There are many good companies that offer roadside assistance with nationwide coverage. Purchasing a roadside assistance contract from a company that can assure you the same service in California as well as in Michigan or in Florida is the best choice and won't cost you much: purchasing roadside assistance from a local company without a nationwide network of connected service stations would limit your serviced area, and would cost you the same if not more.
Roadside assistance is usually provided to a motorist whose vehicle experiences a breakdown or mechanical failure. This service is often given with a motorist's full coverage insurance policy although it may also be offered by a credit card company, with the purchase of tires or with a new vehicle.
One of the best things about roadside assistance is the guarantee that someone will be there to help, no matter the time or place. There are few things worse than the feeling someone gets when they have just run out of gas miles away from anything or anyone. Knowing that there is someone who can help with a simple phone call can make a very big difference when stranded. It can bring a sense of calm knowing someone is on their way to help.
