12 months Roadside Assistance under your Audi Service Initiated Roadside Assistance membership and 24 months Audi Service Initiated Roadside Assistance membership for Audi e-Tron models is provided by AWP Australia Pty Ltd ABN 52 097 227 177 trading as ‘Allianz Global Assistance’ (Allianz Global Assistance). Whenever you request roadside vehicle assistance under your membership, you will be making that request to Allianz Global Assistance, who will provide the services on the terms and conditions set out below. The terms and conditions contain exclusions and limitations.

In order to be eligible for roadside assistance, your vehicle must be a roadworthy well-maintained vehicle and have had the appropriate Audi scheduled service carried out by a participating Audi Authorised Servicing Dealer. If your vehicle is not a roadworthy well-maintained vehicle, we may still arrange a roadside assistance provider to service your callout but we will inform you of the cost that will be charged to provide you with assistance. This cost will be your responsibility.

e-tron models: Your vehicle must be at least 2 years old (from the original new car warranty start date) and no more than 9 years old (from the original new car warranty start date) and must not in any way be the subject of, or have the benefit of, any other roadside assistance policy.

All other Audi models: Your vehicle must be at least 3 years old (from the original new car warranty start date) and no more than 9 years old (from the original new car warranty start date) and must not in any way be the subject of, or have the benefit of, any other roadside assistance policy.

Your Service Initiated Roadside Assistance (SIRA) membership will be valid for:
- 24 months for Audi e-Tron vehicles;
- 12 months for all other Audi vehicles.

Once a roadside service provider has been called, it is important that you remain with your vehicle if it is safe to do so. Should we arrive at the scene of the breakdown and the vehicle is unattended, we will be unable to carry out any work and payment may be required for any subsequent call-outs to assist with the same incident. If you require assistance and have to leave your vehicle for safety reasons, please advise the customer service assistant at the time of the initial call.

Once our customer service assistant receives your call, we will provide general advice about the operation of your vehicle. If your vehicle is immobilised, we will provide an over-the-phone diagnosis (where possible) to get your vehicle mobilised.

Flat batteries can occur. If you find yourself immobilised with a battery problem, we will attend to your vehicle, test the battery for performance, jump-start the flat battery or coordinate a battery replacement if required. Should the battery still be covered under the warranty period, the battery replacement will be at no cost to you. However, if the battery is outside the warranty period and requires replacement, the cost of the replacement battery will be charged to you.

If your vehicle runs out of fuel, we will provide sufficient petrol, diesel or AdBlue (to a maximum of 10 litres) for you to travel to the nearest available petrol station. If you drive an LPG fuelled vehicle, we will tow your vehicle to the nearest petrol station, subject to the towing limits set out below. In the event that wrong fuel is added to the vehicle, towing to the nearest authorised repairer will be coordinated at your cost. If your vehicle is towed to an Audi dealer, we will provide $200 towards the cost of the tow.

If you find yourself with a flat tyre, we will change it with the vehicle’s serviceable spare wheel or use the tyre repair kit (if available). If your vehicle is not equipped with a spare wheel or tyre repair kit, we will transport the vehicle to your preferred Audi dealer, or an approved tyre outlet or authorised repairer, whichever is the nearest (subject to the towing/transportation limits). Should additional services be required beyond this due to multiple flat tyres, the spare tyre being unserviceable, replacement wheel studs/nuts not being available or locking wheel nut key not available, towing will be provided at your cost.

If you lose your keys or lock them in your vehicle, we will provide all reasonable assistance (subject to proof of ownership shown) to:
- locate and deliver a spare key or
- arrange for the driver to retrieve the spare key, if this is more practical; or
- gain access to your vehicle (once a consent and indemnity form has been signed by you).

In all other situations where the key is not available, we will arrange to transport the vehicle to an authorised repairer, where the appropriate entry methods may be used. We will not be responsible for any damage incurred, or for any repair costs that result from gaining access to the vehicle or moving the vehicle while it is locked. A limit of $150.00 (inc. GST) applies to this benefit. All additional costs are your responsibility.

If your vehicle cannot be mobilised at the breakdown location, we will deliver your vehicle to either the nearest Audi dealer, or your preferred Audi dealer, provided your preferred Audi dealer is no more than 40 kilometres beyond the nearest Audi dealer.
If the breakdown has occurred after business hours, we will arrange for your vehicle to be stored at a secure facility and delivered to the authorised repairer the next working day. For e-Tron models, we will arrange towing either to the nearest charging point, the nearest Audi dealer or to your home, whichever is the nearest within towing limits.

Following an accident, we will coordinate towing arrangements and will also provide advice on accident procedures. If required, we will coordinate alternative transport to enable you to continue your journey. All accident towing and alternative transport costs are your responsibility.
(Note that these costs, subject to the payment of any excess, may be recoverable from your insurance company under an appropriate insurance policy. You will be responsible for contacting your insurance company.)

We will attend and recover your vehicle from a bogged situation provided that reasonable and safe access is available to a conventional two wheel drive recovery vehicle and no other specialist equipment is necessary. If the vehicle cannot be accessed by a conventional two wheel drive recovery and/or specialist equipment is necessary, then all costs will be your responsibility.

If your vehicle suffers a breakdown and requires transportation to a repairer, we will coordinate transport of the attached caravan or trailer to the same repairer or nearest safe location at your cost.

If your vehicle cannot be mobilised due to a breakdown and must be transported to the nearest authorised repairer, we will provide one taxi ride per incident, to a maximum value of $100.00 (inc. GST) so you and your passengers can continue your journey to your intended destination.

If your vehicle is immobilised by a breakdown for more than 24 hours and you are more than 70 kilometres from your home, we will provide five (5) nights of accommodation up to the value of $150.00 (inc. GST) per night (room cost only) should you decide to remain with your vehicle while it is repaired locally, or if alternative transport is unavailable. Any amounts charged in excess of this limit will be at your cost. This benefit will stop once your vehicle has been repaired. In addition to five (5) nights of emergency accommodation, we will provide a rental vehicle for up to three (3) days to a value of $100.00 (inc. GST) per day.

If your vehicle is immobilised by a breakdown, we will provide a rental vehicle for up to ten (10) days. Any amount charged in excess of this limit will be at your cost. You will be responsible for all fuel costs, toll charges, insurance excess reduction, excess kilometre charges, any traffic infringements, relocation fees, any damage and any excess or insurance waivers on the rental vehicle. Rental vehicle benefits cease on the day the vehicle has been repaired. Cannot be used in conjunction with Emergency Accommodation &/or Alternative Transportation.

Should hotel accommodation or a rental vehicle be unavailable following the immobilisation of your vehicle due to a breakdown (for more than 24 hours) and you are more than 70 kilometres from your home, we will transport you and up to four of your passengers to your home or to your intended destination up to the value of $450.00 (inc. GST). Any amounts charged in excess of this will be at your cost.

Vehicle relocation will be provided where your vehicle has a breakdown more than 70 kilometres from your home and cannot be repaired on the same day. If you have left the vehicle to continue your journey, vehicle relocation will be provided to deliver the vehicle, once repaired, to your home or intended destination (whichever is the nearest) where the distance between you and the selected authorised repairer is greater than 70 kilometres. Alternatively, return transport will be provided to enable the driver to pick up the repaired vehicle.

Following a breakdown or accident, we will relay urgent messages to family, friends or business associates likely to be affected or concerned by the disruption or delay and/or provide advice on local transport options and alternatives.

Telephone legal advice is available from one of our preferred legal firms for preliminary advice on any matter involving the use or ownership of your vehicle. Advice is confidential and there are no consultation fees or telephone charges. It does not extend to written advice, preparation of briefs or personal interviews.

Urgent telephone medical advice provided by a qualified nurse or doctor is available 24 hours a day. Medical advice will also be extended to any direct family members if they are travelling with you or if they are at home while you are travelling. You will be responsible for all associated medical costs.

Should any unforeseen household emergency arise due to fire, flood, storm, earthquake or burglary, whilst travelling away from your home in your vehicle, we will arrange for the appropriate provider to attend the driver’s home and minimise further loss or damage and ensure personal safety. We will arrange the assistance, however, all repair costs, supervision and authorisation of repairs are your responsibility.
