For anyone who prefers to travel by car (whether long distance or nearby), the roadside assistance package with your car insurance includes all the coverage you need.

The fact is that services vary considerably within an insurance company and, furthermore, even within the same company it is possible to offer different service packages.

So, what help can you rely on when you purchase a quality road maintenance package with insurance from leading insurance companies?

A car crashed.

If your car breaks down or you have an accident and can't keep moving, the insurance company will provide a tow truck - repatriation. The good package for roadside assistance includes towing without distance limit.

In practice, this means that if you are forced to leave your car at a garage as a result of an accident while travelling, you choose where the repairs are carried out.

Local technical assistance.

If the damage to the car or the faults resulting from an accident can be repaired on the spot, the insurance company will provide insurance for a mechanic and pay for his work within the amounts stated in the policy.

Replacing a flat tire.

If a tire blows out, Roadside Assistance will send a technician to replace it with a spare. This usually takes no more than forty minutes. In addition, keep in mind that in some cases insurance companies offer special terms that cover not only the work of replacing the tire, but also the cost of the rim if it is damaged.

Fuel problems.

If you run out of fuel on the road, the insurance company will arrange for the car to be towed to the nearest petrol station. If you accidentally fill up with petrol instead of diesel, or vice versa (and this does happen), the insurance company will pay to tow it to the garage.

Hotel for the insured.

If the breakdown or accident occurred outside the city where you live and the car repair was delayed, you can count on the insurance company to pay for your stay in a hotel for a few days up to the amount stated in the contract. The number of these days is specified in the insurance conditions and generally depends on whether the event occurred in Bulgaria or abroad.

Spare car.

If your car ends up in the shop and repairs take time, you'll be provided with a free, replacement car. As a rule, the use of a spare car is limited. With good insurance it can take up to two weeks, which in most cases is enough time to complete the repair.

Round-the-clock support.

Reliable insurance companies offer round-the-clock roadside assistance, so even if the incident happened on a Sunday, you will immediately be offered an option for the quickest resolution.

Taking out car insurance will give you peace of mind while driving.
