INSURANCE & PARTNERS:

This type of coverage is usually offered by car insurance providers in the form of roadside assistance or breakdown assistance.

Roadside assistance provides assistance when your vehicle breaks down, becomes stranded or is involved in an accident while you are commuting or travelling. Common services include towing your vehicle to the nearest repair shop, changing flat tyres, refuelling if you run out of fuel and helping to unlock your car if you have locked your keys inside. Depending on the plan you choose, this assistance may also include covering emergency medical expenses, dispatching a taxi or arranging temporary accommodation if necessary.

There are different levels of protection in this area. Some policies may be limited to work on departmental and national roads, while others extend their coverage to motorways, tunnels and toll bridges. Similarly, some policies may limit the number of annual interventions or impose a financial ceiling on the amount of benefits granted. So be sure to compare the options carefully before making your choice.

To benefit from these advantages, it is generally advisable to contact your insurer's customer service directly, who will then coordinate the appropriate intervention. Also remember that it is important to keep all documents relating to your car insurance on hand to facilitate the process if necessary.
