Progressive roadside assistance has a towing limit of 15 miles or to the nearest qualified repair shop. You can choose to have your car towed to a shop that isn't the closest one, but you will have to pay for the extra mileage. Specific roadside assistance coverage may vary by state, however, so drivers should check their Progressive policy to learn the exact limits and exclusions of their plan.
In general, purchasing roadside assistance from a car insurance company is less expensive than purchasing a motor club membership from companies like Better World Club or AAA. Coverage might be more limited, though. To see how Progressive roadside assistance compares to the competition, check out the table below.

| Car Insurance Company | Annual Cost of Roadside Assistance | Towing Limit |
