Arrogant inexperienced Customer Service Rep
My spark plug lead was loose. That was the reason why my car had missing when trying to accelerate. I told the customer service rep about the missing. The minute she heard about the problem she said sorry our mechanic can't do anything about it. The mechanic just had to come out and just give the cable a press which would have solved the problem.
She insisted on getting the car towed. When I gave her the mechanics address which was 22kms from where I live. She was so eager to point out the additional 2km charge that I would have to pay.

I just bought a car from other people and suddenly the car's out of battery. So the old owner of the car called the roadside assistance, the guy came over and changed the battery with $160 charged. After that me car couldn't run probable because the cellelator was not working, all the programs was shut down. And we call the roadside assistance came over again and the guy just checked up again and say: I don't know what's wrong. All the systems was down and even radio is not working. After that I called car repair person, he said they should be set the programs again for me ... now I get into lots of problems with my car ... even I couldn't turn on the radio or set up for Bluetooth .... disappointed. Won't get this from Allianz again!

Good service
I have 2 cars and both cars have had Allianz Platinum roadside assistance plans for 4 years now, had to use it 3 times so far and i couldn't be happier with the mechanic's they used on all three occasions, in one instance they towed my car after it broke down more than 70 kms from home, I thanked God that night as it could of costed me at least $500 if I didn't have roadside, call centre agents I guess could benefit from some training but overall I would definitely recommend Allianz Roadside assistance to others

Only one word to describe, EXCELLENT
You guys did your job, what has been promised for. It was a Christmas day, you provided service to me which is more than sufficient for us. Would definitely recommend you guys to my friends. You guys rock. Keep up the good work.
I am not sure why some people is writing crap about their service, may be they expect a lot and sometimes we have to understand their limitations too.

Left stranded by Landrover Roadside Assistance don't get caught out
Note: Landrover Roadside Assistance comes under Allianz Global Assistance group
We had a Landrover roadside assistance policy since 2012.
Recent my 2 kids and I broke down on an extremely hot day, we phoned Landrover Roadside Assistance and was told we did not have a policy, to which I responded 'that's strange I recalled paying for item'.
Upon returning home I retrieved our paperwork and identified my policy expired by a couple of days. No communication was sent to us nor a reneweral notice because after another phone to Land Rover...Read more
Roadside Assistance I was told my car is 10 years old and they did not provide a service for cars 10 years and over. Are we just a number, after so many years supporting your product? A simple letter from Land Rover Roadside assistance would have been appreciated. There is no quality customer service in this example. Im still waiting for a please explain from executive management.2 comments

Excellent service!
We have had several great experiences with Allianz roadside. On all occasions, they came to our aid quickly, quickly organised a tow truck in one instance and didn't charge us a cent more! Very happy with their service. Thanks Allianz!

Pathetic! Left me stranded in a ditch at night! Minus 5 stars!
I was travelling on a semi-rural road at night around 40km north of Melbourne. Had to make a u turn - used a driveway and misjudged it and landed in the stormwater ditch on the side.
Called Allianz and they ended up REFUSING to dispatch a tow truck to pull me out. They gave some bulls***t excuse scapegoat saying they don't cover bogged vehicles or something. Absolute nonsense! I was basically right along a main road one metre from the shoulder and it was such that another car could have pulled me out.
I will never ever recommend Allianz p...Read more
roducts and will never use them again. They were off course happy to refer me to a tow company that will then charge $250+ to come pull me out. (money sharks!) The only way I got out was when a few blokes pulled over and graciously helped me out.1 comment

No assistance after all my stuff (wallet, house key, cellphone) were locked in my car
Two weeks ago, I went to a rugby field to walk my dog. I parked my car and put my wallet, house key and cellphone on the trunk of the car.
While I was with my dog, I started to run after her. I didn't realize that my car key has fallen down from my jacket. I tried to look for the car keys everywhere but I couldn't find it, after all I was in a rugby field.
I saw somebody else in the park and asked for help, she offered me her phone and I called Allianz Roadside Assistance.
Well, the customer service lady asked for my name and she coul...Read more
dn't find me in the system. I have two last names and she tried with the first one, the second one, my first name and nothing. I didn't have my membership card with me (it was in the car) and I don't know the rego of my car by memory. So, I told her can you try with my date of birth? can you try with my address? can you try with my phone number? and she said I can't find you by any of those options. So, no service for me. The lady that was helping me called Locksmith, they opened my car, I paid 150 AUD for something that is cover on the payment that I made for Allianz Roadside Assistance.Similar opinion?

My flat battery ended up being $500
I called allianz about roadside assist. I gave my details and was advised my membership expired 2 years. I thought it was one of those set and forget insurances that get taken out off your credit card every year. Apparently not. The consultant said they could only activate it if I took out a two year policy $180 and $100 callout fee. What a jab! I cannot see any reason why I was not offered a one year member ship and only accepted on two years . Either it's pushy sales or the consultant didn't want to tell me that one year was avaliable. Ill...Read more
be reading my pds very closely when it arrives. Something fishy when two year policies are offered. When everyone else offers one. I only took it because I used allianz previously and I needed to go somewhere urgently. Otherwise i would have gone else where.5 comments

Great service. Mechanic arrived before ETA times. Efficient and no pushy
Was waiting in the car with radio on. Then battery flat. Rang Allianz roadside assistance with no wait on the call. Advised help with come within 60 mins. About 25 mins later, received a call from the mechanic to confirm the vehicle position.

Great service.
Am a NSW resident at Coral Bay, WA, in a caravan. Coral Bay has a very small population, and my Landcruiser decided not to start as the batteries failed without notice. Within 30 minutes, help arrived in a Ford F250, started the cruiser and gave me professional advice. It's when you need help that you appreciate honest, professional service. Well done Allianz and the men in the F250. Ken O'Meara

Most expensive tow ever!
We've recently changed from RACQ to Allianz roadside assistance. My husband had a car accident and the car was completely damaged. He called Allianz because the car needed to be moved from the road to a safer place for other drivers (until that, it was all good). The next day we received and invoice from the towing company requesting the payment from the towing ($380) which seemed weird to us since we thought it was covered. To our surprise, apparently the roadside assistance only covers a car when is broken down, not when is written off (don'...Read more
t understand why??!!) Additionally, we were charged with the highest price which surprised us even more considering that the car was just towed only few meters away from the place of the accident. We tried to called Allianz asking for an explanation but nobody helped us!! Completely disappointed of the services they offer.2 comments

Terrible customer service
Purchased a new car and called them to switch my roadside assistance to the new car. A year later, called up to ask a question and was told my membership had expired with no explanation. After going through my paper work I figured out myself that when I renewed my membership it had been renewed to my old car rather than my new car. Called them again to see why/how this happened and was basically told nothing could be done. So despite calling them to inform them I had a new car and then paying for a years membership, my new car was not even cove...Read more
red and no mistake on their part was acknowledged. Lodged a complain via their feedback page and was emailed to say I would be contacted "within one business day" and have yet to hear back from them three weeks later. They're cheap and that's about all I have good to say about them.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Loved the service
I am normally a blind follower of NRMA. When I wanted to get roadside, its was coming out quite dear plus joining fee (they were treating Post code 2770 as rural!!! Are they serious?). Allianz Roadside was only $79 for the whole year and for the same level of cover, that's less than half price. I told NRMA if they can at least waive the joining fee given I have 2 CTP and 2 Comp Insurance policies with them! They said no. Told them about Allianz's offer and they were like "they don't have enough cars, people are rude, not enough coverage, waitin...Read more
g time upto 2 hours, etc.". The usual bull. So finally took the Allianz roadside and boy was it good! I tried jump starting this morning, and with the key in the ignition, the door auto locked with the keys inside as soon as I put the leads on the battery. I called Allianz around 10:30am, the guy was here in 10 minutes. He was very professional, knew exactly what to do. Opened the door in literally 2 minutes! Started the car, shook my hand and off he went. That's worth every penny of the $79!1 comment
