Ferrari announces free roadside assistance
July 23, 2009 by George Skentzos
Supercars by their very nature can be quite volatile machines and not even a Ferrari badge can hide the shame of being stopped at the side of the road with the bonnet open when trouble strikes.
Now when the ‘CEO’ or even ‘President’ title applies to so many of your customers, a certain duty of care is to be expected which is why Ferrari has introduced the new “With You” service.
Under the new scheme, Ferrari clients will not only receive 12 months of roadside assistance if their vehicle breaks down, but are also covered for expenses involved in returning home or reaching a Ferrari service centre.
The scheme also extends to covering the cost of any potential hotel expenses if the worse should happen far from home.
This service applies to all owners of cars built since 1947 and not covered by either existing factory or POWER warranties – a comforting thought when classic Ferrari’s can often fetch far more than their newest siblings.
The service is currently available only for Italian clients but will also be extended to other European markets in the near future and could also eventually include Australia.

…truely….I am speechless.
*****PRIMO!*****
A claytons offer, most Ferrari’s are garage-queens, no need for assistance when it never moves out of your garage,,,,,,,,
Cheers,

Thats very unique that they will cover the older existing models.
Road side assist is only about 60 bucks a year, and the premium one that covers accommodation and other expenses is only around 100 bucks.
Its not really that big of an outlay for manufacturers.
I wonder how many Ferraris there are still registered on the road????
Come on CA, surely you can pull that stat from somewhere
Just wondering… how’s the reliability of Ferrari cars? Better than FIAT cars?
What’s so special about this when almost every other car maker does it as well when you buy a new car? Oh wow, its a Ferrari, and LOOK its got free roadside! Woohoo!
Baz, its not that it has free roadside assistance, it is that old models (anything ater 1947) also get the free roadside assistance). Lets see toyota/bmw/merc/gm/ford do that.
Wonder If Lamborghini will offer this? Maybe free Fire Brigade assistance to every car sold? =P
They did a very nice thing to the classic Ferrari owners. Nice move.
Nice move Ferrari, you sure will be busy!
Ferraris dont need this if you DRIVE THEM REGULARLY AND SERVICE THEM….not leave them in the garage day after day..then on sunday take em out….
Engines need to move, not be looked at….jesus…
If cabs can easily get to 1million plus klms without major rebuilts why not other cars…HUH…??? HUH????
USE THEMMMMM….dont hide themmmmm..
My opinion….
:)
sorry im just a little upset i didnt win the lotto again so i still cant get my ferrari….. :(
bad day at work :(
Well i did pass a F430 on the side of the road in Wollongong the other week.
I guess he was just a little keen for this new service
Cool! This is really a nice move from Ferrari. I just wonder if this particular car needs roadside assistance…performance is amazing…still wise and good scheme from Ferrari :)
