Why you should have MBI

  • Your vehicle’s health may be fine today - but what about in one or two years from now
  • Statistically, you are twice as likely to claim on mechanical breakdown insurance than you are to make a claim on private motor vehicle insurance
  • You can claim multiple times - total claim limit is up to the market value of the vehicle
  • You should protect yourself and your family from financial hardship should an unexpected mechanical or electrical failure happen
  • It reduces the risk of vehicle repossession if the vehicle is financed
  • It protects your credit rating by having repairs paid, giving you the ability to maintain paying your vehicle finance or any other payments you maybe committed to
  • There are no age restrictions on the vehicle
  • The vehicle can travel unlimited kilometres during the period of the insurance
  • It provides a safeguard against rising repair costs
  • There is no need to pay for the repairs and claim - claim costs are paid directly to the repairer
  • It provides peace of mind and security if you break down away from home - 24/7 breakdown assistance
REMEMBER: Your vehicle only has to be in the garage for one day to recover the cost of your policy
