Does Safeco cover a locksmith for keys locked in a car?

Because towing coverage varies so much from policy to policy, it’s important to know exactly what is covered by speaking to your insurer directly. When purchased as an add-on, towing coverage typically includes:

• Flat-tire changes
• Jumpstarts and battery replacements
• Fuel delivery if you run out of gas
• Locksmith services

Third-party providers offer the same roadside services you would get by adding on to your insurance policy, but some have extra perks. AAA, for example, offers free trip-planning tools, identity theft monitoring, and thousands of shopping, entertainment, and dining discounts.
