Car owners, RV owners and frequent travelers recognize the need for emergency breakdown services, but there are often secondary services that get overlooked. Towing a car is one thing, but having access to a locksmith 24 hours a day or being able to receive minor repairs on the road separates basic roadside assistance from the auto clubs that keep their members safe.

Secondary Benefits of Emergency Breakdown Service and Auto-Club Membership

In addition to emergency breakdown services for the primary driver, some auto clubs extend their benefits to other members of the family. Any driver with a spouse and children under 25--who are still in college--might want to consider an auto club that covers their vehicles as well, providing both multi-vehicle and multi-driver protection. No matter who in the family gets stranded, each person will be able to use the same emergency-breakdown-service membership to receive assistance.

Another benefit that is overlooked by drivers is emergency medical referral. Any driver whose auto-club membership includes medical referral will have access to local doctors in the event of an emergency. This helps drivers find medical aid with a trusted doctor who has become a part of the auto-club network. This applies to emergency medicine as well as basic medicine in the event that a driver should fall ill during travel.
