Flat Tyre Change
A flat, leaking or damaged tyre on a Covered Vehicle will be replaced with the Covered Vehicle’s spare tyre free of charge to the Beneficiary. For this service, the spare tyre must be in the Covered Vehicle and in good condition. If this service cannot be provided, the Covered Vehicle will be towed or transported to the nearest Land Rover Importer, up to a USD 150 limit.
Any repairs needed to fix a damaged tyre and the costs associated with any repairs are the responsibility of the Beneficiary.
