How does the road side assist work interstate?

I have the most basic plan with RACQ and the callout and tow distance is 65 km only. I live in sunshine coast and what happens if I break down in coffs harbour? would they just say you are out of our range? or they have third party there?

You ring the racq as normal and they will organise the tow.
Tow will be to the closest repairer. If it’s over the 65km then you will probably have to pay a fee but that is policy dependent.
My AANT policy gives 300km towing but also has a $ amount that can be used for towing, accommodation etc.

What shep said. The 65km bit is how far they will tow at no charge to a repairer.

If you travel a bit, consider upgrading the basic RACQ to something more comprehensive with RACQ.

Even if your Jeep has missed a few services or is more than 10 years old, you're still entitled to Lifetime Roadside Assistance.

With Service Activated Roadside Assist, much of the Roadside Assistance program you receive with a new vehicle is still intact - although there are reduced benefits in some areas; e.g. the towing limit is reduced to 100km and emergency accommodation under this program only allows for 1 day / night.
