Roadside Assistance to the Rescue!

By its most basic definition, insurance is protection against the unexpected. It’s paying for piece of mind.

No one expects to run into car trouble an hour into their road trip -- but things happen! As you hit the road for vacation this summer, we recommend adding roadside assistance to your insurance policy.

Think of Roadside Assistance like AAA; only, instead of having to purchase a separate AAA membership, you can bundle this extra coverage into your current policy. Generally speaking, purchasing Roadside Assistance through your insurance company is less expensive than purchasing a policy through a third party.

Roadside assistance covers towing to the nearest qualified repair shop and other basic emergency services, help with changing a flat tire, deliver gas, oil or other essential fluids like radiator and brake fluid, jump start your battery and send out a locksmith if you’re locked out of your car. Basically, Roadside Assistance means you'll always have help -- anytime, anywhere you are.

Below, Safeco breaks down how Roadside Assistance can help:

So, as you’re gearing up for that next family vacation or trip to Grandma’s, be sure to call your agent to discuss how Roadside Assistance could work for you!
