Emergency roadside service refers to a number of different highway and surface-street services offered by towing companies and car-rescue companies. Whether a driver has run out of gas and needs their tank filled or suffers a flat and needs assistance putting on the spare, a towing and roadside-rescue company offers aid. Not all, however, offer 24-hour aid.

Emergency road services help drivers maintain access to round-the-clock assistance. That's because they routinely partner with only those companies that will look after their members all day long, all year round. When a driver joins an auto club, he'll be able to receive emergency roadside services even on holidays when other towing companies are shut down.

Emergency Roadside Service and Response Times

Drivers who need emergency roadside service shouldn't have to wait hours in order to get rescued. This is especially true when they're stranded on the highway with little to do but sit and wait, hoping someone will render assistance. Some 24-hour towing providers may take two or more hours to arrive, which can leave drivers stranded in the cold, the heat or in the middle of the road where they're causing traffic problems. Auto club members, however, commonly enjoy road service response times under one hour.
