    $500 Insurance excess coverage for the platinum.

    If I have comprehensive car insurance setup with an excess of $800 and in the event of an accident, does it mean I can claim $500 from Allianz and $300 to be paid from my pocket ?

    • easternculture on 09/06/2016 - 00:34

      That was my understanding, pretty sweet deal if that's the case

          They are also offering $100 off car tint at Tint-a-Car. Probably can be stacked with this month offer from Tint a Car: Get Octane Darkest Legal on your car and receive $100 off the total price of the tint! Offer expires 30/06/2016.

          That makes it $200 off !

        • Frost2468 on 09/06/2016 - 07:54

          What is the full cost of something like this? Very interested

        • easternculture on 09/06/2016 - 09:09

          @Frost2468:

          no info on website. i think you need to call or visit for a quote

          +2

          @Frost2468: From when we did it a couple of years ago, the approximate price will be around $500, but it can vary based on the model and also the tint quality. For example a ute has less windows so can be cheaper. You might shop around because each tint-a-car may give different quotes.

      I can't find anywhere on the Allianz website that states that they will cover $500 of your excess. it looks like that is provided by 360Assist - has anyone dealt with 360Assist (Fixed Price Car Service)?

    • bob19 on 11/06/2016 - 02:43

      The only issue I can see here is that they pay $500 towards your excess "in the event of a police reported at fault collision".
      So, if it is not a major accident and/or not reported to police, they can refuse to pay.

  • michaelj08 on 09/06/2016 - 00:48

    How do you think they would compare with NRMA's rural and regional coverage?

    • wallet72 on 09/06/2016 - 06:45
      +9

      I took this deal a few years ago and won't do it again. Their service is ok when it arrives, but they do not have the coverage and roadside 'vans' that NRMA do. We needed them three times and each time the wait was over 2 hours, then in one instance another 2 hour wait for their tow truck. We've never had that kind of wait with NRMA.

      I should say there was never a problem with the roadside assistance staff when they arrived, I just think they don't have enough of them.

      So it's a good deal as long as you are patient.

      • windrc on 09/06/2016 - 08:39

        Were you within metropolitan area or rural at that time?

        • wallet72 on 09/06/2016 - 10:56

          Sunshine Coast - not exactly the middle of nowhere.

          I know what you are getting at, but same area with NRMA and we didn't have the long waits we had with Allianz.

    • Islund on 09/06/2016 - 07:33

      Last year I needed them when broken down in Juno Parade, Greenacre.

      The patrolman arrived way outside the time given to me by the operator and, he did not have a wrench.

      Said that his wrench has broken the day before and he had not had time to fix it.

      • JetBombat on 09/06/2016 - 21:42

        Did he take off after that?

        • Islund on 11/06/2016 - 21:14

          he suggested I drive to the nearest garage and kept on going in the other direction

        • virhlpool on 09/07/2016 - 16:33

          @Islund: Right. But what happened eventually? Could they help you get back on road at all?

    • tonester on 09/06/2016 - 10:02

      my guess is probably not as good, but in metro areas, on par, from experience in melbourne compared with racv :)

    • tunzafun001 on 09/06/2016 - 11:02

      I thought all these services would ultimately come back to being serviced by the RAA/ NRMA etc. After being stuck on the side of the road for 6 hrs with the RAA and ultimately fixing it myself I might consider this (though the 2003 disclaimer is a put off).

      • hayne on 09/06/2016 - 18:45

        No, Allianz has their own roadside assistance business (used to be Mondial Assistance) so it's not serviced by the AAA clubs (which to my understanding is a loose umbrella organisation sitting on top of the state auto clubs, e.g. NRMA, RACQ, RACV etc.).

  • skd22 on 09/06/2016 - 01:00

        After buying the coupon, what determines the starting date?
        Is it the date when I sign up with Allianz with the coupon code?

        EDIT: I found out that "Redeem by: 07 Sep 2016"

        • tghtarse on 09/06/2016 - 08:44

          I think the deal says that the cover starts straight after redumption. My allianz roadside assist expires in early August 2016 so I am happy for it to overlap for 1 month given the cheap price.

  • skd22 on 09/06/2016 - 01:04

    • tonester on 09/06/2016 - 10:06

      compared with racv, on par in melbourne from experience, but i'm guessing probably not as good in rural areas

      Last month i forget the hazard light on while i was in Star casino. I called them around 10-11AM and they were there within 45min, the only issue i had is having them understand that im inside the car park and i need someone to get inside the carpark to help as they kept waiting me outside(Maybe they dont want to pay Star expensive car park) i end up going to him outside and guide him to the carpark!

        • Bnjam3 on 09/06/2016 - 20:00

          Is it really hard to understand that someone is waiting in the casino car park? The guy kept waiting in the street instead of getting in the carpark while i clearly mentioned to him that im in the underground parking.

      • WazzaP on 09/06/2016 - 18:50

        This is standard with all roadside assistance and large car parks (shopping centers, casino etc), they don't want to get there and have to drive up and down every aisle to find you (especially with you likely sitting inside the car waiting) so they either meet you at a designated point or at the entry to the car park and you guide them to your car.
        They wouldn't have to pay for parking at the star as they're just going in to jump start your car, and would just need to buzz an operator to have them open the gate for them on the way out.

        • Bnjam3 on 09/06/2016 - 20:01

          I cant complain about it as i got the roadside assistance for free with kmart logbook servicing.

    $500 breakdown cover is a joke if you read T&Cs. Overall value us good though.

    • nickj on 09/06/2016 - 10:25
      +1

      Could not agree more. For anyone else refer to section 3 of this: https://www.fixedpricecarservice.com.au/product/360assist/te…
      I.e. you have to had it serviced in the past 30 days, but only at one of their approved repairers, and the car has to breakdown (not an accident), and you have to get it towed, and it has to be towed to another one of their approved repairers, and that approved repairer has to be able to fix it.

      Also the $500 at-fault excess cover has some potentially weird provisions too: https://www.fixedpricecarservice.com.au/documents/roadreward…
      To be covered you need to either a "Dealer invoice" or a "Membership Certificate", which is "as supplied by Your Motor Dealer when Your vehicle has been serviced, repaired or purchased". So how that coverage applies when you buy online, rather than from a dealership (either as a new car, serviced car, or repaired car), is not something that I understand. Also you must file a police report with 48 hours of the at-fault accident - and I imagine a lot of people forget to do that until they realize too late that they needed to do it to be covered.

      • engineeringprof on 09/06/2016 - 13:12

        The at-fault requirements aren't too bad, police filing of a report is not hard to do and you just click some buttons online

        • catchganu on 10/06/2016 - 10:57

          The AtFault $500 excess is provided Not by Fixed Price even — it is by another company code Road rewards and i have called them up to clarify… they are yet to ring back…

          will update…when i receive the call.

        • catchganu on 10/06/2016 - 14:36

          @catchganu:

          Phoned again and understood that RoadRewards ( 1300 133 703 ) provides this complementary cover…

          1) Works even when you purchase online - u just need to keep the receipt or invoice…

          2) Only for At Fault

          3) Police complaint is a must within 48 hrs

          Hope this helps.

  • Chongy on 09/06/2016 - 08:39

    New to Groupon, how do you use the WELCOME deal as it just goes straight to payment without an option to enter anywhere.

  • Chthonic on 09/06/2016 - 08:39

    Can someone explain to me how this works? I'm a moron.

    I'm assuming this is basically just insurance and it doesn't cost anything if you get a flat tyre, battery etc but the $500 excess is if you crash the car or something?

    • BangkokBreakfast on 09/06/2016 - 08:49

      If you crash, they pay you $500 towards your excess. Not sure the T&C though

      • unco on 09/06/2016 - 08:54

        It says at fault police-reported accident, so even if it's a minor one, get a police report done.

        • uggugg on 09/06/2016 - 10:43

          I thought the police will only attend the scene if it involves injury.

          @uggugg:
          You can usually report things like that at a police station afterwards. Just need to do it within 48 hours of the accident to satisfy that condition.

        • WazzaP on 09/06/2016 - 18:55

          @Miss B: Even easier, report it via the police assistance line over the phone and get a report number (can likely also report it online, haven't had to fortunately).

      Last time I don't think they put it in the T&Cs and people found out later. Some were still able to use it with an older vehicle, I think it depended on who they spoke to. Also, it was 2013, so it may have been a 10-year old vehicle rule.

      There's a bit of a discussion on the old deal here.

  • plmko on 09/06/2016 - 10:05

    "Opt for additional excess cover to help ease the financial worry if you’re involved in a police-reported accident in which you are at fault"

    So you have to report it to the police and say you are at fault? Then wouldn't you be admitting fault, and you'd be going against your main insurance policy terms?

    • SydOzber on 09/06/2016 - 10:07

      I thought we need to report it to the police if we have to claim from the comprehensive cover ?
      pls correct me if am wrong.

      • plmko on 09/06/2016 - 10:17

        Police reports are never necessary for any insurance claims, it's usually when the drivers involved are in disagreement (other driver not giving you basic info) or the crash is serious enough that you need traffic control.

        Anyway my point is you have to have to do a "police-reported accident in which you are at fault" but the thing is insurance companies don't want you to admit "you are at fault" even if it was damn obvious you are at fault.

        • nickj on 09/06/2016 - 10:33

          I think you can just report it to the police, without saying who is at fault. Last time I filled in one of those forms with NSW police, you had to say when the accident happened, where it happened, which parts of the vehicles collided, give your name, address, license, rego, phone number, and the other driver's name, address, rego, license and phone number, and then you have to describe in words the facts of what happened. I don't recall anywhere on the form where you had to say who was at fault - it's usually obvious from the road rules and details given, but you don't explicitly state it on the form. However this was over 10 years ago, so maybe they've changed the form.

        • plmko on 09/06/2016 - 10:37

          @nickj:

          There's no problem giving a police report, and perhaps the line in the ad is just phrased badly. But if true, it's not very helpful.

        • nickj on 09/06/2016 - 11:00

          @plmko: Yeah I think it's just badly phrased. I.e. you have an accident, call your insurer that day, them what happened. Then if they determine that you at fault (i.e. need to pay an excess), then go report it to police that day or the next day, and then claim $500 off the excess through the excess cover. I think that's what they're saying. Basically it's like insurance for your insurance … what a time to be alive!

  • browser on 09/06/2016 - 10:25

    After purchase, you have 3 months to redeem, so you don't have to overlap your existing roadside assist membership until September.
