The tow provider closest to the member, with the proper equipment and who is first available for a timely dispatch, would be called to provide service to your breakdown location.
The signup fee is not an introductory rate. We cannot however guarantee that it will stay at that rate forever. With inflation and possible fuel price increases, the rates will someday increase. Rest assured that we do everything possible to make the rates as affordable as possible for our members. To date we have had only one price increase.
Yes. The emergency roadside assistance phone number is toll-free and is provided to approved members only.
All 50 states in the US and all Canadian provinces.
One vehicle is covered. You can also sign up more than one vehicle. Each vehicle will get 6 service calls. The policy is attached to that vehicle and anyone driving that vehicle will be covered. You can purchase coverage for each additional vehicle at the discounted rate.
The vehicle plan covers you no matter what vehicle you’re in. This is good if you have multiple drivers and one or two vehicles. The individual plan covers you in any vehicle (non-commercial or non-company vehicles not covered). This plan is great if you want the extra protection of being covered in multiple vehicles.
Our vehicle plan has 6 calls per plan per vehicle. The individual plans have 4 calls for the single person plan and the couple/family plans have 6 calls that can be shared between the members.
You can sign up to 4 vehicles at one time. If you need to sign up an extra vehicle at a later date other than the date you originally signed up your vehicles, you will have to do that as a separate account.
The phone number to our sales desk is toll free at 866-730-7673.
Should your vehicle become disabled, Best Roadside will arrange and pay for qualifying services. Should a member need service that is beyond our coverage and services then we will arrange service that can be paid directly to the service provider by the member.
We have provided roadside assistance for over 25 years to dealerships and our commercial customers throughout North America. Only recently have we offered our services to our individual customers online. We still offer the same services and the same technology as with all of our commercial and corporate accounts.
Your membership information and the 800 number to our roadside assistance center is all provided upon approval as a member. This information is sent via email. This allows us to offer better services for a lower cost than our competitors. Upon signing up please remember to add support@bestroadsideservice to your safe sender's list. All of your membership information will come from this email address.
Our nationwide average response time is 30 minutes. This can vary greatly depending on the location of your vehicle, weather and distance from nearest provider of the service that is needed. As an example, should your vehicle become disabled near a major city during light traffic hours and during good weather, your wait should be less than 30 minutes. If your vehicle becomes disabled on a holiday, during bad weather far from a major city then the wait could be longer than 30 minutes.
We require a five business day waiting period before new accounts can become active. The soonest that we can provide service is one week (seven calendar days) from your purchase date. This restriction is in place to ensure that the service is only used to service disablements that happen after the date of activation.
Our roadside assistance service will tow your vehicle to the nearest, most qualified, repair facility up to 75 miles. If the repair facility is further than 75 miles away, then we will make arrangements for you to pay the difference directly to the towing service provider. Tow rates vary across the United States and Canada but range between $2 and $4 per mile.
Our service currently allows vehicles whose Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is less than 12,500 lbs. We do our best to make sure that the weight of your vehicle is verified upon approval but ultimately it is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to make sure that the GVW is less than 12,500 lbs.
We will work with you to get your car towed to the best qualified repair facility. We do not tow to your home.
Many competing companies charge the going rate for the fuel that is delivered. Since our service is a premium grade membership, the cost of the fuel delivered is already included in your membership. If you ever run out of gas, you do not have to worry about how you will pay for it. It is already covered.
In the event that a member runs out of gas, we will deliver 3 gallons of gas free of charge. Even the cost of the fuel is included in your membership. If used, this service is not again available for a period of four weeks.
Should you get a flat tire on while traveling, we will dispatch a service technician that will arrive and swap your flat tire for the spare tire that is with your vehicle. It is the responsibility of the member to have a working spare with the vehicle at all times. Should the member have a flat tire without a working spare, Best Roadside Service will not be able to offer towing as an alternate solution. For Motorcycles, a flatbed will always be used for flat tires.
If you leave your lights on or find that your battery has been drained, we will send a service technician to your location in order to jump start your vehicle. Once jump started, your vehicle will be able to run and continue running until your vehicle is turned off again. Jump starting a vehicle is very different from charging a battery. Charging a battery consists of connecting a power source to a battery for a long period of time in order to give the battery the power needed to start the motor itself. We do not offer a battery charge. We do not offer any service to fix or replace dead batteries or batteries that will not hold a charge. If your battery will hold a charge, it will charge while the motor is running.
If you lose your keys, we will allow up to $100 for a temporary key in order to get you on your way again. This part of the service is only a dollar value due to the extreme variations in locksmith costs and methods.
We only unlock your doors using manufacturer approved tools and methods.
We send out renewal notices via email at 60, 30 and 7 days before your yearly membership expires. This email will contain a link to where you can pay and renew.
At any time while you are traveling, you can call the 800 number to our roadside assistance center and we can provide turn-by-turn directions or email a package of trip directions directly to your email address. Many times when a person is traveling plans can change. In this case call us and we can make new hotel/travel/rental car arrangements for you and also route you to the new destination. We can also find landmarks/restaurants/ and ATM's for you and relay messages on your behalf to other family members.
Currently the only option for payment is yearly. This offers an easy renewal once per year.
If you need a refund for any reason, we can pro-rate the refund for full unused months less a $10 administrative fee. If you have used the service for any reason, there will be no refunds given.
