3 Little Known Ways To Get Coverage For Towing Services

Blog

When it comes to an emergency where your vehicle breaks down on the side of the road, you want to be sure that you are able to call a trusted and reliable towing service as soon as possible. If you don't have a number saved in your contacts for a towing company like Jenwar Towing & Recovery or you don't have any towing coverage, you could be spending most of your time on the side of the road using your phone to call multiple towing services for quotes before you choose the best one for you. To avoid this, you should know of these three little known ways to receive towing coverage, which will guarantee you are utilizing a reputable towing company for their services at the lowest cost possible:

Credit Card Company:

If you call the number on the back of your credit card, they can help assist you with towing services. Credit card companies are great to call since they work with reputable towing companies in all areas, but they usually charge a flat fee for this service or they will provide you with the right towing company and you will have to pay for the full cost. Be sure to ask how the coverage works. Usually, if you only have to pay a flat fee, this could be cheaper than paying for a towing service at full cost. 

Cell Phone Company:

Many cell phone providers cover the cost of towing for their customers for any car that you may be in. This even includes towing for your friend or family's car, as well. You usually have to pay an annual charge as low as $40 and it only covers a certain amount before you have to pay out of pocket. So, for example, if the towing cost is $100, but your cell phone provider only covers up to $60, then you will have to pay $40 out of pocket. If you want to go this route for towing services, be sure that you add the coverage to your plan as soon as you can. 

Insurance Company:

All insurance companies provide their customers with towing services. The catch is that you usually have to have comprehensive and collision coverage on your policy, as well. However, there are many benefits for doing this. For example, some insurance companies will cover some of the hotel costs if you are staying a certain number of miles away from home. So if you want towing through your insurance, be sure to add it to your policy as soon as possible. 

By knowing these little known ways to guarantee you have towing services available to you, you can save a great deal of time and money in the case of an emergency.
