This is why you pay your Ambulance subscription.....
« on: June 25, 2010, 02:22:19 pm »
Just got a bill from Ambulance Victoria for my taxi ride to the Wonthaggi Hospital the other day. Bare in mind that the Hospital is only about 2 km from the track.

$2,154.00!!

Thankfully there'd been a mix-up because I hadn't changed my address details. I broke into a cold sweat going through my book-work to see if I'd payed it. Thankfully I had! If I hadn't I reckon' I would have been having another ambo ride..... :P

I can't seem to find an income protection mob that'll cover me for racing (maybe they know how bad I am). Does yours cover you for that Monaro? If they do can you let me know who they are? Thanks.

There used to be a company called Combined American Insrurance co., not sure where they are now or if they are still called that but they used to insure you anywhere anytime if it involved a motor vehicle.

Combined are still operating, they will cover you for every circumstance except skydiving, or when you are pissed. I have a policy with them as a sort of income protection cover, quite good for peace of mind when you are a subbie with no holidays or sick pay .They are going to do a quick doorstop at our next month's club night, only takes 10 mins but well worth a look.
The rep who signed me up is now working in Victoria and is pretty helpful, for those interested he is Stirling Quintal ph 0450 554 933. Fair chance he'll stop by and do a quick presentation for your club if you're interested. I have no finger in the pie with Combined, but if they're good enough to cover us while racing they deserve a mention if nothing else.  ;)

I used combined ins co of america from about '62 till about '72 when I stopped racing at the time and I made a claim. I broke a left wrist scaffoid bone at Arcadia and put in a claim stating 'crashed while in practice at the motorcycle race meeting.' I thought this will test them out. No problems with them at all,they payed up every 2 weeks for three months. cheers pancho.

Have a guess how much Victorian Paramedics get paid per hour?
