Roadside assistance provides certain services that can help when you have car trouble. It is an optional coverage for our auto insurance customers.
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.
Roadside Assistance
Roadside assistance will provide towing service up to 15 miles, as well as services such as a jump start, fuel delivery*, flat tire change and lockout assistance. You simply call the toll-free roadside assistance number and help will be on its way.
Premier Roadside Assistance® Package
Premier Roadside Assistance will provide towing service up to 100 miles, as well as services such as jump start, fuel delivery*, flat tire change and lockout assistance.
This package also provides trip interruption coverage, which means you may be eligible for reimbursement of $200 a day (to a maximum of $600) for meals and lodging if your breakdown occurs at least 100 miles from home and your vehicle is out of commission for more than 24 hours.
In addition, Premier Roadside Assistance includes personal property coverage with a $500 limit, which provides coverage to replace stolen or damaged personal property as a result of a covered, paid comprehensive or collision loss.
*The cost of fuel is not included.
