Automatic additional benefits
- Accidental death
If you, your spouse, or any member of your family who normally resides with you is injured and, as a consequence then dies as a result of a sudden accidental event, whilst in or driving the vehicle, we will pay $20,000 to the estate of that person - Accommodation and travel expenses
We will pay up to $1,000 to cover any necessary and reasonable additional accommodation and travel expenses that are incurred to complete your journey following an accident. - Glass breakage
Claims for accidental breakage of windscreens, window glass, sun roofs and other body window glass will not have an excess applied and your No Claims Bonus will not be affected. - Locks and keys
We will cover the reasonable cost of replacing locks and keys (including electronic access cards and transponders and remote door openers) if they have been lost, damaged, stolen or duplicated. You will not have an excess applied and your No Claims Bonus will not be affected. - Medical emergencies
In the event of a genuine medical emergency, we will provide cover for a driver who would otherwise be excluded, or cover you while driving another vehicle for which you do not have insurance. - New vehicle
If a vehicle is deemed uneconomical to repair and it is less than 1 year old, or less than 2 years old with no more than 40,000 km driven, we will replace it with a new vehicle of the same make, model and specification. - Not at fault
If another party is established to be completely at fault for an accident we will refund your excess and ensure your No Claims Bonus remains unaffected. - Parts and accessories stored at home
$1,000 cover for vehicle spare parts and accessories that are stored at home in a secured location. - Protection against uninsured drivers
If another party is established to be completely at fault for an accident, we will pay for damages totalling up to $3,000 to your vehicle that would otherwise be excluded under a third party or third party, fire and theft policy. On a comprehensive policy full cover already applies in this circumstance. - Replacement vehicle purchase
Any replacement vehicle purchased is automatically covered for 30 days on the same terms and conditions as the existing policy. - Trailers
We’ll automatically provide cover for a trailer you own or is in your care for its current value up to $2,000. - Vehicle recovery costs
If your vehicle can’t be driven away from an accident site, we’ll pay the reasonable cost for removing it and transporting it to the nearest repairer or place of safety. - You choose your repairer
You can choose to either use one of our preferred repairers and we’ll guarantee their repairs, or you can select a repairer of your choice.
Hire car cover
For a small additional premium on your policy, in the event of a claim, we'll provide you with hire car cover while your vehicle is being repaired or replaced. We’ll contribute up to $100 per day, for up to 30 days, towards the costs of hiring a temporary replacement vehicle.

We provide the following additional benefits for insuring with MAS:

- Top-quality and empathetic claims service.
- Insure your contents and your house and/or motor vehicle and you’ll be eligible for our multi-product discount. Insure your motor vehicle, house and contents and you’ll be eligible for our Goldshield discount.
- Where an event results in a claim under this policy and another policy you hold with us, you only have to pay the total excess that applies under the policy with the highest total excess.
- If you hold this policy for a continuous period of five years and do not make a claim (excluding glass claims), you will qualify for our Secured No Claims Bonus.
