Anything can happen when you are on the road. You may be stuck mid way due to a flat tire, mechanical issue or running out of gas. At that time, you need assistance to reach the nearest garage or gas station. The situation can be quite frustrating and time consuming. It may come up as a big relief that most insurance companies in Killeen, TX offer roadside assistance that can save you all the hassles at a minimal cost. Most of the reputed carriers offer roadside assistance as an additional coverage to insure you against the hassles faced if the automobile breaks down. This coverage option is often provided as an inbuilt complimentary cover with car insurance plans.

Roadside assistance coverage includes:

  • Towing: This feature includes towing of vehicle within a 15-mile radius or to the nearest auto repair shop. However, it does not include any costs of repairs made to your vehicle or any parts.
  • Fuel Delivery: If you run out of gas, the coverage offers the facility to deliver the fuel directly to your location. You may be required to pay for the cost of fuel.
  • Winching Service: The insurer arranges to pull your car out of an area with chain or motor-power cable. You can avail this service if your car is trapped in snow, water, mud and sand.
  • Flat Tire Change: You can call roadside assistance services if you have a flat tire. A professional puts the spare tire on your car.
  • Locksmith Service: Often, the situation becomes awkward when you accidently leave keys inside the car or get locked outside. The insurer will send a qualified service provider to replace the keys and help you get out of your car if you have roadside assistance cover.
  • Battery Jump-start: You can call roadside assistance if the battery fails for jump-starting the car at the scene.
  • Minor Repairs: Roadside assistance also provides minor repairs if you are stuck on the road in the mid of the journey.

The roadside assistance cover ensures that you receive prompt service.
