Why the Extras Matter
Roadside assistance and rental reimbursement are not just conveniences; they protect drivers from unexpected costs after a breakdown or accident. Without them, a simple flat tire can turn into a $200 out‑of‑pocket expense, and a totaled vehicle can leave you stranded for days. Including these benefits in a policy keeps you covered when you need it most.
