Many people think that they do not require emergency auto assistance because they only drive to nearby places or because they always have a number of people whom they can call upon to get them out of an auto related emergency. While emergency road services are not very costly, they do still cost some money, and it is a good idea to evaluate whether you need to be a member of an auto club or not. Situations do arise where your friends or relatives may not be available to come and help you when you are locked out of your car or you might find yourself with a new car that has broken down. Therefore, if you can afford it, then it is advised that you at least subscribe to a basic auto assistance program
Most emergency auto assistance programs will reach you wherever you are within a specified time period and their services are available throughout the day and the night. The basic plans of almost all emergency auto services cover assistance in the case of lockouts; jump starts, fuel and water delivery, changing flat tires and towing up to a certain distance, beyond which the member will have to pay extra charges for towing.
