The Services Of A 24 Hour Roadside Help Plan

By Joseph Wood


A car is a very convenient thing to have, especially if you have a long commute to work or just like road trips. But like anything mechanical, sometimes vehicles break down. Those break down can come at some very inconvenient times, such as during a rainstorm or late at night when walking for help would be dangerous. That is why you need to enroll in 24 hour roadside help coverage.

All programs offer the basics, which are the most-requested services by people who are stranded due to vehicle issues. If you are lucky, your coverage will offer even more services, though some may come at additional cost. But the basics are included in every package so you have some peace of mind should you find yourself unable to drive your car.

A flat tire is among the easiest things to fix since you likely already have all the tools in your trunk and no towing or mechanical failings are involved. However, it is a labor-intensive act that some people have trouble completing on their own, especially in inclement weather. A worker can be quickly dispatched to change the tire quickly so you can get back to driving.

Another common service is towing. If your vehicle cannot be fixed on the spot and requires a mechanic with a full set of tools, the person responding to you will be happy to tow it to the nearest garage. There is usually a limit on distance for tows, anything over that limit will incur an additional fee. You and your passengers will go with them and then get dropped off at home or at your hotel if out of town.

There are a couple of really easy reasons you need assistance that take just minutes to fix. One of them is running out of gas. The service can dispatch a truck to you with a full can of fuel to pour into your tank. If you just need a jump start, then jumper cables are a part of any roadside assistance package to get you going.

Sometimes you lose your keys and cannot find them, or maybe you accidentally locked them in the car and now cannot get inside. No matter the reason, you can get someone dispatched to you who can get you back into your car fast.

All you have to do is call the number provided to you when you started your policy. Most services will provide you with an estimated time of arrival and tell you what kind of vehicle they will be driving, as well as their name. Some will even let you track their arrival so you can be sure it is them when they arrive.

The response is generally quite fast, and you will get help fairly quickly as a result. However, a few factors such as how far away you are from the location of the nearest service station may cause a short delay. But with this coverage, you can rest assured that help will come.
