What many people don't realise is that even if they already have car insurance, it may not include this cover, or the cover they have may be very limited.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFPor_que_es_tan_importante_la_asistencia_en_carretera\"><\/span>Why is roadside assistance so important?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Roadside assistance is one of the most valuable coverages for any driver. It's not just limited to towing, but encompasses a wide range of benefits that can help you, your vehicle and your passengers in times of need. From punctures to accidents, running out of fuel or losing your keys, this cover can get you out of trouble.<\/p>\n<p>If your current insurance has been taken out through the Insurance Compensation Consortium or simply does not include this cover, you can take out a separate policy specialising in roadside assistance.<\/p>\n<section class=\"vc_cta3-container animacion-vc ai-play-skip\">\n    <div class=\"ai-play-skip cta_general vc_general vc_do_cta3 vc_cta3 CAT-VC vc_cta3-style-classic vc_cta3-shape-rounded vc_cta3-align-left vc_cta3-color-white vc_cta3-icon-size-xl vc_cta3-icons-left vc_cta3-actions-right wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_fadeInDown fadeInDown vc_custom_canallas wpb_start_animation animated\">\n        <div class=\"vc_cta3-icons\">\n            <div class=\"vc_icon_element vc_icon_element-outer vc_do_icon vc_icon_element-align-left\">\n                <div class=\"vc_icon_element-inner vc_icon_element-color-white vc_icon_element-size-xl vc_icon_element-style- vc_icon_element-background-color-grey\" style=\"margin-right:10px;\">\n                    <!-- span class=\"fas fa-shield-alt icono-seguro\"><\/span -->\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lawebdeseguros.com\/img\/logo_solo.svg\" alt=\"Logo\" style=\"width: 70px;\">\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"vc_cta3_content-container\">\n            <div class=\"vc_cta3-content\">\n                <header class=\"vc_cta3-content-header\">\n                    <p class=\"cta-heading h2\">Travel with peace of mind with 24\/7 roadside assistance<\/p>\n                <\/header>\n                <p class=\"cta_general cta-heading h3\">We help you choose the insurance that best protects you against any unforeseen event on the road.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"vc_cta3-actions\">\n                <div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-inline\">\n                    <a class=\"cta_general vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-md vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-flat vc_btn3-color-green\" href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=34659929495&#038;text=Viaja+tranquilo+con+asistencia+en+carretera+24%2F7\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"ga_whatsapp\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                        <i class=\"fab fa-whatsapp\"><\/i> Request for information                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seguro_de_asistencia_en_carretera_independiente\"><\/span>Independent roadside assistance insurance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many drivers are unaware that it is possible to take out separate roadside assistance cover.

There are solutions. Some insurers allow you to contract assistance for occasional use or even sign up quickly if you are already a customer.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is important to know that if you act on your own without going through the insurance company (e.g. by hiring a tow truck directly), you may not be reimbursed for these expenses. The companies usually require that the arrangements are made through their own 24\/7 assistance centre.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid unpleasant surprises, it is important to know exactly what your policy includes and what the conditions are. If you have any doubts, the best thing to do is to ask us.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preguntas_frecuentes\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>What does insurance roadside assistance cover?<\/strong><br \/>\nNormally includes on-site repair, towing, transport of occupants, assistance in case of loss of keys, among other services. Varies according to the policy and the insurer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the best roadside assistance in Spain?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt depends on your needs. Some companies stand out for their speed and others for the scope of their coverage.
