AAMI Rest Towns

Heading on a road trip this summer?

It’s important to take a break from driving every 2 hours to decrease your chances of fatigue.

Rest Towns is a new road safety initiative from AAMI, encouraging drivers to stop and rest in Aussie towns. Places that have a lot of recovering themselves to do, so by having a break in them you’ll be giving them a break too.

If you’re driving along a popular route this summer, keep an eye and ear out for rest stop recommendations from AAMI. And remember to always make sure to take regular breaks on long drives and make a rural town your rest stop.

Your road trip playlist, sorted.

To help you get road trip ready, we’ve created a 2-hour Spotify playlist generator so you can keep listening to your tunes until it’s time to pull over and rest. Plus, plan ahead with our rest stop recommendations to discover hidden gems along the way.
