Having a breakdown on the highway in the early morning hours late at night can be scary. It’s not much better during the day but at least there are more people on the road.

What most drivers find is that if they don’t have a reliable plan that provides Auto Road Service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, they need to call around to the local towing providers which is usually a very frustrating experience. What drivers generally find is that pricing will vary not only from towing provided to towing provider, but the company they choose the higher as they sometimes change rates when they get to your vehicle from what was quoted to you originally. This is a major problem as most people do not have the cash on hand to pay the fees and some of them don’t take credit cards. They will sometimes hold your vehicle ransom at that point until you can pay the fee you owe them.

Also, depending on where your vehicle broke down and the time of day, it can be a scary experience to just be stranded there alone. This is much more the case for younger and/or female drivers who tend to feel more vulnerable. One thing you can do to avoid this is called 911 from your cell phone and ask for an officer to come and stay with you until the service provider arrives which they will generally do without an issue.

To avoid this scenario completely it is best to have membership with a reliable roadside assistance program. Purchasing it Auto Road Service membership is also fairly reasonably priced.
