You can travel worry free this Hari Raya thanks to Allianz Road Rangers
As we approach Hari Raya, we can expect many Malaysians to travel cross-country to be reunited with their loved ones. However, we need to be reminded that accidents or breakdowns can happen and all necessary precautions should be taken to arrive safely at our destination.
The Allianz Road Rangers, a premium roadside assistance service for the company’s motor comprehensive policyholders, is on standby with a fleet of more than 300 tow trucks to be stationed across the country, ready to assist in the event of a breakdown or accident.
Moreover, between 6 and 14 April 2024, Allianz General will standby its fleet at strategic locations that are accessible to major highways. Last year, there were a total of 12,407 road accidents reported during Ops Selamat 20 in conjunction with the Hari Raya Aidilfitri festive period.
The total number of deaths recorded was 146 compared to 145 from the year before. The Allianz Road Rangers provides comprehensive roadside assistance, including quick repairs if possible or towing to an accredited workshop for various vehicle segments, including Private Cars, Motorcycles, Goods-Carrying Vehicles, and Electric Vehicles (EV).
These benefits are also subject to the entitlements and terms and conditions outlined in the policy. In the event of an accident, Motor Comprehensive policyholders can avoid touts and dubious workshops by calling 1-800-22-5542 for end-to-end insurance service.
On top of that, there are some basic checks you can do to ensure your vehicle is road-ready. Ensure that your vehicle has been serviced and is good to drive through to your destination and back. Inflate your vehicle’s tyres according to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer.
Check to see if your vehicle’s tyres have a sufficient thread for long-distance driving, or get it checked by a mechanic. Ensure no warning sensors appear on your vehicle’s dashboard, or bring it to a trusted workshop if there are. Also, ensure that the battery water has been topped up sufficiently. And make sure you get enough sleep and rest before you embark on a long journey.
As of 31 December 2023, Allianz General maintained a 20.7 percent market share within the general insurance industry for motor vehicles. So this Hari Raya, take the “balik kampung” drive with full confidence as Allianz Road Rangers are already on standby to assist you when and if you should need it.
