One of the most embarrassing things for most motorists is calling a loved one, especially in the late night hours, to come get us because our vehicles have broken down on the road. No matter who you are, getting ready to drive to work can be also be stressful when your car doesn’t start because your battery is dead. Some of us have family available to come to our aid. Still, most of us must rely on a stranger to assist us. Unfortunately, a family member or random stranger may not be auto-savvy, have the necessary equipment to get you going, or be willing to help. Not to mention, if you flag someone down to help you with a flat tire or other roadside problem, it is not the safest thing you can do.
At Magic City Insurance Group LLC in Birmingham, AL, we feel these are just a few reasons why it is beneficial for you to have roadside assistance coverage on your auto insurance policy.
Benefits of Roadside Assistance
With roadside assistance, you can keep your trip from being interrupted for a prolonged period on the side of a dangerous road or highway. With roadside, you can get the following benefits to get you back on the road and safely to your destination:
- Fuel delivery when you are out of gas (usually enough to get you to the nearest fuel station).
- Delivery of essential fluids if your car needs oil or water. (You may be required to pay for the fluids.)
- Towing services (though there are mileage limits)
- Changing a flat tire (putting your spare time on your vehicle for you)
- A jump start
- Locksmith services
- Mobile Battery replacement (You would likely pay for the replacement battery.)
- Hotel discounts (which is an excellent benefit for vacations or if you are lodging for the night while waiting on a repair shop to fix your car).
