As per the Facts and Factors research study, the vehicle roadside assistance market in the United States and Canada was valued at around USD 5,300 million in 2020, and it is projected to register revenue of about USD 6,632 million by the end of 2026, expanding at a CAGR of around 3.66% between 2021 and 2026.
When your car breaks down and you're stranded, emergency roadside assistance is an add-on coverage that comes to your rescue. It comes in handy when you have a flat tire, need to jump your car's battery, or run out of gas. Most businesses have phone operators on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Regardless of when or where you're trapped, a phone call will get help sent quickly. Even the newest cars are susceptible to common roadside issues such as, flat tires, dead batteries and lost keys, but vehicles more than 10 years older are four times more likely to experience a problem severe enough to necessitate a tow to repair centers. Car insurance providers allow you to report an emergency incident via SMS or phone call. Once the insurer has been contacted, a mechanic/patrol vehicle will be sent to the vehicle's location as soon as possible. The car will receive the required maintenance and will either be restarted or towed to a reputable garage. Some auto insurance providers have this cover as a standard feature of their comprehensive policy. Others sell it as an optional add-on insurance policy that the vehicle owner may choose to purchase.
When comparing roadside assistance insurance, the two most important factors to remember are what's covered and how much you'll pay. The cost of coverage under your current car insurance policy could range from USD 15 to USD 60 a year. A year's membership in a roadside assistance plan will cost anywhere from USD 50 to USD 360.
