A commercial roadside assistance plan covers all of your business-owned vehicles including commercial, fleet, construction vehicles and rental vehicles. You may already be aware of the many benefits roadside coverage assistance can bring when using both your personal and company vehicles. But were you aware that commercial plans can also cover any motorcycles that are used for your business as well?
Some companies use motorcycles as a more economical way to make deliveries or to meet clients. Just as a stranded vehicle can potentially cause a large financial loss to a business, a disabled motorcycle can put your employee’s safety at risk as well as cost the company money in time and lost business.
Just imagine what might happen if your employee was expected to make an important delivery at a specific time to a client and ended up stranded along the way. Your client will probably not be happy with an excuse, no matter how legitimate it is. It’s imperative to get your employee back on the road and on his way as quickly as possible in order to save that business.
Making sure you have a commercial motorcycle roadside assistance plan in place for moments like these will save you money in the long run in providing better service to your clients and also not having to pay hundreds of dollars for a tow or minor mechanical repairs.
Once you’ve made the smart decision to purchase coverage, how do you go about finding the best commercial motorcycle roadside assistance plan that will fit your budget without compromising on service?
- The lowest quote may not be the best plan. Be sure to compare the details of what each plan covers. Ask about their towing mileage allowance and any limits that might be imposed as far as how many times a motorcycle can be towed per year, etc. Ask about discounts for multiple motorcycles and any other benefits the company offers.
- Are company representatives friendly and willing to answer any questions you have?
- Find out what the average response time for assistance is should an emergency occur.
- Check online reviews to find out what both current and past customers have had to say about the company.
Choosing a poor quality plan can be worse than not having any plan at all. If you or a stranded employee has to wait for hours before help arrives, or is surprised with unexpected fees, it can quickly change a bad experience into something even worse.
