WHAT ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ACTUALLY COVERS
Most roadside assistance plans cover the essential services you need when you're stranded: flat tire changes using your spare, battery jump-starts if your car won't start, fuel delivery if you run out of gas (you pay for the gas, they pay for delivery), lockout service if you lock your keys in the car, and towing up to a certain mile limit—usually 10 to 100 miles depending on your policy—to the nearest qualified repair shop. Some plans also cover winching if you slide off the road or get stuck, which matters on Wyoming's rural highways and Colorado mountain roads. This coverage typically costs just $5-15 per month added to your auto insurance and can save you $75-400 per service call when you need help.
WHAT IT DOESN'T COVER (AND WHAT COSTS EXTRA)
Roadside assistance typically won't cover towing beyond your policy's mile limit—if you break down in Rawlins and need a tow to Casper (120 miles), you'll pay out-of-pocket for miles beyond your limit. It usually doesn't cover mechanical repairs themselves, just getting you to the shop. Most plans limit how many service calls you can make per year, typically 3-5 times. And if you're stuck because of driver error in an off-road area or during illegal activity, that's generally not covered. Important for Wyoming: if you're way out on a ranch road or remote BLM land, towing from extremely remote areas may exceed standard coverage limits and cost extra.
DO YOU NEED IT? DEPENDS ON YOUR SITUATION
If you drive an older vehicle, routinely travel rural Wyoming or Colorado highways, or don't have AAA or a credit card with roadside coverage, adding it to your auto insurance makes sense. It's especially valuable for families with teen drivers who might run out of gas or lock keys in the car. If you drive a newer vehicle still under warranty that includes free roadside assistance, you may already have this coverage and don't need to pay for it twice—check your warranty paperwork. For most Casper and Northern Colorado drivers, roadside assistance costs less per year than a single tow from I-25 to town, making it worthwhile peace of mind.
Looking for more FAQs?
Roadside assistance is usually an affordable add-on, often costing less than $5-10 per month. This can save you hundreds on unexpected towing or repair calls, especially driving through rural Wyoming or Colorado.
Basic plans cover essential services with mileage limits for towing. Premium plans often include extended towing distances, winching service, trip interruption benefits, and sometimes even rental car reimbursement, offering broader protection for longer trips across the Rockies.
Response times can vary based on location and time of day, but providers aim for 30-60 minutes in populated areas. In more remote parts of Wyoming or Colorado, it might take a bit longer, but help is dispatched immediately.
