How would you feel being stranded in a strange city with no one to call and a car that was out of commission?

Well, this very thing happened to me the other day. I was driving in a city that I know vaguely and ended up getting myself lost. Just to make matters worse, I ended up getting a flat...probably the WORST time that could happen too and not in the nicest part of town. But I had learned my lesson several years ago when I had an accident and wasn't covered with roadside assistance. The $50 I had to pay to get my car towed plus other expenses and hassles were enough to convince me to fork over the extra few dollars per month for roadside assistance. By doing so and having that available during this latest incident, I was back up and running in no time and didn't have to worry about anything except how quickly I could get the heck out of this not-so-nice part of town I had bumbled into.

Now a lot of people (especially us guys) will just figure we can change the tire ourselves or take care of whatever might happen, so why pay an extra fee for a service you may not use. Does that sound familiar? Well one thing to keep in mind is that you may not be in an area where you know a towing company or repair shop that's nearby (like if you're traveling out of town). In addition, what happens in something happens to your car in the middle of the night? Or what if it's something that can't be fixed as easily as a blown tire...maybe an engine problem or something else more serious? For the small monthly fee, it's great peace of mind knowing that you can give a quick call to your car insurance company and have someone there on-site within minutes, pretty much any time of the day. And best of all, the insurance company covers the bill, either in whole or in part.

But how much extra are you going to have to pay per month? Well with most car insurance companies, roadside assistance is pretty cheap, usually somewhere in the $5 - $10 per month range and even that might be a bit higher than you'll actually pay. By adding that to your plan, you'll typically get free towing (within a certain range) and on-site service for minor roadside problems like running out of gas, having a blow tire, or similar little driving mishaps that hit us all from time to time.
