Roadside Assistance.
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 if required, arrange a replacement battery under warranty[2] or coordinate the supply of any battery outside the warranty period the cost of which you may be responsible for.
If your vehicle runs out of fuel, we will provide sufficient petrol or diesel free of charge for you to travel to the nearest available refuelling facility. If you drive an LPG fuelled vehicle, we will tow your vehicle to the nearest refuelling facility, at your cost. If you drive an Electric vehicle, we will tow you to the nearest charging station. Please note, you may be required to pay for charging services.
If your vehicle experiences a flat tyre, we will establish if it is equipped with run flat safety tyres. If it is, we will provide support in accordance with run flat safety protocol. Otherwise, we will send assistance and attempt to mobilise your vehicle. Where mobilisation is not possible, we will tow your vehicle to the nearest tyre supplier, Authorised Mercedes-Benz Service Retailer, or preferred Authorised Mercedes-Benz Service Retailer within 50 kilometres of the incident (excludes the cost of any necessary replacement tyres).
If you lose your keys or lock them in your vehicle, we will either retrieve a spare key from your home or gain access to your vehicle, subject to proof of ownership or right to drive the vehicle[3]. (Any costs for this service in excess of $170 inclusive of GST, labour, parts and taxes, will be charged to you).
Where it is safe to do so and at our discretion we will recover your vehicle from a bogged situation—such as in sand, snow, or mud—on a trafficable road. That is a public or private constructed road or driveway that is legally passable and safe for conventional two-wheel drive recovery vehicles. Road or driveway-related areas immediately adjoining the road or driveway itself, such as road shoulders, breakdown lanes, median and parking places are included.
Should specialist equipment and/or towing become necessary, or where the vehicle is off a constructed road or driveway, all additional costs above a standard call-out rate of $150 (inclusive of GST) will be your responsibility, unless your vehicle is covered under Premium Road Care. Under Premium Road Care, all costs associated with bogged vehicle recovery, including specialist equipment, are covered.
If your vehicle requires towing and is towing a caravan or trailer, we will move it to a safe location and arrange transportation to the same destination as the vehicle, provided the caravan or trailer can be safely towed by our passenger car transporter. If your caravan or trailer is too large or cannot be safely towed by our passenger car transporter, and a second tow truck is required to deliver service, the cost will be your responsibility.
It is your responsibility to inform our customer service assistant that your vehicle is towing a caravan or trailer prior to a service provider being dispatched to assist you. If you do not tell us, we may not be able to assist you, and if we do you will be responsible for any/all subsequent costs associated with the caravan or trailer towing.
This service does not extend to breakdown related matters associated with the caravan or trailer itself or caravan and trailer couplings where your vehicle is still mobile.
Should you require emergency accommodation, we will endeavour to arrange such at discounted rates where available. All costs are your responsibility[3].
