While many people are well aware of the benefits of a personal roadside assistance program, and wouldn’t think of going on the road without such coverage, when it comes to business owners, many don’t think about covering their company vehicles and employees in the same way.
Why commercial roadside assistance is crucial to your business
Having a commercial roadside assistance plan can be as beneficial, or even more so than your personal roadside assistance plan. Any business that uses a vehicle for any work activity should be covered through a roadside assistance plan, including business-owned vehicles such as commercial, rental, fleet or construction vehicles.
Commercial roadside assistance plans typically cover the vehicles rather than the driver or the specific individual, allowing your company to assign any driver to any vehicle and still receive the coverage and service that you need at any time.
From one car to 1000, both small and large company vehicles can be covered. Roadside service plans are provided to hospitals, banks, insurance companies, high schools, college universities, government agencies, non-profit organizations, construction companies, delivery service companies, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes and many others.
The specific benefits of commercial roadside assistance
Just some of the benefits of commercial roadside assistance can include minor mechanical repair, battery service, tire changes and emergency fuel and/or water delivery – all services that can get your or your employee back on the road safely and quickly.
Who hasn’t locked their keys in the car at one time or another? With commercial roadside assistance coverage, if you or one of your employees inadvertently lock the keys inside a company vehicle, lockout service is provided using conventional tools to open the vehicle and retrieve the keys.
Employees who have a delivery to make or a scheduled appointment with a client may have difficulty finding a location. Directions and map routing are another valuable tool that can be provided to help a lost employee or to use as a beneficial travel tool to avoid the frustration of locating hard to find destinations.
Commercial roadside assistance is always a valuable resource for any company with a wealth of benefits and services that can often save the company more money than if they were to pay for services separately.
