Road Assistance
What Is Roadside Assistance?
Roadside assistance is coverage you can add to your car insurance policy to help when you find yourself stranded due to unexpected car trouble – like a dead car battery. This can happen when you’re at work, out running errands, or even when you’re at home.
What Does Roadside Assistance Cover?
Over the course of your lifetime, chances are good that someday your car will get a flat tire, run out of gas or have a mechanical problem. And there you'll be — stuck on the side of the road. But with Roadside Assistance Coverage, you can have peace of mind knowing that help is just a phone call away.
Because we know that everyone is different, we offer two levels of coverage, depending on individual needs. Some people just want a basic roadside coverage because they aren't out on the road all that much, while others may be looking for something more.
