Ultra Roadside PREMIUM ASSIST
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE SERVICE?
In the event of a breakdown on the road or at home where the Vehicle can not be driven AP Fleet will perform whichever one of the services below at its sole discretion it deems to be necessary:
- Technical Assistance: will be given on the phone to diagnose the problem that may help to get the Vehicle running or;
- Minor Mechanical Repairs: Where in the reasonable opinion of AP Fleet or its authorized roadside contractor, such repairs can be satisfactorily & safely completed at the roadside and where the contractor has the necessary parts and equipment for the task at hand, or;
- Towing: In the event of a breakdown on the road or at home where the Vehicle cannot be driven, the Vehicle will be towed to the nearest Ultra Tune Auto Service Centre or other authorized AP Fleet repairer within the service limits. We will pay for the towing in Australia within the Service Limits. You must pay for the costs of towing outside the Service Limits. In any instance following Vehicle recovery where the member requests the Vehicle to be placed in storage, all costs associated with the storage and subsequent towing will be at the Member’s expense.
Please note:
We will not tow your Vehicle if it has been in an accident, has impact damage, or if mechanical failure has caused panel damage or impact damage, or where damage is as a result from any wilful or malicious act/s, or where any damage was caused as a result of Vehicle theft or attempted theft.
We will not tow your Vehicle if it is not, at our sole discretion, reasonably accessible and readily trafficable by a standard two wheel drive tow vehicle fitted with standard towing equipment (e.g. low roof car park, at the back of a building, etc), or where it is loaded beyond it's legal limit, or where it is considered not otherwise safe to move or transport. Towing will be provided to your Vehicle provided standard towing equipment can be used and any surcharges re use of special equipment such as go jacks / jinkers / winches and/or use of heavy capacity towing equipment, will be at driver’s expense.
Transport of passengers is not covered under this product. However we can assist you to arrange a taxi at the driver's expense.
- Flat Battery: Where our consultants determine your Vehicle has a flat battery, where appropriate we will try to start it using surge protected jumper leads or, if we ascertain that the battery ran flat as a result of some other primary cause, eg. Failed charging system or other electrical or starter fault, the Vehicle will be towed to an AP Fleet accredited service provider at AP Fleet’s discretion within the Service Limits. If the battery needs to be replaced, then at the member’s request and expense we will assist you to arrange for a mobile battery replacement service where available.
Please Note:
Re item 4, Flat Battery. A subsequent call-out for the same reason within the same 24 hour period will be only provided at the customer's expense. Further, following a call-out for a flat battery or other "no start" situation as described above, where the primary cause of the "no start situation" is a faulty battery, faulty charging, electrical or starting system component, this fault/s must be rectified by a suitably qualified service centre before the vehicle can qualify for further roadside assistance regarding the same matter. A subsequent call-out for assistance where the "no start situation" is due to a required repair not being attended to, assistance will be provided at the customer's expense.
- Out of Fuel: If your Vehicle runs out of fuel, up to $12.50 worth of fuel will be supplied at the roadside. Where this is not possible for any safety related or any other reason, (eg. LPG fuelled Vehicles, or where packaged petrol or diesel is not physically available at roadside,) the Vehicle will be towed to the nearest fuel outlet within the Service Limits and any fuel purchased will be at the member’s expense.
- Tyre Change Assistance: If within the service limits your Vehicle has a flat tyre and you require assistance, we will arrange to change your flat tyre and replace it with the spare tyre supplied with your Vehicle. We can assist you to change the tyre providing the correct, serviceable and inflated spare tyre is available in the Vehicle and that the vehicles own serviceable jack and wheel brace/tools are readily accessible within the vehicle for use by the contractor. If we cannot change the tyre for any safety related or any other reason, eg. Deflated spare tyre, missing locknut keys, faulty wheel studs or nuts, faulty or missing tyre changing equipment, vehicle in unsafe position, angle or on unstable terrain; then at the service provider’s sole discretion, a tow will be provided to the nearest tyre repairer at your expense. Where a tyre/wheel assembly is deemed too heavy (OH&S) for one person to lift/manoeuvre and where the assistance of a second contractor is required, this will be provided at the driver’s expense.
-
Lockouts: If you have locked your keys within your vehicle or lost your keys, then subject to satisfactory proof of driver identification and with the Vehicle owner’s authority we can refer a service provider to assist entry to the vehicle or a taxi to fetch a spare key. We will pay up to the first $55.00 (inclusive of GST) of any callout for a lockout situation.
Please Note:
Re item 7, Lockouts. Attempting to gain entry to your vehicle by any other means other than a key or keyless transponder can result in damage to your vehicle. AP Fleet and its contractors will not accept liability for any damage caused as a result of gaining entry or attempting to gain entry to your vehicle.
Call Limits
You are entitled to three (3) call-outs per year in total. A call-out is a response to a request for assistance where a service vehicle has been dispatched and/or where action is taken to fetch spare keys or have new keys cut/purchased, eg. Taxi/courier service or locksmith service. Call-outs, which are not used by the expiry date, will be forfeited. If you exhaust the service call outs during the course of the term, we will assist you to arrange the service you require at your own expense.
Regarding “Item 3, Towing”; where your Vehicle has been delivered to an authorized AP Fleet repairer within the service limits, the call out is deemed to have been completed and any request for a second tow to an alternate repairer or other location is not covered within the terms and conditions of this policy; in this instance at the member’s request and expense, we will assist you to arrange a re-tow of the Vehicle.
