Safety first
If your car has broken down in a hazardous location, please tell us when you call and ensure you aren't exposed to danger from passing traffic. Stay with your car Once you've called us, it's vital that you remain with your car. If our provider arrives at the scene of the breakdown and your car is unattended, we will be unable to carry out any work and payment may be required for any subsequent callouts for the same incident. If you have to leave your car for safety reasons, please tell us when you call.
Wil-Tow Roadside Assist benefits and conditions
Roadside assistance
Where we can and it is safe to do so we will arrange for the rectification of the most common breakdown related problems, including inflation of a flat tyre, replacement of a flat tyre with your car's serviceable spare and jump-starting of a flat battery. Where appropriate, we may provide you with practical tips or advice, on a reasonable endeavours basis, in relation to simple car operation, any safety warnings or lights that may appear or practical information about your car. However, if major parts or factory diagnostic equipment is required, your car will be transported to the Nearest Repairer. The cost of repairs, including labour and any required parts, will then be your responsibility. Roadside Assist call outs services are limited to 4 service calls per annum. Any additional call outs will be charged to you.
Flat batteries
If your car's battery is flat we will jump start it or arrange a replacement battery if required. Whilst we do not cover the cost of the replacement battery, we can arrange for one to be supplied as part of our service.
Emergency fuel
If your car runs out of fuel we will arrange for the delivery of enough fuel to allow you to reach the nearest petrol station. If you drive an LPG fuelled car, we will tow your car to the nearest petrol station or nearest place of safety (see Towing). The fuel delivery is free. The maximum value of fuel provided is $10.
Flat tyres
If you have a flat tyre, we will change it wit h your car's serviceable spare wheel or transport your car to an approved tyre outlet or nearest place of safety (see Towing). Should additional services be required, these services will be your responsibility.
Locked keys
Where your car's key has been locked inside your car, we will contribute up to $75, by reimbursement, to either arrange for the spare key to be delivered or arrange for a locksmith to attend. In the event you insist that your car be broken into, to recover keys locked inside it or for any other reason, we will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for any resultant loss or damage that occurs to your car. This break-in service may not be offered by each of our providers.
Towing
If the car cannot be mobilised on the roadside, we will tow it to the Nearest Repairer as soon as practical. Towing is provided free of charge up to 10km from the breakdown location within a capital city or major town, or up to 1O km from the breakdown location in a regional area. Please note that all additional towing costs and any repair costs (not described in 'Roadside assistance' above) are your responsibility, and are payable at the time of the service.
Help with organising the tow of your caravan and trailer
In the event that your car is towed after a breakdown and it had been towing your caravan or trailer, where our service provider offers this service, we can assist you in organising the tow of your caravan or trailer, to the same location as your car or to the nearest place of safety. If you need this assistance, you must tell us at the time of the original breakdown call that you're towing. There is no cover for any towing fee under this section; we only help with organising the tow, e.g. making phone calls. We may only assist with organising the towing of a caravan or trailer that weighs up to 2.75 tonnes.
