G'day all,

Cheers

The Club 4x4 offers the optional extra off road recovery cover of either ‘Up to $15,000’ for an extra $145 a year, or ‘Up to $30,000’ for an extra $255 per year.
Can anyone give me a current ‘ball park figure’ as to what it would cost to get my Patrol recovered to a gazetted road from say either mid Simpson, or mid Canning Stock Route, to help me decide what cover to take?
Simpson - $5,000 +/- 50%
Canning - depends where but can be best of luck - plagon of woobla to an Ericcson Sky Crane maybe?
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...:p

Phew!
Well as of 4 days ago we are now insured with Club 4x4. We don't currently have the optional extra remote area recovery cover, but I think it will provide us with the necessary peace of mind when we renew next year.

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
Yes was wondering that my self we used RACV road side assist when the beast died
we never paid out and have'nt heard from them either
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)Quote:

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.
You can cancel your current one and get paid out on what's owing.Quote:

Be nice to have more applicable cover.
Reckon I will contact Shannons to see about cancelling the policy I have, could get an extra bit off from Club 4x4 as I have roadside assist.
Sometimes they do stuff like that to sign you up.
I was with Shannons until last week, but have just switched to Club 4x4. Premium was over $200 less with a more realistic $11k higher agreed value. The process of getting a quote was so much easier than with many other companies. As a new company they seem to be making significant inroads into our market segment quite quickly because, I think, their product is what people want. Being new I guess there is a degree of risk - will they last?, will they handle claims well? Time will tell on those things, but they seem to be doing things right so far, so I was happy to give them a go. The more folk who do this, the better their long term future looks.Quote:

So the Off-Road Recovery Cover we offer is basically a financial compensation offer. You arrange the recovery, we reimburse you if everything checks out.
That make sense?

None of it is possible without feedback and we take that very seriously.
Regarding your latter comment - no one in the market offers off-road recovery cover (to my knowledge anyway!!) which is precisely why Avo for example says he's never heard of anyone doing things this way - plain and simply because no one has ever come out and offered this before!
Hi club 4x4.
Just a quick q in regauds to the remote recovery limits..
Are these an option which can be added for the remote trip itself??
A lot of us don't get remote more than once a year and others even less..
Seems a waste to have it for a once in a year trip.. or even once every 10 years..
G'day biggqwesty,
At the moment you can only purchase it at the beginning of your policy, rather than purchasing it mid term.
I guess the thing would be to do the big trips takes planning, so generally you should have an idea you're going to do it at the beginning of your insurance renewal i'd imagine?
We never say never, but that's the decision we've taken as a business at the moment.
Cheers
Kal
Yea fair call on the planning of said trip..Quote:

Just reading this with great interest then I said to myself who ever started the 4x4 Club insurance must own a 4X4 to start with.
With all the others they probably have a list besides them what can and can not be bolted to a 4x4, Heres one for a customer of mine coming home from Mansfield was given a RWC because he had my front recovery points on, any thoughts on this I started making these over 10yrs
ago maybe more now eveyone copies mine, point being nearly every 4x4 will have a recovery point of some description fitted to there 4x4.
How can that make a 4x4 un RW, you are just replacing what was there with a stronger part that will do the job better and safer
Ha???? wtf.... Since when are front recovery points illegal?Quote:

If it is OK then the poor stiff who gets the RWC will pass no worries.
If it is not OK then a dodgy vehicle gets sorted out.
Not saying it is right or wrong or taking sides and def not sayin' the Recovery points are anything but top notch... just sayin' is all
It would be great if one could take out temporary extra cover for those once a year, if that, remote road trips. Kinda like taking out insurance when you go overseas. I do realise the recovery cost location depending, to the cost of what the extra cover might be, probably wont be viable for the insurer.Quote:

This is black and white, if it's a claimable event you are covered for getting the rig out.
2) Recovery for a non claimable event - If you break down, or get stuck (bogged etc) this is NOT a claimable event. Unlike any other insurer, our Off Road Recovery Cover will compensate you financially once you've gotten yourself out. Done a gearbox in the Simpson and you have no other way of getting out? if you don't have our cover, you are up for the costs to get out.
Every single one of our policies comes with $1500 worth of this cover included. But you can pay to get a higher level of coverage, up to 15k or 30k
Hope this clarifies things guy
Kal
But we're still up for initially costs for a claimable recovery and then have to apply for a rembursment??Quote:
