Roadside Recovery Schemes: 3 Benefits
Every driver dreads breaking down or running out of fuel and being left stranded at the side of the road. Even if you take good care of your vehicle, you may still suffer a mechanical failure which means you are unable to continue your journey. By signing up to a roadside assistance scheme, you can give yourself peace of mind that if the worst does happen, someone will be able to help you. Below is a guide to 3 major benefits of registering with a roadside assistance company.
Roadside Repair and Towing
As well as being vehicle recovery specialist, the majority of contractors who work for roadside assistance companies are also trained mechanics. When the tow truck arrives, the contractor will first inspect your car to see if they are able to repair it so you can continue your journey. If they are unable to repair the vehicle, they will attach it to the recovery vehicle and tow it to the nearest auto repair shop. As a member of a roadside assistance scheme, the cost of recovery will normally be covered by the monthly payments you have already made. This will help you to avoid the additional fees associated with private recovery companies.
Fuel Delivery
Once you leave large Australian cities, it can sometimes be difficult to find a gas station. One benefit of signing up with a towing and roadside assistance scheme is that the company may offer a fuel delivery service. This means that if you find yourself out of gas by the side of the road, the recovery company will dispatch a contractor with a can of fuel. The fuel should enable you to make it to the next gas station so you can fill your tank.
Additional Discounts and Offers
Many other businesses such as travel companies, restaurant chains and budget hotels will offer discounts to members of roadside recovery schemes. By simply showing your membership card when you book in, you can receive a discount or other special offers. You may also be able to negotiate a reduction of your car insurance, as being a member of a recovery service helps to reduce the risk that you will make a claim.
There is a range of benefits to signing up with a tow truck and roadside recovery service. If you are interested in finding out more, you should contact a tow company today. The staff will be happy to talk you through the membership programme and the benefits you can expect to receive.
