While things are certainly better now that we all have cell phones, it still feels very dangerous to be trapped there. As well, it ruins your entire day. Who has time to wait hours and hours for help, or to walk to the nearest gas station?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don&#8217;t want this to happen to you, you should <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/en\/product\/roadside-assistance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">add roadside assistance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to your auto insurance policy before the nightmare scenario happens. Before you do, you probably have a few questions. Do you need it? How long does roadside assistance take? Pronto Insurance is here to answer it all!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Roadside Assistance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/advisor\/car-insurance\/roadside-assistance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forbes tells us<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that cars older than 10 years are more than twice as likely to end up on the side of the road and more than four times as likely to need a tow. If you have an older car, you should definitely look into this. Roadside assistance provides care-free driving. It is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. When you add roadside assistance to any <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/california-auto-insurance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">type of auto insurance policy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you will be provided with prompt service to assist you with:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Towing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jump Starts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tire Changes (with your inflated spare)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vehicle Fluid Delivery (cost of fluids extra)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lockout Assistance (cost of key cutting \/replacement extra)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concierge Service (emergency phone call support &amp; assistance)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Long Does Roadside Assistance Take?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just how &#8220;prompt&#8221; is this service, though? How long will you be waiting for help to arrive?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not surprisingly, how long you wait for roadside service depends on what you&#8217;re calling from. If you&#8217;re broken down in the middle of a busy intersection, you&#8217;re going to get help a lot faster than if you get a flat tire down a winding country road miles out of town.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, the average wait time is around 30 minutes. However, it may take up to 50-60 minutes to get help, depending on the weather, distance, and the service needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roadside Assistance Through Pronto Insurance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to traditional benefits, like emergency roadside assistance, Pronto\u2019s Roadside Assistance Program also includes many perks.
