roadside assistance coverage

Roadside assistance coverage provides emergency help when an insured or covered vehicle becomes disabled or stranded. It is typically offered as an optional auto insurance endorsement, membership benefit, or service contract feature. Common services provided include towing, battery jump-starts, flat tire changes, lockout assistance, fuel delivery, winching, or minor roadside labor. That said, coverage usually does not pay for major mechanical repairs, replacement parts, tires, batteries, fuel itself, or accident-related damage. This coverage is subject to policy limits, such as towing distance, service-call caps, covered vehicles or drivers, and per-incident maximums.
