There’s nothing
more dreadful than your vehicle breaking down in the middle of nowhere or you
running out of fuel when stuck in heavy traffic jam. It is for such times when
you realize the importance of having a good road assistance plan in your
pocket. Simply known that there’s someone to help you when you need it the
most, gives you a piece of mind.
But choosing the
right road assistance provider in itself is a daunting task. While most of them
promise a mammoth of car and motorcycle roadside service, but only a handful of
them offer exactly what they claim during their initial offer. Therefore, it’s
important to make sure that the service provider you choose will provide you
with all the services you expect.
Services offered
The first and
the foremost thing to do when choosing a roadside assistance service provider
is to carefully go through all the packages offered by the company. Compare the
list of services offered by them with the ones that match your requirement. If
the company is providing for more services than your expectations and that too
at a reasonable rate, it’s the service provider to shake hands with.
Basic services
the company must offer include:-
Anything addition is an added advantages.
- Fuel delivery
- Jumpstart
- Flat tire service, and
- Car towing service.
Anything addition is an added advantages.
Vehicles Covered
The next thing
to do is to see the types of vehicles covered under a roadside assistance plan.
There are many companies that do not cover RVs, trailers and similar vehicle
types. In case you need a coverage for anyone of these, you’ll have to
rigorously search for a company that offers additional add-on plans.
Response Time
A good roadside
assistance company must have a quick response time. That is – it must show up
promptly when called for help. The response time of the company significantly
mattes when choosing one.
Company’s Network
Next on the list
of factors to consider when selecting a roadside assistance company is to
analyse the company’s network and it’s tie-ups with garages all across the
nation. The better its network, the quicker will it its response time and the
better services it will be able to offer you. Go for the one with a wide
network chain.
Ideal Policy
Last but not the
least, now is the time to actually sit and consider which policy to zero up
from the many car and motorcycle roadside service policies offered by the
company. When the time comes, you’ll be happy that you have one in your pocket.
