Do Motorcycle Insurance Holders Have Roadside Assistance? 

Whether you have roadside assistance with your motorcycle insurance coverage varies depending on the insurance provider and the specific policy.

What is Roadside Assistance?

Roadside assistance is a service designed to help you when your motorcycle breaks down or encounters other issues while you’re on the road, and may include the following:

• Towing service—If your motorcycle cannot be repaired on-site, it can be towed to the nearest repair facility.

• Battery failure—If your battery dies, a technician can come to jump-start it.

• Flat tire repair—If a flat tire strands you, a towing service can take your bike to the nearest shop where they can repair or replace your tire. Roadside assistance does not typically cover the cost of tire repair or replacement.

• Fuel delivery—If you run out of gas, fuel can be delivered to get you back on the road and to the nearest gas station.

• Lockout service—If you accidentally lock your key in your motorcycle’s storage compartment, a technician can help you open the compartment to retrieve it.

Why Consider Adding it?

While some riders may feel confident handling minor repairs themselves, there are several reasons why adding roadside assistance to your motorcycle insurance policy can be beneficial:

• Convenience—Having a professional handle the issue saves time and effort.

• Safety—Being stranded on the side of the road can be dangerous.

• Cost savings—The cost of a single tow or emergency service can be high, but it may help cover these expenses.

How to Get Roadside Assistance

Before you explore adding roadside assistance coverage to your motorcycle insurance policy, review your existing insurance policy to see if it is already included. If you don’t have this coverage, your agent can get you a quote and help you add it to your existing policy.
