Roadside Assistance

If our customer service assistant is unable to assist you over the telephone, we will dispatch a service provider who will arrange a minor roadside mechanical repair of your immobilised vehicle to facilitate the immediate mobilisation of the vehicle.

It does not include workshop repairs which may require diagnostic equipment, parts or repairs and does not include servicing of the vehicle.

We will pay for the cost of items such as hose clamps, light bulbs, coolant top-ups, nuts, bolts and the like to get your vehicle back on the road.

Flat batteries can occur. If you find yourself immobilised with a battery problem, we will attend to your vehicle, test the battery for performance, jump start the flat battery or coordinate a battery replacement if required. The cost of the replacement battery will be charged to you.

If your vehicle runs out of fuel, we will provide sufficient petrol, diesel or AdBlue (to a maximum of 10 litres) for you to travel to the nearest available petrol station. If you drive an LPG fuelled vehicle, we will tow your vehicle to the nearest petrol station, subject to the towing limits set out below. In the event that wrong fuel is added to the vehicle, towing to the nearest authorised repairer will be coordinated at your cost.

If you find yourself with a flat tyre, we will change it with the vehicle’s serviceable spare wheel or use the tyre repair kit (if available). If your vehicle is not equipped with a spare wheel, we will transport the vehicle to your preferred Audi dealer, or an approved tyre outlet or authorised repairer, whichever is the nearest (subject to the towing/ transportation limits). Should additional services be required beyond this due to multiple flat tyres, the spare tyre being unserviceable, replacement wheel studs/nuts not being available or locking wheel nut key not available, towing will be provided at your cost.

If you lose your keys or lock them in your vehicle, we will provide all reasonable assistance (subject to proof of ownership shown) to:

• locate and deliver a spare key or
• arrange for the driver to retrieve the spare key, if this is more practical; or
• gain access to your vehicle (once a consent and indemnity form has been signed by you).

In all other situations where the key is not available, we will arrange to transport the vehicle to an authorised repairer, where the appropriate entry methods may be used. We will not be responsible for any damage incurred, or for any repair costs that result from gaining access to the vehicle or moving the vehicle while it is locked. A limit of $150 (inc. GST) applies to this benefit. All additional costs are your responsibility.

If your vehicle cannot be mobilised at the breakdown location, we will deliver your vehicle to either the nearest Audi dealer, or your preferred Audi dealer, provided your preferred Audi dealer is no more than 40 kilometres beyond the nearest Audi dealer. If the breakdown has occurred after business hours, we will arrange for your vehicle to be stored at a secure facility and delivered to the authorised repairer the next working day.

Please note that any additional towing costs (including costs for specialist equipment i.e. go jacks) are your responsibility.

If your vehicle cannot be mobilised due to a breakdown and must be transported to a repairer, we will provide one taxi ride per incident, to a maximum value of $100 (inc. GST) per incident so you and your passengers can continue your journey to the nearest town or within the same city where the breakdown occurred.

If your vehicle is immobilised by a breakdown for more than 24 hours and you are more than 70 kilometres from your home, the following emergency travel benefits will apply:

Emergency Accommodation

We will provide five (5) nights of accommodation up to the value of $150.00 (inc. GST) per night (room cost only) should you decide to remain with your vehicle while it is repaired locally, or if alternative transport is unavailable. Any amounts charged in excess of this limit will be at your cost. This benefit will stop once your vehicle has been repaired.

In addition to five (5) nights of emergency accommodation, we will provide a rental vehicle for up to three (3) days to a value of $100 (inc. GST) per day.

Rental Vehicle

If you do not take up the option of emergency accommodation and elect to continue your journey whilst your vehicle is being repaired, we will provide a rental vehicle for up to five (5) days to a value of $500.00 (inc. GST). Any amount charged in excess of this limit will be at your cost. You will be responsible for all fuel costs, toll charges, insurance excess reduction, excess kilometre charges, any traffic infringements, relocation fees, any damage and any excess or insurance waivers on the rental vehicle. Rental vehicle benefits cease on the day the vehicle has been repaired.

GST). Any amounts charged in excess of this will be at your cost.

Vehicle Relocation

Vehicle relocation will be provided where your vehicle has a breakdown more than 70 kilometres from your home and cannot be repaired on the same day. If you have left the vehicle to continue your journey, vehicle relocation will be provided to deliver the vehicle, once repaired, to your home or intended destination (whichever is the nearest) where the distance between you and the selected authorised repairer is greater than 70 kilometres. Alternatively, return transport will be provided to enable the driver to pick up the repaired vehicle.

Following an accident, we will coordinate towing arrangements and will also provide advice on accident procedures. If required, we will coordinate alternative transport to enable you to continue your journey. All accident towing and alternative transport costs are your responsibility.

(Note that these costs, subject to the payment of any excess, may be recoverable from your insurance company under an appropriate insurance policy)

Following a breakdown or accident, we will relay urgent messages to family, friends or business associates likely to be affected or concerned by the disruption or delay and/or provide advice on local transport options and alternatives.

Advice is confidential and there are no consultation fees or telephone charges. It does not extend to written advice, preparation of briefs or personal interviews.

We will arrange the assistance, however, all repair costs, supervision and authorisation of repairs are your responsibility.

Urgent telephone medical advice provided by a qualified nurse or doctor is available 24 hours a day. Medical advice will also be extended to any direct family members if they are travelling with you or if they are at home while you are travelling. You will be responsible for all associated medical costs.
