Overview
Roadside assistance is a small add-on — typically $1–$3 per month per vehicle — that covers towing, lockout service, dead batteries, flat tires, and fuel delivery. In a city the size of El Paso, a single tow can easily run $150–$400 out of pocket.
Key benefits
- Towing up to the policy limit
