    Im pretty sure its not, IIRC the UVP covers your TAC if you injure somone on the road. Third party from an insurer covers you for damage to another vehicle.

    Compulsory Third-party (CTP) only covers injury and/or death to other people.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    I thought he ment 3rd party accident cover I relised that a bit after RACV Total Care see its something we dont have to think about down here, it should be included in your rego country wide IMO. Sure it stings hard at $800 a year for rego but at least your covered while your car is registered.
    Cheers

    It is part of the rego, but can be arranged beforehand on line or at a number of agencies. It also can be paid for at Transport, when regoing a vehicle.

    Just adding to this thread I have discovered a few changes in RACV Total Care that seem to make it a little less total than it used to be. I'm wondering what else people have done to cover themselves;

    • Towing is limited to 100km or the depot, whichever is the least. (Used to be unlimited! Beyond this 100km its now your problem to negotiate with the towie and I was told you can't used the $2400 accom/hire car allowance to put towards the towing bill.
    • You need to get the car to the hard stuff yourself (nothing new here, supposed to be 2wd tracks but its up to the discretion of the tow truck driver)
    • Shannons insurance are now offering their own roadside assist with the same towing limits but only $200 to get you and your traveling mates home.
    • Interestingly Club 4x4 (I'm waiting for a quote from them) will chip in $1500 to recovery costs to get you out of wherever you are including a simple bogging (only one claim per year), you can extend this to $15000/$30000 recovery costs. I'll let you know where the $$$ drop out when I get the quotes.


    This has been playing on my mind given where we travel to and is as relevant to newer high tech 4wds as well as the oldies (my camp).

    Has anyone found any economical options to cover at massive towing bill in case something breaks in a big way ?
