A flat tyre, flat battery or any type of breakdown can happen when you least expect it when you're out on the road in your car or on your motorcycle. Shannons Roadside Assist is a dedicated 24/7 roadside assistance service, available Australia-wide for your vehicle when you need it most.
Flat Battery
If your vehicle's battery is flat, we will jump-start it or arrange a replacement battery (at your cost) if required.
Emergency fuel
If your vehicle runs out of fuel, we will provide you with up to $10 free fuel to help you get to the nearest petrol station. Drive an LPG car? We'll tow you to the nearest petrol station or place of safety.
24/7 Unlimited Roadside Callouts
Shannons Roadside Assist provides 24/7 support. You're entitled to an unlimited number of callouts within your period of insurance (term and conditions apply).
Lost or locked-in keys
If your vehicle's keys are lost (but not stolen) or locked inside your vehicle, we will arrange for the spare key to be delivered or arrange to gain access to your vehicle. Refer to the benefit table below for the limits that apply.
Towing
If the vehicle cannot be mobilised and is considered a breakdown (including a Motor sport breakdown for Roadside Assist Ultimate), we will tow it to your choice of repairer as soon as practical. Refer to the benefit table below for the kilometre limits that apply. (All additional costs are at your cost)
Flat tyres
If you have a flat tyre, we will change it with your vehicle's serviceable spare wheel or transport your vehicle to an approved tyre outlet or nearest place of safety.
Passenger Transportation
In the event that your vehicle is towed, if you require transport to the repairer or your home, we will pay by reimbursement for your transport costs from the breakdown location. Refer to the benefit table below for the limits that apply.
Accommodation and/or Hire car
In the event that your vehicle is towed, and the breakdown location is more than 100km from the garaged address noted on your certificate, at your request, we will arrange and contribute up to $500 per annum by reimbursement for the accommodation and/or hire car.
Caravan and Trailer Assistance
In the event that your vehicle is towed after a breakdown, and it had been towing your caravan or trailer. We'll cover costs to transport your caravan or trailer to the same location as your vehicle or to the nearest place of safety. Remember, you must tell us at the time of the breakdown call that you're towing so we can ensure our provider can transport both your vehicle and the towed caravan or trailer.
