What does roadside assistance cover?

Roadside service covers you during your travels in a vehicle. You’re covered in all of the following situations:

• Driving your own car
• Driving someone else’s car
• You’re a passenger

Your service with American Express roadside assistance extends to your travels throughout the US or Canada, with mechanics and representatives available 24/7. 

Once you become a member, your benefits include the following:

• Towing: You get towing to your nearest gas station, American Express approved auto repair shop, or preferred mechanic. The amount of miles you get vary, depending on which membership option you choose. Members are responsible for the payment of extra expenses beyond that limit, at $3 per mile. 
• Flat tire service: If your tire pops or goes flat, you get them inflated or changed on request.
• Emergency fuel delivery: If you’re stuck without fuel, you get a fuel delivery. The amount is enough to get you to the nearest gas station.
• Car battery service: If your vehicle's battery breaks or fails to start, you get jump-started or an emergency battery replacement.
• Mechanical first-aid: If your vehicle isn’t running, you get on-the-spot minor repairs. This excludes auto part replacements or supplies.
• Locksmith service: Did you lock your keys in your car? Roadside assistance helps you to regain access inside your vehicle.
• Alternative transport/accommodation: If your car is towed, you’re given complimentary hotel reservations, car rentals, or alternate transportation.
