“When we had a breakdown on the way back from a moonscaped 4WD track, 25 kms from Cocklebiddy, Nullarbor desert, we first thought that our trip would sadly end earlier than we had expected.
Thankfully as soon as we contacted Club 4X4, the process was clear and easy: they provided us advice regarding the recovery, answers about the next steps, and transparent information about the refund (5 business days after sending them all the invoices!).
Thanks to the Off Road Recovery Cover by Club 4X4 insurance, we could stay on our journey as planned!
We are 100% satisfied by the services provided and are really grateful to the Club 4X4 team who saved our wild Aussie experience!”

Hi There Pete,
In Marie and Jeremie’s case they were able to contact us as they had GSM coverage where their breakdown occurred.
As always, it’s advisable to carry a satellite phone when you know you are going to be venturing into locations where GSM network coverage is unlikely.
Cheers
If it’s not rude to ask, what was the issue with the vehicle and how was it resolved
Contacting Club 4×4 by satellite phone is only possible if your provider allows calls to 1800 numbers. Mine doesn’t.
It’s the single point of friction I have with your company: your refusal to provide a landline-based phone number.
Hi
I have been insured with 4×4 since the beginning. I have never had the misfortune to have to make a claim.
Hope I never will, this being my 3rd renewal.
I have to say Im a bit disappointed in the premium rise this time.
2016….. $1,065.00
then up 9% to
2017……$1,114.00
then up a whopping 20%
2018……$1,337.00
Next year another rise like this I’m out sorry ,getting out of hand.
All you drivers out there smarten up you driving and the risks you are taking and the rivers you cross
I’m one that’s gone next year if the premium goes up and I wont be the only one then just maybe 4×4
wont be there one day.
Its Insurance in case something goes wrong.
Not a get your money back for being a dick head.
Seems everyone one has to pay for the dick heads that make claims or is it greed from 4×4
When I rang about the rate increase they said its the claims

Gday Mark,
Thanks for the feedback – yes the above increases are pretty commonplace at the moment. Much of this is as a result of claims exposures – some people will get increases much higher than that also. The other side of the coin is a market that is increasing across the board – in order to ensure that one doesn’t attract the poorer risks (who are usually driven purely by premium) as an insurer you need to keep up. If you don’t, the poorer risks will make more claims and eventually require you to increase premiums in multiples to be collecting the right premiums.
These are cycles in the insurance industry. My suggestion is to shop around and see what you get for the money. It would seem to me like you value the extras and benefits we offer – as you are a ridgy didge 4×4 tourer. Many people who leave don’t appreciate or value of the extra’s – it’s quite simply a purchase decision.
Thank you for sticking with us
