That's interesting.

RACV down here are very good. They cover both the person who takes out the cover (for any car they may be driving at any given time), and one or more specific vehicles (for whoever may be driving them at the time).
They of course have various levels of cover, starting with Basic (roadside assist in any state (reciprocal arrangements with RACQ, RACSA, NRMA etc) with 3 free tows a year to a max of 50km I think), to which you can add extras (caravans, trailers, accomodation etc) or increase the levels of cover (which may have extras included). I'd have to ask Mel the cost - around $100 a year I think for basic.

Had cause to use them a few weeks back when the Volvo's alternator failed. Got free tow home without bothering with roadside assist, no questions asked. There within 45 mins on a Saturday afternoon. Can't argue with that service!

They offer insurance too, but I've always found them expensive for cars I've owned - I'm sure they're cheap for Yaris owners!
