Progressive Roadside Assistance Cost
Adding Progressive Roadside Assistance costs around $10 to $100+ a year, according to customer service representatives. The exact cost depends on where you live, what type of car you drive, and other factors. Progressive Roadside Assistance costs less than third-party memberships like AAA but you will have to carry comprehensive and collision coverage to get roadside assistance, which adds to your overall price.
How to Get Progressive Roadside Assistance
To get roadside assistance from Progressive, call the main customer service line (1-800-776-4737) to speak with an agent. If you have a policy already, you can log in online to add roadside assistance. Either way, coverage may not take effect the same day. It’s also important to note that there may be a limit to the number of roadside events your policy covers, and coverage is subject to any other details stated in your policy. That could mean service charges for certain roadside events, like being towed over a certain number of miles or to specific garages.
