KUALA LUMPUR: Allianz General Insurance Co (Malaysia) Bhd has launched Allianz Truck Warrior, a new supplemental benefit that provides roadside assistance to Allianz Goods Carrying Vehicle (comprehensive) policyholders involved in accidents or breakdowns.This is also the first coverage of its kind in Malaysia which opened for issuance on Jan 12.
With Allianz Truck Warrior, policyholders can expect roadside assistance services up to three times a year, towing of their goods carrying vehicles up to 100km roundtrip by Allianz General's dedicated fleet of tow trucks for superior service guarantee, on-site repair service for breakdowns and flood relief allowance of up to RM5,000 per flood event.
Allianz General chief sales officer Horst Habbig said the average cost of towing a lorry when it breaks down is about RM800 and is subject to cost increases with distance.
“With Allianz Truck Warrior, we offer you a solution that solves all the haggling, waiting, and negotiating at only RM120!
“No more waiting for a tow truck and risk having your productivity adversely affected by this as we will be there, on time when you need us.
“On top of that, towing is up to 100km (round trip) and on-site repair services are available for breakdowns plus you are entitled to flood relief worth RM5,000,“ he said.
To qualify for the coverage, the vehicle has to fulfil the following criteria; the goods carrying vehicle has to have an A and C permit with Comprehensive Cover, up to 7.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight or more popularly known as Berat Dengan Muatan (BDM), and the age of the vehicle is up to 20 years.
“At Allianz Malaysia, size doesn’t matter, big or small, we tow it all!
“Based on statistics from Insurance Services Malaysia Report, there are approximately 670,000 goods-carrying vehicles which were insured in 2021.
“Therefore it only makes sense for us to extend our services to goods-carrying vehicles and for us, the circle is now complete – we cover cars, motorcycles and goods-carrying vehicles. We have bridged the gap and are proud to say that we stand alone in this field,“ Horst said.
