If you’ve ever been stranded with a broken-down car, you know exactly why it’s important to have 24-hour emergency roadside service available. However, there are some myths in circulation that can make people think twice about using towing and roadside assistance services. Below are just a few of these common misconceptions and the truth behind them, so you can make informed decisions about the service you need.

Roadside Assistance Myths

1. Towing Is the Only Assistance Available

Many tow companies, salvage yards, and auto shops offer a number of services for when you’re stuck on the side of the road. Lockout service, jump-starts, and tire changes are all common options provided across the country.

2. My Insurance Won’t Cover Roadside Assistance

Fortunately, your auto insurance can often cover the costs of these services. Almost every car insurance plan on the market offers roadside assistance as an option. Check your coverage; if roadside assistance isn’t on your plan, talk to your insurance agent about adding it.

3. Towing Is Only Available in Big Cities

TowingIf you live off the beaten path or you’re traveling in rural areas, you might think there isn’t a tow truck around to help if you get stuck. But in fact, small regional services are very common—and in a worst-case scenario, you can call a company farther away for help, though you may have to pay for the extra miles.

4. Roadside Assistance Is Unreliable

While your results do depend on your provider, most providers are responsive and friendly and will go out of their way to help you out. If you find yourself in a difficult situation with your car, you have options. A good roadside assistance company is rarely more than a phone call away. If you still have questions or doubts, call your local towing company for answers.
