Road assistance and auto-rescue services are offered through a number of different companies, and each one has its own rates and packages. Some offer very basic roadside-emergency assistance while others offer comprehensive auto services perfect for a frequent driver.

Important Auto-Rescue Road Services

The single most important road-assistance service drivers need is towing. Most of the major roadside-rescue companies offer free towing to their members. Additionally, flat tire repair tire service is another valuable benefit, as very few RVs come equipped with a spare and even if they did it can be dangerous to change a tire on such a large vehicle.

Comparing Road-Service Packages

When drivers are trying to choose a road-service provider, it's important to look at the terms of service. For example, some providers offer free towing, but only to a distance of seven miles. That does a driver no good if he's on a long-distance vacation and needs to get their RV to the nearest independent service center and it is further than the towing company is willing to transport their vehicle. Drivers should look for a road service offering distance towing if they know they're going to be traveling long distances with their vehicles. They should also find out about the cost and/or discounts associated with car rentals in case they ever have emergencies. Some companies offer complimentary rentals while others offer them at reduced cost.
