We highly recommend that if you are experiencing homelessness and living in your car, you invest in roadside assistance. This is an essential expense that can save you from difficult and potentially dangerous situations.
We often receive distress calls from individuals who are homeless and stranded due to a flat tire with no way to replace it, a dead battery that needs a jump-start, a flat spare tire, or being locked out of their vehicle. With no one around to help and no funds to resolve the issue, these situations can become overwhelming. Roadside assistance provides peace of mind and critical support when you need it most.
When looking for the best deals on roadside assistance services, consider the following options:
Personal experience: I used to use Gieco road side assistance. Until I was on the Long Island expressway, and ran over a fallen concrete block and got two flat tires. I called roadside service they told me they can not service me because I was on a main highway. I had to drive my car with two flat tires to the next exit, and call for service. What if I couldn’t drive it off the expressway?
My friends car broke down on I-95 he had no roadside service. It was at 9pm he called AAA ordered his Policy, and after midnight he was able to get assistance, a tow truck picked up his car and brought it to a mechanic shop.
2. Insurance Providers: Many auto insurance companies offer roadside assistance as an add-on to their policies or as part of their coverage. Check with your provider for any discounts or bundled services.
3. Credit Card Benefits: Some credit cards, especially those designed for travelers or frequent drivers, include roadside assistance as a benefit. Review your credit card terms to see if you’re already covered.
4. Independent Roadside Assistance Services: Companies price range.
5. Mobile Apps: Services like Urgently and Honk allow you to request roadside assistance on-demand, often at competitive prices. Check for any promotional codes or first-time user discounts.
6. Local Clubs or Associations: Sometimes local automotive clubs or associations offer their members discounted roadside assistance. If you belong to a car club, inquire about any available services.
7. Subscription Services: Some companies offer monthly or yearly subscriptions for roadside assistance. Evaluate your driving habits to determine if this could save you money compared to pay-per-use services.
Membership Plans: They offer two main types of roadside assistance plans:
- Basic Membership: Includes standard towing, battery jump-starts, flat tire changes, and lockout services.
- Premium Membership: Includes all basic services plus additional benefits like bike assistance, RV coverage, and discounts on eco-friendly products.
Tips for Finding the Best Deal:
- Compare Plans: Look at different plans and what services they cover (towing distance, battery jump-starts, lockout services, etc.).
- Read Reviews: Research customer reviews to gauge reliability and service quality.
- Check for Discounts: Look for promotional codes and seasonal discounts before purchasing.
Always ensure that the service you choose meets your specific needs and has good customer service ratings.
