BA10_GO
Advertised on the rider guide in the upcoming Great Ocean Road & Otway Classic Ride event guide PDF, offer is valid for new Bike Assist members only. This code expires a month later than the other deal, so it might be useful for those of us whose membership isn't quite due before the previous code expires.
Inclusions:
- RACV Member Benefits (Blue Card)
- 24/7 Assistance
- 8 call-outs a year, Victoria wide
- Explicitly approved reasons for call-outs include: Flats, Mechanical issues, Bad Weather and Rider Fatigue.
- Taxi for both you and bike up to $50 value per callout
If you have a folding bike or are willing to take your wheels off, you can also request a regular taxi instead of a maxi-cab to reduce waiting on the side of the road or to stretch your dollar further if you're right on the limit of the $50 callout. I've done this with my road bike before when they couldn't find a maxi-cab in the area. Obviously if your bike is filthy it's up to the taxi driver if they're willing to take you.
Some additional advice, you call through to the regular RACV roadside assistance call centre for this service, and they're usually used to dealing with car drivers calling up. So when they ask for your reason, you should simply give one of the above approved reasons as your answer. One of my mates had a simple spill and fell over due to slippery road and answered that he had "an accident" and the lady completely shutdown the conversation saying that he had to deal with insurance when all he wanted was a lift home. Obviously it varies depending on the call operator you get, but make it easy for yourself and never give "accident" as your response, it's just not worth the hassle.
