AARP Roadside Assistance

by

roadside assistanceThere are some good roadside clubs out there, and with all the stress and worries we face every day, it’s good to have something you can depend on and trust to be there when you need it.  AARP roadside assistance is a very large, corporately owned political giant. If you want something similar with more benefits, check out Best Roadside Service. This type of coverage is great for everyone, whether you drive long-distances, travel often or just make a trip to town once a week. It offers 24-hour service anytime you’re traveling in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Traveling is fun and exciting but the thought of getting stranded somewhere on the highway can be very scary. This is especially true when it’s somewhere you’re not familiar with or when traveling during the night. No one wants to be broken down on the side of the road miles away from anything but when you have a good roadside assistance company; you can rest assured that help is on the way. AARP has call centers in India, so you might be disappointed when you speak to someone whose English is not their 1st language. Imagine being broken down and the person your speaking with cannot understand you.

Best Roadside Service has call centers in the US only. This provides you great peace of mind as you take long drives or cross-country trips with your family and friends. Even if you’re just driving into town to shop or visit with friends, you never have to worry about what will happen if something goes wrong with your vehicle. You know you won’t be stranded because all you have to do is call us.

AARP’s prices are more expensive than Best Roadside, usually averaging around $90 vs. $65.

Here are some of the things covered by AARP roadside assistance:

  • Towing – If your transmission breaks, your engine blows or you’re in an accident, AARP will tow your vehicle to a garage or home.
  • Flat Tire – They will come out and change the tire for you when you have a flat.
  • Gas – If you run out of gas, they will bring you enough to get you to the nearest service station.
  • Dead Batteries – If your battery dies, they’ll get you running again.
  • Keys Locked In Cars – If you lock your keys in the car, they will send out a locksmith.
  • Lost or stolen ignition key – They will provide a replacement.

AARP roadside assistance program does not allow unlimited 24 concierge service like we do. If you need directions, hotel or car rental information or just traffic updates, we can provide that to you at no additional charge, and all answered by a live person here in the U.S.

You can begin using the services right away if you sign up online and you can even cover other members of your family. You’ll love the peace of mind it provides when traveling. Compared to AARP, Best Roadside Service has a better price, no age restrictions, unlimited concierge calls and a U.S. based call center.

Roadside Service Plans – How to Compare Companies

by

Shopping for a roadside service plan is much like shopping for car insurance or an auto warranty. You want to ask the right questions and compare the answers each company gives you.

As you shop for a roadside service plan, make sure to ask each company’s representatives these two critical questions: How much coverage does this plan offer, and how much will I have to pay for the coverage?

How Much Coverage Will You Get?

Your roadside service plan should offer the kinds of coverage that you aren’t able to provide for yourself and that you aren’t able to get from nearby family members or friends. In other words, the kind of coverage you need someone else to help you with should you find yourself in trouble. This coverage may include helping you retrieve your keys from a locked vehicle, providing you with at least enough fuel to get to a gas station, and helping you get from one place to another if your car breaks down. As you compare companies, make sure to pay attention to the kinds of coverage each one provides, determine whether it’s enough for you, and even ask about add-on services.

In addition to the kinds of coverage the roadside assistance plan offers, you also need to know how far that coverage extends. For example, if you live in West Virginia but are visiting friends in Colorado, will the company that provides your roadside assistance services help you if your car breaks down? Find out if there are boundaries to your coverage.

How Much Will You Have to Pay?

Obviously, you want to know how much you’re going to have to pay monthly or annually to keep your roadside service plan, and you want to compare the prices of various companies.

However, you should also ask about additional charges you may see. Keep these questions in mind as you research each company:

  • If your company places a limit on how many times you can use your plan, will you have to pay extra money if you go over that limit?
  • How much does it cost to add an additional vehicle to the plan?
  • Are there additional charges if you find yourself in need of services in another city or state?

If the company does charge extra for certain kinds of coverage, you need to determine whether or not these additional costs are likely to affect you and whether you’re willing to pay them if they do.
