Claims Procedure
Call Travellers Auto Barn on FREECALL 1800 674 374, select option 4, and have your vehicle registration number ready. Travellers Auto Barn will not be responsible, liable, or make any payment for repairs commenced or incurred without the company's prior authourisation. It is recommended you request a work order number from Travellers
Auto Barn. Travellers Auto Barn reserves the right to direct the vehicle to it's preferred repairer. All repairs must be performed by a licensed motor vehicle mechanic in a workshop approved by Travellers Auto Barn. Authorization is dependant upon a check that your particular claim is valid. An independent inspection of the vehicle may be ordered by Travellers Auto Barn to check the validity of the claim. If the claim is valid Travellers Auto Barn will, at its discretion, arrange for or give approval for an approved repairer to repair the vehicle.

Additional Conditions
This is a mechanical breakdown warranty for used vehicles, therefore a part may be worn but still quite safe and serviceable. No reimbursement shall be sought or given for work commenced without Travellers Auto Barn's approval. Travellers Auto Barn shall not be liable or responsible for any damage occurring if the vehicle is left unattended or being towed. Travellers Auto Barn shall not be held responsible for any delays due to lack of supplies of parts or any materials needed to complete any work undertaken. The warranty is not transferable to another person or vehicle.

Overheating
We cannot stress enough the risks of continued driving if your car begins to overheat, or if it has a known cooling system problem of any kind. If your temperature gauge moves in a direction that is a departure from normal, stop immediately, investigate, call for roadside assistance 131111 and call Travellers Auto Barn on 1800 674 374 ext 4. Do NOT wait for it to cool and drive again as you may cause further catastrophic damage to your engine, for which you WILL be held liable. Driving with an inoperative temperature gauge voids all insurance coverage and may result in the hirer being held liable if overheating occurs.

Fluids/Fuels
The hirer/driver is responsible to check, at least daily and maintain all fluid levels and must immediately rectify and report to the Sydney office on 1800 674 374 any defect of which you become aware however slight.  Topping up a vehicle that is losing water somehow is not rectifying the problem. Rectification means a fit and proper diagnosis and repair. Travellers Auto Barn cannot stress enough your responsibility in this regard. Continued operation of the vehicle after a defect has occurred may lead to serious consequential damage to the engine for which you will be held responsible.
