Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does TDW cover all types of tyre damage?
Yes — it covers punctures, blowouts, and sidewall damage. However, misuse or negligence (such as burnout damage) is not included.
Q: Do I still need Executive Cover?
Executive Cover reduces your overall liability to $0 for most types of damage. Tyre Damage Waiver is an optional extra that specifically protects against tyre-related costs. For complete peace of mind, we recommend both.
Q: What happens if I get a flat tyre on the road?
Our 24/7 roadside assistance team will get you moving again. If the tyre needs to be replaced, you won’t be charged when you’ve added Tyre Damage Waiver, however the call out fee for roadside assistance will still be chargable unless you have purchased premium roadside assistance.
