It\u2019s a good idea to have roadside assistance on your <\/span>auto insurance<\/span><\/a> policy. This is true whether you\u2019re trying to coax a few more miles out of that, er, \u201cclassic\u201d vehicle or you just drove your new car off the dealership lot.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Roadside assistance means that all you have to do is call a toll-free number 24 hours a day\u2014weekends and holidays included\u2014to get help for whatever left you and your ride stranded on the side of a Georgia road, in a parking lot, or even in your own driveway.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So What Does Roadside Assistance Cover in GA?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Think of any reason you, your spouse, or perhaps your teenage driver might get stranded in a car. For example, a flat tire, a dead battery, or an unforeseen car repair that has you stopped on the road. With roadside assistance, you can call for free help from an expert.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An automotive technician will show up day or night to deliver gas, charge a dead battery, change a tire, or tow your vehicle to a nearby service station\u2014whatever assistance you need to get your car back in action.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are four scenarios (among countless others) that illustrate how easy it can be to get stranded and how a roadside assistance technician will ride in like a superhero.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIgnore the Warning Light\uff0dWe\u2019ve Got Plenty of Gas\u201d<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

That gasoline warning light comes on way too early. You\u2019ve still got miles and miles to go before you actually need to stop\u2014right? Besides, you\u2019re in a hurry and the nearest service station is out of your way. Or your <\/span>teenage driver<\/span><\/a> is out late, it\u2019s nearly curfew, and a couple of gallons of gas isn\u2019t in their budget anyway.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many drivers have had the embarrassment of getting caught at the side of the road with a perfectly healthy car that\u2019s just thirsty for gasoline. Whatever the cause, a quick call to your roadside assistance dispatcher will get you help in the form of a service technician with a couple of gallons of gas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Did We Just Run Over?\u201d<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Sometimes you know you\u2019re in trouble even before your car shimmies and gets hard to steer and you must pull over with a flat. You just know that piece of mangled metal you ran over will cause big trouble.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Other times, you\u2019re driving on tires so bald that you\u2019re not even surprised when you wake up to a flat in your driveway or a <\/span>Savannah<\/span><\/a> motel parking lot.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once again, roadside assistance comes to the rescue. Explain your situation and the technician called will either change the tire for you\u2014even on the side of a busy Atlanta highway\u2014or tow you to where you can buy a replacement.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Keys Are\u2026 <\/span><\/b>Where?<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u201d<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not your proudest moment, the day you lock your car keys in the ignition or the trunk of your car. Or maybe it\u2019s your careless teen at fault.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All is not lost. Just place a call to your roadside assistance dispatcher and you\u2019ll get a locksmith sent your way who can quickly and painlessly get you back behind the wheel.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOf Course I Turned the Headlights Off, I\u2019m Not Stupid!\u201d<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Famous last words, right? Just before you come back to your car after several hours at the mall or the next morning and get that awful sound of silence or clicking when you turn the key in the ignition.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or maybe it\u2019s an old battery that you knew was going to die eventually. The occasion when it does is usually during a heavy rainstorm, in the middle of congested traffic, or in a strange and desolate Georgia location where you don\u2019t even want to think about being stranded.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You need either a quick charge or a tow to a service garage. Either way, roadside assistance once again has your back.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Okay, But What Does Roadside Assistance Cost?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

So now you\u2019re convinced that you and your loved ones need this critical service. But it\u2019s gotta be expensive and not in the budget, right? Roadside assistance is actually easy on the budget! You can get an effective roadside assistance benefit added to your auto insurance policy for less than $10 a month. Just one middle-of-the-night dispatcher call can pay for more than a year\u2019s worth of coverage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for car insurance, consult an independent auto insurance agent.
