Not worth it

There is no reason to use this service if you have roadside assistance via your car insurance. I had to wait over an hour for service. Also, they didn't head my way until I called them and told them I needed assistance. This company is a waste of time.

Reply from Drive Roadside Assistance

We’re sorry to hear about your experience and truly apologize for the delay. Our typical wait times are much shorter, and we understand how frustrating it can be when you're expecting faster service. We’ll be reviewing this internally to ensure your feedback is addressed.

As for insurance-based roadside assistance, while anyone is free to use it if they have the coverage, it's important to note that in many states, using your car insurance for roadside help can count as a comprehensive claim, which may affect your insurance rates for 3 to 5 years—even for something as minor as a lockout or tow.

Our pay-per-use model exists to provide a fast, transparent, and insurance-free alternative. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve.

The person arrived and changed my tire in a quick timely manner. As a female stranded on the side of the road receiving help quickly is important.

Thank you!
