your patience as we place our resources where help is needed.
  • All of our patrols have been supplied with personal protective equipment, hand sanitiser and disinfectant wipes, and will be following the NSW health guidelines which mandates the use of face masks in certain jurisdictions and in situations where physical distancing is not possible.
  • We’ve developed special safety and hygiene procedures for providing service to Members in highest-risk locations, such as at COVID-19 testing sites.
  • We’re observing social distancing guidelines and are not currently transporting Members in vehicles and in tow trucks. 
  • We're supporting emergency services vehicles, delivery vehicles and critical service providers that break down.
  • Interstate auto clubs have procedures in place closely aligned with our own.
    Membership

    If you need to renew, pay or change your Membership details, you can use online self-service or call 13 11 22. If you take advantage of your NRMA Blue benefits, please be aware that some of our partners have also changed the way they operate, so it’s best to check with them individually for detailed information.

    Insurance

    For any NRMA Insurance enquiries, changes or payments, please note that some branches and kiosks are temporarily closed. Check which branches are open or get help online at nrma.com.au or by calling 132 132. Please note, that customers must book an appointment before attending any branch or kiosk.

    Driver training

    We're still open and have implemented a number of changes to how we operate, including tightly controlled protections and hygiene protocols to minimise the spread of the coronavirus. View the latest from NRMA driver training.

    We’ve made some changes to our driver training programs for businesses including the launch of webinars which provide contactless and COVID safe driver training – suitable for remote learning and businesses that need to continue to promote road safety and are unable to complete face to face training.

    Keeping you informed

    Lockdown measures in the fight against COVID-19 have unsurprisingly raised questions around how we use our vehicles, with Members curious on everything from maintaining their car to registration and insurance.

    In Cars, driving and COVID-19: your questions answered we untangle some of the confusion you may have around your vehicle during this time. We'll keep these frequently asked questions and answers as up to date as possible. Please also reach out to us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram if you have any questions.

    Please be aware that while our security protocols evolve to meet the changing environment, your information remains safe and secure at all times.

    Let’s move forward together

    We're all in this together, so let's help each other by staying patient, following public health advice, getting tested and staying home if we experience symptoms, plus looking out for each other and for those more vulnerable in the community. 

    How to avoid breaking down at a COVID-19 testing location

    We're seeing many more calls from Members with flat batteries after waiting in line at testing locations.
