Club 4X4 - Insurance for 4X4 Enthusiasts

[the evil twin]

snip...
I may have it wrong, but thought that the likes of the RACV would recover it's members (with top cover) from any gazetted road/track.

Dunno about other states but that is not the case with RAC.

You have to be within 'x' kilometres of the service centre IE town.
The 'x' depends on the level of cover but highest is, I think, 100 K's and the 'road' has to be 2WD IE they won't go and hire a specialist to come get you.

I think they call it 'non-guaranteed service' and it means if you are not on a 2WD road they will help you source assistance but you have to pay for it
In WA that is, you guessed it, most of WA

From the RAC PDS....

Trafficable Road
means any public or private road, which is
designed for, and is in a suitable state to facilitate, the movements
of a two-wheel drive motor vehicle without restriction.


Un-constructed Surface
means an unsealed or
un-constructed surface which is not trafficable by a two wheel
drive vehicle.

Un-constructed Surfaces and non Trafficable Roads:
Breakdowns which occur on Un-constructed Surfaces or
non Trafficable Roads will be attended at the discretion of
the RAC or RAC Contractors, with any excess cost payable
by the Member at the time of service.

Bogged Vehicles:
Vehicles bogged on an Un-constructed
Surface or non Trafficable Road will be attended at the
discretion of the RAC. The time spent in recovery of bogged
Vehicles and/or equipment used in such a recovery is
payable by the Member to the RAC or the RAC Contractor
at the time of service. The cost of travelling to the Vehicle is
covered by the Roadside Assistance Package to the extent
of the applicable distance limits. The Member is responsible
for paying any excess cost at the time of service. Service
does not extend to a Vehicle that has been damaged as the
result of being bogged.

Out on the Great Central I had to provide Credit Card info up front before the truck would leave Yulara.
No CC or no Cash then no Flat bed
