GEICO roadside assistance costs as little as $14 per car per year, though exact prices may vary depending on your state and your vehicle. GEICO’s 24/7 roadside assistance is extra coverage you can add to your policy, and examples of covered services include towing, winching, jump-starts, and fuel delivery.
You can request roadside assistance online, over the phone, or through the GEICO app. If you use the GEICO app to request help, GEICO will be able to pinpoint your exact location, and you will have access to a service tracker so you can see when help is on the way.
GEICO Roadside Assistance Includes:
- Towing to the nearest repair facility
- Battery jump-starts
- Tire changes
- Winching service
- Fuel delivery
- Lockout services (up to $100)
GEICO roadside assistance is meant to help drivers in need of immediate rescue, and it usually does not pay to fix an underlying problem, such as a faulty engine or an old battery. Additionally, the exact number of incidents covered by a GEICO roadside assistance plan will vary by policy.
Purchasing roadside assistance from GEICO is usually less expensive than a motor club membership from a company such as AAA. However, it might not provide as much coverage.
