What is Towing and Roadside Assistance?

Towing and roadside assistance is an auto insurance policy add-on that provides coverage if you get stranded or your car breaks down. For example, if you were driving and you ran out of gas, you’d make a call and a professional would provide fuel delivery. In more extreme cases, if your vehicle broke down, towing and roadside assistance would cover the cost of having your vehicle towed to the nearest repair shop.

What Does It Cover?

Towing and roadside assistance provides peace of mind, whether you’re a mile from your driveway or many miles away. Most programs cover:

• Towing to the nearest eligible repair shop
• Tire changes
• Car key replacement service
• Emergency lockout service
• Pulling car out of mud
• Jump-starts
• Fuel delivery

It’s important to note that your policy’s coverage may differ slightly. To find out what is and is not covered by your auto insurance company’s towing and roadside assistance program, talk to an auto insurance agent.

Do You Need Roadside Assistance?

Particularly if your vehicle is still under warranty, you may wonder if towing and roadside assistance is really a good option for you. Obviously, if you have an older vehicle that has become a little less reliable, the peace of mind you get from adding towing and roadside assistance is priceless.

However, even if your vehicle is only a couple years old and still under warranty, this add-on may still be a good option for a couple of reasons. First of all, in many cases, warranty companies only have a handful of partnering repair shops that they work with. In the event of a breakdown, your vehicle will only be towed to a partner shop, even if that partner shop happens to be 45 minutes away. Second, depending on your warranty, “wear” items like tires may not be covered. Towing and roadside may provide broader coverage than your warranty, making it great companion coverage.
