GETTING ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FOR SENIORS AND THOSE WHO NEED ASSITANCE

Roads are safer when we all drive responsibly. However, the unexpected happens, sometimes. Seniors are more prone to driving mishaps than other drivers; as such they can use a little assistance when it comes to getting back on the road again. Fortunately, there are several different ways you can get roadside assistance for your parents or other elderly relatives: The key is finding the right one for them rather than for you. Roadside assistance is a service that most auto insurance providers will offer as part of their regular policy. Towing Bethesda works with almost all auto insurance companies. Some insurance firms provide this kind of service at an optional extra charge, so you might need to do a bit of research beforehand to find out which insurer offers it.

What is Roadside Assistance?

Roadside assistance is a service that most auto insurance providers will provide as part of their regular policy. The service is meant to cover things like emergency towing and other non-emergent repairs that are needed while a car is out of service. Most providers make it an optional extra charge, so you might need to do a bit of research beforehand to find out which insurer offers it. If you’re going to be without your car for some time while it undergoes repairs, this guide will show you how to get road side assistance without having to play phone tag with insurance companies.

How to Get Roadside Assistance for Seniors

If your parents or other elderly relatives have comprehensive car insurance, there are likely to be several different ways you can get road side assistance for them. Some companies will offer a special offer for senior drivers, for example. Others will have a special assistance program for people who are frail or disabled. In both cases, you’ll want to make sure you have the right policy and then find the right agent. Once that’s done, you’ll be able to get the assistance that your elderly loved one needs. The key is finding the right one for them rather than you.

What does Roadside Assistance Cost?

Typically, you’ll be charged a fee by the hour for each hour your car is at the shop. This fee is usually charged to your auto insurance company as part of the overall claim, though it may be included in your premium if you have a company that offers it as an optional extra. For those whose providers do not cover this feature, you may have to pay out of pocket. The cost is usually nominal, dependent on what kind of help you need. Towing Bethesda will give you an estimate when you call them, so that there won’t be any surprises in the cost.

Where to Find Roadside Assistance Information

Contact Towing Bethesda now, we’ll be glad to guide you with a free consultation call. One of the best places to start your search for roadside assistance information is your own auto insurance policy. You’ll have to check the details of your cover, but most policies will include a section on road side assistance. Particularly if you’ve had a few claims under your policy, this section will be detailed and comprehensive. If you don’t have that information in your own policy, you’ll also find it listed in most auto insurance company directories. Once you’ve located the information on road side assistance, you’ll need to find out what is included in your policy’s coverage. This will vary from one provider to another, but it should generally include towing, flat repairs, minor collision damage and one-way travel. It’s also a good idea to find out how long the provider’s coverage is valid for. Some companies will only honor a road side assistance request for a limited amount of time.

Getting an Agent on the Line

If you’re going to get a direct-to-customer contract with a roadside assistance provider, you’ll need to get an agent on the line and establish a contract. Most roadside assistance providers offer this service, and it’s a good idea to get on the phone and get the contract drawn up. Most companies will have a 15 or 30-minute time frame for this. Make sure you get all the information you need, including the duration of the contract, the premium, any deductibles and the address for service requests. If you don’t have time for this, or you’re just going to get a one-off contract rather than a regular subscription, you can still get a few things done. Make sure you get the agent’s name, telephone number and address, and any other important details you don’t have yet. Once you’ve done this, you can then get the contract drawn up and start the process of getting road side assistance for your parents or other elderly loved one.

How to Cancel or Change a Service Order or Claim Estimate

Every provider is different, but you should be able to switch providers or cancel the contract within 30 days and get a full refund. The same goes for changing providers or getting estimates. If you decide you want to change your provider or switch to another provider, you can do so within thirty days for a full refund. The only thing you can’t do is cancel the contract after you’ve started the process. It’s a good idea to start the process early, as you’ll want to get any request for assistance in before you’re out of contract. You should also keep all your records from the original call such as notes from your agent or the address you were given.

The Bottom Line
