Why Your Business Fleet Needs Roadside Assistance

October 29, 2015 by Best Roadside Service

If your business uses a fleet of vehicles, then you know how difficult it can be to keep all of them up and running at once.

In fact, about 20% of typical fleets experience mechanical disablement every day.
Perhaps one or more of your employees or drivers have had issues with breakdowns or flat tires while driving one of your vehicles. This can cause a lapse in service, a loss in revenue and can cause your customers to lose trust in your business. Not to mention, this can be a dangerous situation for your employees. Even if your employee is skilled at car maintenance, changing tires, and the like, it can become a liability for your business if they were to be injured while working on your business vehicle on the side of the road.

Businesses who maintain a fleet of vehicles, whether it’s a credit union with sales people driving company cars or a college with 10 vehicles or a car rental agency or any other business that owns or leases multiple vehicles, benefit greatly from a roadside assistance plan. Whether you maintain hundreds of vehicles or just a few, plans such as the commercial fleet plan with Best Roadside Service can give a business owner peace of mind and keep their employees safe while helping them maintain their investment.

Services and Benefits to Fleet Coverage

Best Roadside Service offers business owners fleet coverage for their vehicles that comes with a wide range of services and benefits. The primary benefit, of course, is the safety and assurance it brings to you and your employees. If they’re ever stranded on the side of the road, our 24 hour emergency line will be there to assist them. Our average call response time is just 34 minutes, so they will be back on the road and back to business as quickly as possible, meaning you don’t lose income or your customer’s trust.

We are able to provide such fast service due to our state-of-the-art software, which allows us to use your cell phone to locate you while our service providers remain on the phone with you, your employees or drivers. We handle over 70,000 calls every month while maintaining a high level of service and customer satisfaction. Our service providers will change a flat tire, replace fluids, deliver gasoline, or tow a car if necessary.

Even if your business experiences lots of turnover or you have different drivers in different cars on a daily basis, our commercial roadside assistance plans can still help. Our plans cover the vehicles in your fleet – not the specific drivers. So no matter who is behind the wheel, you’ll still receive service. And no matter what type of vehicle your drivers and employees use – from compact cars to box trucks – we cover them and provide the same quality service.

Commercial clients receive the same benefits and services our individual customers receive including travel discounts and coupons, discounted rates at national hotel chains, cruise lines, amusement parks and more. Your business will also receive discounted rates at national maintenance and repair chains such as Maaco, Meineke, Jiffy Lube, Aamco and more, so you can keep your fleet up and running for less money.

We customize each plan to a specific company’s needs, so you never pay for something you don’t need and you get the exact coverage you want. To get a free quote for your fleet, email us at info@bestroadside.com. Feel free to send us a list of your fleet vehicles you’d like covered to expedite the quote process.

We have covered all kinds of company fleets including hospitals, city and state entities, insurance agencies, rental car companies, food banks, tour companies, moving companies, animal rescue services and more. Nearly any business with company vehicles can benefit from an emergency roadside plan.

Keep your business investments and your employees safe by covering your fleet vehicles with Best Roadside Service.

Why Your Sunday Driver Needs Roadside Assistance

October 19, 2015 by Best Roadside Service

The weather has finally cooled down and the leaves are starting to change. This is the time of year that many people start to take weekend drives to enjoy the scenery and cooler temperatures.

Many people may even have a pleasure car that they only drive when the weather is nice or on the weekends or for special occasions. These so called “Sunday Drivers” usually don’t see a lot of miles – they may be antique or vintage cars or they might be sports cars that just aren’t efficient or practical enough to drive every day. Whatever the case may be, many people choose not to purchase roadside assistance plans for these vehicles since they aren’t driven as often as their everyday car. But this oversight can lead to costly and aggravating headaches were something to happen during a beautiful afternoon drive through the country.

Here are just a few reasons why you should consider an emergency roadside plan for your Sunday Driver.

1. The car is an older antique or vintage model.
  You love the fact that your car represents another place and time in automotive history, but its age also means that it may be more prone to breaking down or having mechanical issues. Nothing can ruin a Sunday Drive more than being stranded on a back road. With a company like Best Roadside Service, which has an average response time of 34 minutes, you’ll be back to cruising the open road as quickly as possible.

1. You take your pleasure car for road trips.
  Many people use their pleasure car exclusively for road trips and travel. This can be a fun way to get from point A to point B, but being on the road for long periods of time can also make you more likely to experience roadside issues. Best Roadside Service plans provide 24-hour emergency roadside assistance whether you have a flat tire, run out of gas or experience a total breakdown.

1. You like to stay active when you travel.
  If you’re traveling in your pleasure car, a roadside assistance plan can also give you access to travel coupons and discounts. At Best Roadside Service they even offer their members custom map routing and turn by turn directions through their 24 hour hotline. That way you’ll never get lost, and you’ll be able to afford and enjoy more when you get to your destination.

1. You have other cars that need coverage.
  With Best Roadside Service, we give you two kinds of coverage options. You can purchase a plan that covers your vehicle, no matter who is driving it, or you can purchase a plan that covers you as an individual – no matter what vehicle you are driving. If you own a pleasure vehicle, an individual policy may be the best choice because you will still receive roadside assistance and all the benefits of the plan whether you’re driving your day-to-day car or your Sunday Driver. Individual plans are just $79.95 a year if you sign up online today!

Your Sunday Driver needs frequent maintenance.
If your Sunday Driver is an antique or older vehicle, it may need more maintenance than a newer vehicle. With Best Roadside Service, we offer discounted prices at national automotive repair shops including Jiffy Lube, Meineke, Maaco, Aamco and more. These discounts can save you a lot of money on vehicles that need frequent repair or maintenance and can keep your pleasure car driving for many miles to come.

Having a pleasure car can be a fun way to spend weekends, vacations, and enjoy beautiful fall weather, but to truly enjoy your pleasure vehicle, make sure it’s covered with a roadside assistance plan that provides all these benefits and services so that you’re never left on the side of the road. Contact Best Roadside Service to order your plan today!

Give the Gift of Roadside Safety This Grandparent’s Day

September 11, 2015 by Best Roadside Service

Grandparent’s Day became nationally recognized in 1979 when President Jimmy Carter signed a Presidential Proclamation to observe the Sunday after Labor Day as Grandparent’s Day. On this day people are encouraged to celebrate their grandparents by spending time together, giving gifts and including grandparents in school or church activities. The goal of this special day is to help children appreciate their grandparents, to learn from them, to hear their stories and become closer. This year, Grandparent’s Day falls on Sunday, September 13th, 2015.

Grandparent’s Day Special

At Best Roadside Service, we’d like to help you celebrate Grandparent’s Day by offering a $10 or $15 discount on a gift membership for the grandparents in your life. If you sign up online today, you can save $10 on a vehicle coverage gift membership. This plan will cover a vehicle, no matter who is driving it and costs just $65 with the discount. This is a great gift for a grandmother and grandfather who often ride together or drive the same vehicle. You can also save $15 off an individual coverage plan, which covers an individual no matter what vehicle they are driving, which is great for the grandparent who often drives more than one vehicle. The discounted price for this plan is just $79.95.

An emergency roadside assistance plan makes a great gift for grandparents, and it’s something they will enjoy the benefit of all year long. The average age of a first-time grandparent in the United States is just 50 years old. That means grandparents are younger and more active than ever. Most are probably still driving, many are still working and commuting every day and nearly all will do some sort of vehicular travel this year.

However, as grandparents age it can become more and more difficult and dangerous for them to do some tasks, especially those related to a roadside emergency such as changing a flat tire. A Best Roadside Service plan can help in these risky situations. All of our plans come with our 24-hour emergency assistance hotline which is entirely operated in the United States. Our average response time is just 34 minutes, so we will get help to them fast and efficiently. Our plans cover flat tires, replacing fluids, up to three gallons of gas, locksmith service, towing, jump starts and more.

Nowadays, families in the US are often spread apart, and long car trips or travel may be required for grandparents to see their children and grandchildren. If the grandparent in your life travels often, a roadside assistance plan may be just what they need so you both can feel secure while they’re on the road.

And since grandparents are younger and more active than ever, many of them enjoy travel and activities, especially if they are retired. Best Roadside Service offers its members travel discounts, coupons, concierge service, custom map routing and even turn by turn directions from our emergency hotline in case they get lost. Additionally, members can enjoy benefits for auto services such as oil changes, tune ups and other mechanical services at national companies such as Jiffy Lube, Maaco, Meineke and more. So no matter where your grandparents live, they can use their benefits fully.

Grandparent’s Day is a wonderful way to celebrate the people in our lives that we care about. Show your grandparents how much you care about them and their safety by giving them the gift of Best Roadside Service so that they can continue to enjoy the travel and activities in their life with peace of mind.
