Let\u2019s be honest\u2014no one expects to be stranded on the side of the road, but it happens. Whether it\u2019s a flat tire, a dead battery, or\u2014yes\u2014even running out of gas (I see you, Kristin! \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2640\ufe0f), roadside assistance can be a lifesaver. If you\u2019re thinking about bundling it with your auto insurance, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Good Stuff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\ude97 Instant Help When You Need It<\/strong> \u2013 When disaster strikes, you don\u2019t have to frantically Google the nearest tow service. Just call your insurance provider, and they\u2019ll send help your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udcb0 It Can Save You Money<\/strong> \u2013 Bundling roadside assistance with your car insurance is often cheaper than signing up for a separate service, like AAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udcc4 One Bill, One Less Headache<\/strong> \u2013 Instead of juggling multiple memberships and fees, keeping everything under one policy makes life easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udd27 They\u2019ll Find You the Right Help<\/strong> \u2013 No sketchy tow truck companies or questionable mechanics. Your insurance company partners with reputable professionals to get you back on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Not-So-Great Side<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\ude2c Limited Coverage<\/strong> \u2013 Some policies only cover basic roadside services. Need a locksmith, trip interruption coverage, or extensive repairs? You might be out of luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udcc8 Your Rates Might Go Up<\/strong> \u2013 In some cases, frequent roadside assistance claims could raise your insurance premiums. I have seen this so much in the past when potential clients are shopping rates. They get so aggravated that no one ever told them that using roadside assistance can make your rates go up and in some cases make you uninsurable to the more desirable carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u23f3 Help Might Take a While<\/strong> \u2013 If you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere, your insurer\u2019s service network might not be as quick as you’d hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\ude99 Coverage Might Not Apply to Every Car You Drive<\/strong> \u2013 If you own multiple vehicles or rent often, make sure your policy extends to them. Otherwise, you could be left stranded\u2014again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Bundling roadside assistance with your auto insurance is convenient, but it\u2019s not always the best option for everyone. Before committing, compare your policy\u2019s coverage with other services to make sure it fits your needs. After all, nobody wants to be making a desperate call from the shoulder of the highway\u2014especially when they\u2019ve already been there before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want more information, just give me a call! I also have all the great promo codes for roadside assistance companies if you would like to purchase it separate from your insurance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let\u2019s be honest\u2014no one expects to be stranded on the side of the road, but it happens.
