ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE – More than just towing!

Picture this selfie …. you on a lonely stretch of highway with your car broken down and no help in sight! Not a pretty picture or a happy thought. Before you take that summer driving vacation or long weekend road trip check to see if you have added Roadside Assistance to your personal auto policy.

Help when you need it most for under $10 per vehicle per year!

Roadside Assistance is an optional coverage that can be added to most Personal Auto Policies. Normally, for less than $10 in premium per vehicle/year you can add this coverage so a trained auto repair professional will be on the way to help you after a mechanical breakdown.

The coverage varies from company to company and state to state but here are the normal extra coverages available under Roadside Assistance:

  • Repair Labor – Up to one hour of labor at the scene of a mechanical disablement. The customer is responsible only for the cost of any associated parts needed for repair.
  • Battery jump-start to get you going again.
  • Flat tire change
    .
  • Emergency fuel and fluid delivery; the customer pays only for the cost of the fuel or fluid.
  • Lockout assistance.
  • Towing. The provider will attempt to fix the problem at the scene. However, if that can’t be done, they will tow the vehicle to the nearest qualified place where necessary repairs can be done during regular business hours.
  • Winching for up to 100 feet from the road.
  • AutoValet – For serious disablements, this provides customers with help finding alternate transportation, lodging, message relay, or directory assistance.
