Help@OUT will come to the rescue of our car insurance clients when you need us most. We can just imagine how helpless you must feel if your car breaks down, even if it's only a few kilometers away from home.
We'll arrange a towing service and stay in contact with you until help arrives. OUTsurance will cover all costs relating to the towing and storage of the vehicle - giving you peace of mind that your vehicle is in good hands.
If you have a flat battery, flat tyre or accidentally locked your keys in your car - we'll pay the call-out fee and first hour of labour.
Want to know the really great part? If your car breaks down and you are further than 50 km from home, we'll get you sorted with overnight accommodation or alternative transport as needed. We'll also cover the cost for the safe repatriation of your car.
