Roadside assistance provides valuable help for drivers who experience common vehicle breakdown issues like flat tires, dead batteries, running out of fuel, or locking keys in the car. Premium roadside assistance services are offered by auto clubs like AAA and personal auto insurance providers which allow members to call toll-free hotlines 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to request aid from trained dispatchers and technicians. Many providers also offer app-based or online roadside assistance requests in addition to phone-based help. Member benefits often include towing services, battery jump starting, vehicle winch-outs or extraction, emergency key lockout service, mobile fuel delivery, as well as flat tire changing assistance. Most auto insurance providers include basic roadside assistance with policies that cover a set number of service calls per policy period, with option to pay extra for upgraded supplemental coverage plans with additional service call allowances for more frequent travelers or those in rural areas.
