Roadside assistance coverage typically includes a number of services to help you when your vehicle breaks down or experiences problems while on the road. These services can vary depending on the specific plan or provider, but here are some common types of assistance you can expect:

  • Emergency towing: If your vehicle cannot be fixed on the spot, roadside assistance services can arrange to tow it to a nearby repair facility or your preferred location.
  • Flat tire assistance: If you have a flat tire, roadside assistance can send a professional to help you change it with your spare tire or provide a temporary fix to get you back on the road.
  • Battery jump-start: If your car battery is dead, it can send someone to jump-start your vehicle, allowing you to continue your journey or drive to a service center.
  • Fuel delivery: If you run out of fuel while driving, roadside assistance can provide a limited amount of fuel to help you reach the nearest gas station.
  • Lockout assistance: If you accidentally lock your keys inside your vehicle, a service provider can help you unlock your car.
  • Mechanical breakdown assistance: Some roadside assistance plans offer minor repairs, like replacing belts and hoses and fixing minor engine issues.

On a final note

Coverage and specific services may vary depending on your insurance provider or the type of roadside assistance plan you purchase. Always review your policy details to understand the services included and any limitations or restrictions that may apply.
