Simpson - $5,000 +/- 50%
Canning - depends where but can be best of luck - plagon of woobla to an Ericcson Sky Crane maybe?
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Good Morning All,
I thought i'd jump on and share our latest testimonial. This time from a customer who had to lodge a claim on their Off-Road Recovery Cover.
We're proud that we were able to help Jeremie and Marie continue their trip of a lifetime.
“When we had a breakdown on the way back from a moonscaped 4WD track, 25 kms from Cocklebiddy, Nullarbor desert, we first thought that our trip would sadly end earlier than we had expected.
Thankfully as soon as we contacted Club 4X4, the process was clear and easy: they provided us advice regarding the recovery, answers about the next steps, and transparent information about the refund (5 business days after sending them all the invoices!).
Thanks to the Off Road Recovery Cover by Club 4X4 insurance, we could stay on our journey as planned!
We are 100% satisfied by the services provided and are really grateful to the Club 4X4 team who saved our wild Aussie experience!”
Marie & Jeremie

Cuppa - the bloke at Birdsville charges $400/hr from the minute he departs to the minute he gets back. If you were say stuck on the WAA line (about dead centre), and it took about 9hrs of straight hard driving from there to Birsdville for a Patrol, then I am guessing it would take the recovery truck an extra hour or three. Then add in time to load up, turn around and head back at a no-doubt much slower pace, then that starts to add up real quick... $8 or $9K I estimated.
By the way, this is the view if you are ever in that situation...
Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.

I am wondering why they had to outlay any monies if they were insured...never heard of this....can you explain why if one is insured as to why they had to outlay any money..
Cheers Neil

Don't forget to notify them of new engine number etc when you have done the fix mate. Might need them again one day. (hope not)

Enjoying the trips
Had a look at Club 4x4 quote page, ends up being about same cost as Shannons, BUT
Greater market value of basic ute, not a lot but some.
Greater value of add ons, a dollar value instead of a list and its 100% covered
Some funds toward recovery, (options to upgrade if required)
NRMA Roadside assist, (just paid it $199 bugger)
Pat Callanans mag for a year, ($75.00?)
Will certainly be talking to them in August when we have to renew our policy.
Cheers
Macca
