One of the most important coverage options for your vehicle is roadside assistance. Standard in the best insurance policies, roadside assistance can give a driver peace of mind when their car breaks down. Your insurer can dispatch help quickly to assist with minor repairs and get your vehicle back on the road. Below are a few issues this handy policy can resolve. 

What Does Roadside Assistance Help With?

1. Towing

Leaking oil and brake failure are just a few issues that can make your vehicle unsafe to drive. If your car’s warning lights are flashing, calmly pull over to the side of the road and contact your roadside assistance for a tow to the nearest garage. That way, you can have it inspected without endangering yourself and other drivers.

2. Dead battery

Car batteries—especially older models—can die without warning. Your roadside assistance program will send a service professional to jump-start your battery or determine if the issue lies elsewhere.

3. Flat Tires

Flat tires are likely to happen at inopportune times. With roadside assistance, a professional will show up at your location and replace the flat tire with your spare so you can drive to the closest repair shop to install a new one.

4. Lockout

Many drivers have accidentally locked their keys in their car, leaving them stranded for hours. Certified lockout service is available through roadside assistance. While most professionals can open a locked vehicle with a pump wedge or long reach tool, sometimes the job requires a certified locksmith. Some coverage will supply the locksmith, while others will pay for partial costs.

5. Fuel delivery

One of the worst feelings is to run out of gas while driving. Luckily, many roadside assistance programs offer fuel delivery services. These policies send a professional with enough fuel to get your car started and rolling to the nearest gas station, so you don’t have to be stranded at any time of the day or night.
