A car is a very convenient thing to have, especially if you have a long commute to work or just like road trips. But like anything mechanical, sometimes vehicles break down. Those break down can come at some very inconvenient times, such as during a rainstorm or late at night when walking for help would be dangerous. That is why you need to enroll in 24 hour roadside help coverage.

All programs offer the basics, which are the most-requested services by people who are stranded due to vehicle issues. If you are lucky, your coverage will offer even more services, though some may come at additional cost. But the basics are included in every package so you have some peace of mind should you find yourself unable to drive your car.

Speaking of flat tires, this is one of the most common emergencies that crews are set out to help with. As the popularity of SUVs and other large vehicles rose, so did the size and weight of the tires, making them hard to change. Your provider will send out someone who is experienced at removing every type of hubcap to get at the wheel and who can change it in a jiffy.

In cases where a mere tire change cannot fix what ails your vehicle, then the service person sent to help will hook it up to their truck and tow it to a garage where a mechanic can take a look at it. There may be a mileage limit according to your plan. For garages that are further away, the service will charge you by the mile for the overage. The mileage limit will vary depending on your coverage.

Hopefully your breakdown is something easy like a jump start. Any good service will have jumper cables available and will happily hook your car up to theirs and get it going for you. Or perhaps you ran out of fuel. A can of gas can easily be brought to you and put into your tank so you can continue quickly along your planned journey.

Perhaps you accidentally locked your keys in the car. Or maybe you just lost your keys and cannot find them right now. Either way, someone can be sent out to get you back into your car and assist you in getting a new set of keys.

All you have to do is call the number provided to you when you started your policy. Most services will provide you with an estimated time of arrival and tell you what kind of vehicle they will be driving, as well as their name. Some will even let you track their arrival so you can be sure it is them when they arrive.

The response is generally quite fast, and you will get help fairly quickly as a result. However, a few factors such as how far away you are from the location of the nearest service station may cause a short delay. But with this coverage, you can rest assured that help will come.
