If any component of your car is found to be defective in materials or workmanship (subject to policy conditions), we’ll repair or replace the defective components for you (some exclusions apply). We will also pay to replace any consumable items, such as oil, if required due to the repair of a failure covered by the policy.
Extended Warranty Insurance doesn’t cover you:
- If you’ve used your car outside normal operating conditions (e.g. taxi, loan or driving school car, rental car, motorsports, courier or fast-food delivery).
- Items with a limited working life (e.g. batteries, tyres, filters, hoses or brake pads and linings).
- If the failed parts are because you have a) neglected to properly maintain and service your car, b) had your car modified from factory specifications (e.g. conversion to LPG operation) or c) fitted with non-genuine parts.
- If you require any periodic replacement items as part of normal car maintenance, unless they are covered under the Additional Benefits section.
Other exclusions apply. For full details of these exclusions, refer to ‘What’s not covered’ in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).
How Extended Warranty Insurance works
A claim for repair or replacement components (including a towing and hire car expense).
- You have cover under Option 3 (3 year plan term up to 100,000km), which you purchased when your vehicle was 23 months old.
- Two years have elapsed since you purchased your vehicle, and you are now 11 months outside the manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty end date.
- You have driven 90,000km when your vehicle’s gearbox bearing fails prematurely.
- You are 300km from home when this occurs.
- As your vehicle cannot be driven, it is towed to the nearest Authorised Dealer at a cost of $200.
- Consequently, you also need a hire car to return to your home which costs $77.
- You contact us to lodge a claim under your PowerTorque Extended Warranty Insurance policy and the Dealer advises that your vehicle has been towed and you have incurred hire car expenses of $77 which are to be reimbursed to you.
- The repairs are assessed and authorised by us at a total cost of $5,500. The local Dealer undertakes these repairs.
| We will pay the following | Amount |
|---|---|
| Cost to repair your vehicle (we will pay this to your local Dealer |
$5,500 |
| PLUS | |
| Hire car expenses (we will pay this to you) | $77 |
| PLUS | |
| Towing expenses (we will pay towing company) | $200 |
The above is an example of how we pay a claim under an Extended Warranty Insurance policy and is not a term or condition of the policy wording. Please read the PDS for full details of what we cover, as well as what policy limits and exclusions apply.
How to buy
Check if Extended Warranty Insurance is right for you
A few things to consider before deciding:
- How long do you intend to keep the vehicle? i.e. will you own the vehicle longer than the original manufacturer’s warranty period?
- How far do you travel in your vehicle each year? i.e. will this exceed the maximum Extended Warranty Insurance term of cover (i.e. the km limit) before the original manufacturer’s warranty expires?
For example: You select a maximum 100,000km extended warranty plan, regularly drive 25,000km per year and have an original manufacturer’s warranty for 3 years at which point in time, your Extended Warranty Insurance policy would kick in. As you have already driven 75,000km after 3 years, obtaining Extended Warranty Insurance which expires once the vehicle travels 100,000km may not be beneficial for you as it would only be applicable for the fourth year. - Your financial position and ability/desire to meet your own repair costs should an event occur.
