7 Services Your Car Roadside Assistance Cover Must Have

At some point in time, all of us get involved in an accident or a roadside mishap, which not only leaves us helpless but also stranded in the middle of the road. The best way to get out of the dire situation is to have the number of a car towing or roadside assistance company saved in your phone. Simply dial the number, call for immediate assistance and rest assured.

There are a number of roadside assistance and car towing companies in India that offer ad hoc accidental services at the most nominal rates. They also offer special packages – monthly, half-yearly, and annual coverage plans which cover a broad range of services. But, selecting the right vendor that provides you a package of your choice can be a daunting task.

Here we have compiled a list of essential services that your roadside assistance service plan must include. If your chosen vendor offers all these services, it’s the company to partner with!

24x7 Roadside Assistance - In a country like India, so immune to accidents, even at 3 AM in the morning, collaborating with a company that offers 24x7 roadside assistance is important and recommended. We know the chances of availing roadside assistance post-midnight is highly unlikely, but what’s the harm? It’s just an added advantage!

Car Towing - Car towing is one of the primary services that you must look for in a roadside assistance plan. The reason being, with this service you can get your vehicle towed to the nearest garage, especially in the event of a major accident or breakdown, which cannot be fixed on-ground by the mechanics. Most companies have tie-ups with garages and offer towing services up to 30 kilometers (diameter) from the point of accident/breakdown.

Lost or Locked Key Replacement - These are, apparently, two of the most common mistakes we make, leaving car keys inside the car and losing them in transit. A good roadside assistance service provider helps you get your keys, either by unlocking the vehicle or by getting a set of new keys. Make sure your plan covers this service!

Fuel Problems - Another common mistake that most of us make, not getting our fuel tanks re-filled from time to time, which in turn, leaves us stranded in the middle of the road with no fuel in the vehicle, at all. A good car roadside assistanceplan covers this damage too. It sends a fleet with enough petrol to help you reach the nearest fuel station and get your tank re-filled again.

Flat Tire - If there’s one thing Indian roads are famous for, it’s the open man-holes, puddles, and debris. Driving on such unmaintained roads increases the chances of blowouts and flat tires. This means that your roadside assistance plan must include flat tire replacement service.

Taxi Service - Though an added advantage, having a plan that offers taxi service is highly beneficial. For times when your vehicle has broken down, its repair will take time and you urgently need to reach a destination of desire, you can avail taxi service. Your service provider can or will arrange a can for you to continue on your journey while your vehicle is under repair.

Relay of urgent messages - This service helps in informing your near and dear ones about your ware bouts and current situation. It’s especially beneficial when you’re running out of your phone’s battery or are in an area with no cellular network.
