Free AMI Roadside Rescue service for AMI comprehensive car insurance customers
This article was prepared by AMI Insurance and is being published by the New Zealand Herald as advertorial.
No limit on callouts, for you, your car (or whoever is driving yours) and no extra form-filling – just great value car insurance with a side of AMI Roadside Rescue.
Starting this week, AMI is setting a new service standard for customers by including free, nationwide AMI Roadside Rescue in its AMI Comprehensive Car insurance policies*. The new service will be available for all new Comprehensive Car insurance customers at sign-up or activated automatically for existing customers at their policy renewal.
Dean MacGregor, AMI Executive General Manager Supply Chain and Hub Services says: 'As a leading insurer, we want to be there for New Zealanders in their time of need.
'We are committed to making things easy for our customers – whether that's deploying our AMI HomeHub teams to assist immediately following a natural hazard event, getting vehicles repaired, serviced and back out on the road sooner through our AMI MotorHubs, for a jump start, a tow after a breakdown, or to make a quick tyre change via our nationwide AMI Roadside Rescue network – we are dedicated to being there to get our customers back on their feet as quickly as possible.
'Our customers tell us they're not interested in loads of form filling, extra 'membership fees' and discounts for services they're never going to use. They just want access to fast, exceptional roadside rescue, where and when they need it.'
AMI Roadside 'Rescue Road' keeping an eye on holiday highway traffic
To celebrate this announcement, AMI Roadside Rescue will be operating New Zealand's first 'AMI Rescue Road' for drivers travelling popular holiday highways this King's Birthday and Matariki long weekends. This means that AMI Roadside Rescue will provide free roadside services for all drivers** (regardless of whether they are an AMI customer or not) who may require help during the journey along a popular stretch of the holiday highway.
This long weekend, the first Rescue Road will be active from 5pm, Friday May 30 to 6am, Tuesday June 3, along parts of State Highway 7 (SH7) and State Highway 7A (SH7A) from Waipara to Hanmer Springs. This service will be complemented by an AMI Driver Reviver roadside rest-stop at the Hurunui Rest Area from 11am to 4pm on Monday, June 2.
AMI Driver Reviver roadside rest-stops encourage drivers to take a break when travelling long distances. Run by AMI's community risk team, these are held in partnership with local district councils, Fire and Emergency New Zealand, New Zealand Police, Hato Hone St John and other community organisations.
** King's Birthday Weekend Activation Ts&Cs apply.

Police urge safety after crash, tickets
Last Thursday Cromwell Police attended a crash in the Kawarau Gorge which closed both lanes of the road for a short time. Police said the driver who had travelled from Queenstown lost control in the wet conditions, after spinning 720°, the car collided with another vehicle headed to Queenstown. Both victims were able to walk away from the crash with only minor injuries, but both vehicles were extensively damaged. The offending driver was issued a summons to appear in court for careless driving causing injury. A police spokesperson said the incident was a serious reminder to all drivers to ensure they were driving to the conditions. "Winter is here and the roads are going to get more challenging at times. "The speed limit is only a guide and not a target," they said. Police in the Otago Lakes area have been conducting frequent breath-testing operations to catch impaired drivers. The police spokesperson said while most motorists were well behaved, drivers were still being caught driving while impaired. Several drivers had either been processed for drunk driving in the past week and summonsed to court, or issued with infringement notices. "While most drivers are doing the right thing, we are still disappointed that we're continuing to see people putting themselves and other road users at risk." Police asked motorists to plan ahead if they were going to be drinking and ensure they had safe way to get home, whether it be a sober driver or a pick-up. "Anyone heading out on the road should be prepared to be stopped and breath-tested anytime, anywhere," the spokesperson said. Over King's Birthday weekend, police were out on the road insuring the safety of road users. Although most road users were well behaved, several infringement were issued for speed and other offences. A number of motorists were stopped travelling at high speeds in the Maniototo — one motorcyclist was stopped after travelling at 146kmh. The motorcyclist's licence was suspended, and they were issued a court summons for dangerous speed, the police spokesperson said.
