Summer is the time that many military families relocate to their new duty stations or find out about deployments on which service members may be embarking. Every military family knows that the time right before a deployment is a stressful and emotional time of planning and trying to squeeze in as much time together as possible. But once the service member is deployed, the worrying and emotions don’t stop.

Both the family holding down the fort at home and the deployed service member worry about their family being safe. Many military families invest in home security systems for this reason. So why wouldn’t you invest in a similar security system for your family’s vehicle? Consider why a roadside assistance membership can give you some much needed peace of mind during the next deployment.

Flat Tires – a Dangerous Inconvenience

Flat tires are always inconvenient and they can be dangerous. You don’t want your family member trying to change a tire on the side of a busy highway. A roadside assistance company like Best Roadside Assistance has an average call response time of 34 minutes – that means someone will be there to help and you can be on your way in under an hour, in most cases.

Running on Empty

Whether you were just too busy to fill up or you’re driving a long distance and you haven’t seen a gas station in miles, sometimes you just run out of gas. It happens. Members of Best Roadside Assistance can call our 24 hour, US-operated call line and someone will deliver three gallons of gas right to them – for free! Now that’s peace of mind.

Locked Out

Much like a flat tire – there is absolutely no convenient time to lock your keys in your car. When you find yourself in this position, it’s usually with a cart full of groceries, an antsy child and somewhere to be. But if you do find yourself in this position, our 24 hour call line will send a technician to you immediately to get you back into your car with safe, manufacturer-approved tools.

Car Won’t Start

You get in your car, put the key in the ignition, turn it, and . . . nothing. You’re not a mechanic, and you have no idea what’s wrong. You may be in a new town with few friends or family nearby to help. Our 24 hour emergency line will send a technician out to help; whether it’s a dead battery, low fluids or an issue with the engine, we will either fix the issue or have the car towed to a service station for repair.

Personal Assistance – Every Mile of the Road

When you leave your family while on deployment, don’t you wish you could leave them with a personal assistant to ensure their safety? With Best Roadside Assistance, we offer just that. Our 24 hour assistance line can help our members with just about anything from a flat tire to sending and receiving messages to loved ones on your behalf during a roadside emergency. We can also assist you if you’re lost, need directions, need to find a place to stay while you’re driving and we even offer travel discounts and coupons for our members.

So if you’re deploying, or even just going on a long training exercise or work-ups, consider purchasing roadside assistance for your family and also for your peace of mind. At just $65 for a vehicle plan or $79.95 for an individual plan, it’s a small price to pay for your family’s safety and security.
