AMI Roadside Rescue is Now Free For New Drivers

AMI Roadside Rescue service will henceforth be free of charge for a year to anyone who passes their restricted or full New Zealand driver’s licence. That’s regardless of whether they’re insured with AMI or not.

An AMI spokesperson who heads up Consumer Brands, Paula ter Brake, says: “We want [new drivers] to feel safe and supported when they start driving, and a year of free AMI Roadside Rescue will help with that.  

“AMI Roadside Rescue can offer new drivers the confidence of knowing that if something happens and they don’t know what to do, there’s someone just around the corner who does.

“The newly revamped AMI Roadside Rescue is a leading provider of roadside services in New Zealand.  It’s available 24/7, nationwide to all New Zealanders, and to both AMI Insurance customers as well as non-customers. The service offers unlimited callouts, and covers you, your car, and anyone driving it, so customers can rest easy knowing AMI Roadside Rescue has got your back.

“We believe that AMI Roadside Rescue offers a superior customer-focused product with more inclusions than any existing roadside vehicle service currently available in New Zealand.  Whether it’s a flat tire or a flat battery, or you’ve run out of petrol or charge, or even experienced a mechanical or electrical failure, the AMI Roadside Rescue team can assist.  The team is fully qualified, very experienced, and ready to do what they can to help people get home safely.”

This offer is available to all new drivers who have passed their restricted or full New Zealand drivers’ license within the last 12 months (from 4 November 2024). And that’s regardless of whether they’re insured with AMI or not.  New drivers can head online to sign up at ami.co.nz.

With around 1000 vehicles across New Zealand, AMI Roadside Rescue offers nationwide coverage and speedy response times. 

The service can help when you have a flat tyre or battery, run out of fuel or battery charge if an EV, experience a breakdown because of mechanical or electrical failure or lock yourself out of your car.
