Drive Often? Consider Roadside Assistance
Overview
If you're frequently behind the wheel, investing in a roadside assistance plan could be a wise decision. It’s far more economical than paying out-of-pocket for towing services.
Why Consider Roadside Assistance?
Experiencing a car breakdown on the highway is frustrating and often leaves you stranded. The chances of someone stopping to help are slim, and without a cell phone, finding assistance can mean a long walk. Even with a phone, you might not have the contact info for a nearby tow service. All these factors can turn an inconvenient situation into a disaster. If you drive a lot, a roadside assistance plan offers peace of mind and practicality.
What is Roadside Assistance?
Roadside assistance is a form of insurance, often more affordable than a one-time tow. You can purchase it from various providers, including your car insurance company. The annual fee, typically less than a single tow, is a cost-effective solution, especially if you encounter a breakdown. In remote areas, towing costs can easily exceed $100, making roadside assistance even more valuable.
Where to Purchase Roadside Assistance
- Car Insurance Companies: Most insurers provide basic towing services for a small yearly fee added to your premium. Rates can vary, but some offer plans for as low as $10 annually.
- AAA (American Automobile Association): Membership includes roadside assistance, with fees ranging from $40 to $80 per year. Services extend beyond towing to include fuel delivery, tire repairs, and locksmith services if you’re locked out or out of gas.
- AARP (American Association of Retired Persons): Offers a plan for members aged 50 and above, priced similarly to AAA.
Be Prepared
Eventually, every vehicle faces a breakdown. It doesn't mean your car is a "lemon," but preparedness is key. While you can't predict when or where a breakdown will occur, you can be ready. A roadside assistance plan is an affordable safeguard, ensuring you and your vehicle can be quickly and safely towed if a roadside emergency arises.
