Most people who are looking for roadside assistance simply want a plan that does what it offers without having to choose between many different options. Better World Club is one of those companies who have added roadside assistance to their other insurance plans. Sadly, there are many different plans to choose from so you have to read through all of them to figure out which one is right for you.
The Basic
If you have to save some money, then they offer a basic plan which is bare bones and does not offer much in the way of perks. Only one vehicle or driver is covered and towing is only offered for a maximum of just five miles. Most people drive further than that to get to work or to do their grocery shopping. Unless you live close to every place you drive to, this is not a great distance at all. You could end up paying a great deal just to get your vehicle towed to the nearest repair shop. This plan runs in the fifty dollar range which may seem affordable but there are other plans out there that offer so much more for just a few more dollars a year.
Premium Membership
If you, like most people, would probably need a tow of more than five miles then you can consider the premium membership. This is not as affordable as the basic and runs at just under a hundred dollars a year. And if you have more than one driver, you can add them for just thirty five dollars a month. This is not a cheap plan and while it does offer free towing up to one hundred miles, it is still quite expensive when compared to other plans. This does include other emergencies but you will need to have the money up front for gas and other services and then wait for reimbursement.
Plus Program
If you want to add other people to your roadside assistant plan through Better World Club then they offer a Plus Program. It’s curious why they call this a “Plus Program” because the price is the same as if you were adding another person to your premium membership. Most would think that because it is a special program that there would be a discount of some sort. You can use this to add drivers to your Basic Program as well for a whopping twenty five dollars. That’s half of the program cost on its own and if you have more than one family member, it can get quite costly.
If you are like most people today, you need to have a roadside assistance plan that is affordable but that also offers a wide variety of benefits. There also needs to be some simplicity in choosing a plan that best fits your needs. When you need assistance for more than one vehicle or person, the price should be affordable. You should not pay more for the other drivers than you are paying for the plan itself.
