Roadside assistance
What is roadside assistance?
Roadside assistance is a benefit that sends help if your vehicle breaks down or you are stranded - jump-starts, tyre changes, fuel delivery, locksmith help or towing. It is included in many comprehensive policies or offered as an add-on.
Example
After a flat battery on the highway, you call your roadside assistance line and a technician arrives to jump-start the car.
