What is roadside assistance insurance?
To help lessen the hassle of a break down, State Farm® offers emergency road service coverage. For a covered event, we'll help pay for the common reasonable expenses, such as towing, to help with a vehicle breakdown.
Are coverages different for an electric car or truck?
What does roadside assistance cover?
If you have emergency road service coverage, and your vehicle breaks down or becomes disabled, we'll help pay for reasonable, emergency services.
- Mechanical labor at the breakdown site (up to one hour).
- Towing to the nearest repair location if the covered vehicle is not drivable.
- Towing if the covered vehicle is stuck on or immediately next to a public road.
- Delivery of gas, oil, battery, or change of tire (but not the cost of these or similar items) necessary to return a covered vehicle back to driving condition.
- Locksmith labor to unlock a covered vehicle if its key is lost, stolen, or locked inside the vehicle (up to one hour).
What isn’t covered by emergency road service coverage?
Some limitations to roadside assistance coverage are:
- Towing costs beyond what it would cost to tow your vehicle to the nearest repair facility
- Labor costs beyond the first hour
Please speak with an agent or check your policy for additional coverage limitations.
