Emergency road service refers to assistance rendered by registered companies when vehicle owners are in distress while driving on highways and motor ways. The emergency road service is provided around the clock by the companies to subscribers on their list.
The emergency road service includes attending to engine failure, mechanical faults, vehicle breakdown, flat tire replacement, fluid and fuel delivery and many others. All you have to do is call the hotline of the service provider and the mobile repair squad will be directed to assist you. In case the mobile repair squad fails to rectify the problem, the vehicle will be towed away to the nearest shop. They will do their best to ensure that your journey is not interrupted. The agency often will find alternative accommodations of your choice at the nearest hotel. However, if you are intent on continuing the journey, the agency may also lend you an alternative vehicle.
Emergency road service also includes identifying the nearest hotel, gas station and ATM machines. They may also provide chauffeur service if required.
However, these services come at a price. There are various packages under emergency road service. It is recommended that all vehicle owners subscribe to emergency road service. This service is also offered as part of the auto warranty by some companies.
