Emergency auto assistance companies have outgrown their simple function of providing assistance to automobile drivers in cases of emergencies and breakdowns. Instead, road service companies have metamorphosed into well-rounded travel and tour service providers. And their function does not end here also, because there are some that offer car financing, warranty and insurance too.

The portfolio of most emergency auto assistance companies now encompasses various areas, all of them not necessarily connected with roads or emergencies, for that matter. Many emergency road services like the AAA provide road maps, trip advisors, detailed driving instructions and on line maps. And this is not all, for these people go off the road into the sea to book you cruises on popular cruise lines and also provide cars for rent when you are holidaying.

A number of emergency auto assistance services are also fully involved in automobile loans, financing, warranties and insurance. Most services worth their salt provide loads of free information regarding buying new and used cars and car loans. Once again, AAA is ahead of most providers considering that they are in the business of providing traveler’s checks and foreign currency exchange facilities as well.
