Life behind the wheel can bring unexpected surprises. While we all wish for smooth travels, sometimes there are bumps in the road.
Maybe you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car. Moments like these are stressful, but they don’t have to stop you in your tracks. With coverage like Emergency Roadside Service from American Family Insurance, you could quickly and safely be on your way again.

Here are some of the ways emergency roadside assistance offers support when you’re on the go:
Trouble-free towing. If your car breaks down and you can’t make it to a repair shop, one call to 1-800-MYAMFAM could have a tow truck headed your way.
Battery jump-start. No jumper cables? Unsure which clamp goes where? Our roadside assistance experts can help jump your battery and get you moving again.
Tire service. Our professionals may patch or change your tire so you can get rolling. The cost of the tire and patch aren’t covered, but the labor is.
Fuel and oil delivery. If you run out of gas or oil while on the road, we may bring it to you — you’d just pay for the fuel or oil.
Locksmith service. Locked out of your vehicle? A trusted locksmith could help you get back in. Coverage includes the cost of service, not the replacement of locks or keys.
Exact services vary, depending on your insurer and the specific details and limits of your coverage. Contact an American Family agent today to discuss how emergency roadside assistance could help if the unexpected happens.

Emergency Roadside Service is an affordable add-on to your American Family Insurance auto policy — its annual price less than a dinner out for two.
Paying out of pocket for any individual emergency roadside service could end up costing more than the yearly premium for this coverage. That’s why it pays to be proactive and enroll. Plus, you’ll have added peace of mind knowing help is available 24/7, whenever you need it.
