This *24-hour Roadside Assistance Service aims to give you and your family peace of mind on and off the road, knowing that should you experience any car-related issues we’ll send the AA’s recovery team to assist you, anywhere in South Africa (*terms and conditions apply). Only One of the benefits may be used once throughout the duration of your 1-year membership, thereafter the club card expires, so make it count.

The first 40 kilometers are paid for in full by the e-CAR Club.
Please be aware that each breakdown tow is limited to a 40KM round trip from where the AA support vehicle started to the scene of the breakdown and back. T&C applies.

Roadside Assistance when running out of fuel. Whether you’re a student or a businessperson it’s just one of those things that motorists share in common at least once in their lives.

Just make sure you let us know what type of fuel you use because we will not take responsibility for the incorrect fuel being put into your car’s tank.
We will pay for the call out within a 40 kilometre radius. Provision of 10 litres of fuel for the customer’s account.

Driving in South Africa can be rather treacherous and often accidents are unavoidable. If you ever find yourself in a car accident we’ll arrange and pay to have your car towed to our nearest e-CAR workshop if it is unable to be driven and you’re not covered for a tow cost under a short-term insurance policy. If you do have insurance coverage, let us know and we’ll transfer you to your insurer or broker for assistance.

Don’t stress, we’ll arrange and pay for a locksmith to unlock your car and retrieve your keys. If our guy can’t retrieve them, we’ll arrange for your car to be towed.
We’ll only pay for the call-out. All opening or repairs, parts, components, keys, or key-cutting costs are yours to cover. Should our locksmith be unable to sort out the problem where it occurred (home, work, etc.) and your car needs to be towed, we will pay for the first 40kms towards the cost of your tow. Any extra kilometers driven over and above the 40km limit will be at your cost.
You can never predict when your car will decide it’s had enough and breaks down. You can rest assured though that we’ll come to the rescue day or night! So if you do break down at night, when our e-CAR workshops are closed, we’ll pay a maximum of R500 to have your car put into safe storage and transported to an e-CAR workshop the next morning.
If you choose not to use the overnight storage benefit and wish to be towed home, this will be for your cost, and the tow back to an e-CAR workshop the next morning will count as a second tow. This second tow will be at your own cost.
If you need to be towed, we will pay for the first 40kms towards the cost of your tow. Any extra kilometres driven over and above the 40km limit will be at your own cost.
This is where our courtesy transport benefit kicks in. If you’ve broken down within 100 km of your home, we’ll arrange a tow to the nearest e-CAR workshop and send a taxi to drive you home or to the office.
You’ll have to pay for the taxi ride but we’ll refund you a determined amount towards the bill. Just make sure you keep the slip as proof that you used this service otherwise we won’t be able to refund you.
So you haven’t been able to organise a lift to collect your car and have no means of getting to our workshop? No worries! This is where we step in and offer you our ‘collect and tow’ benefit.
We’ll arrange for your car to be collected from our workshop and towed back to your home, but you will have to pay for this service upfront. After delivery, you can claim back a determined fee for the tow. Make sure you keep the tow slip as proof that you used this service otherwise we won’t be able to refund you.
