Haven’t you been “towed” not to park here?
If you own a car chances are you have used or at least wished you could use a road service. Hey, who has time to go to the gas station? We are watching our blinking fuel light and reassuring ourselves that we are “good” for at least 5 more miles or so. And then…oh, men! That’s where AAA, Amoco or your own towing/ road service coverage comes very handy.
Insurance companies become more and more competitive, which means they try to offer better deals and broader coverage for their clients. Their towing/road service has improved over the years. Coverage does not cost much (about $3 a month) and, depending on the company, offers a lot of nice features:
- 24 hours a day mechanical first aid, battery service, tire change, towing, gas, water and oil delivery, and lockout service
- Your insurance company will be billed directly for the service up to the policy limit. If the charge exceeds this limit, the insured is responsible for the difference
- If you wish, you can arrange your own towing or roadside assistance service, pay them and submit a receipt for reimbursement
- A special toll free number will be provided to you. When service is required, simply give the dispatcher your policy number.

Be smart and savvy, compare the coverage and price your insurance company offers to the services of an automobile club.
