Because Roadside Emergencies Don't Follow a Schedule
No one plans to break down. A dead battery on a cold January morning before work. A flat tire on I-85 northbound at 11 PM. Running out of gas on a rural stretch of Highway 25 between Greenville and Hendersonville. Locking your keys inside the car in a shopping center parking deck in downtown Greenville. These situations happen to careful, prepared drivers every single day — and when they happen to you, what matters most is how quickly and safely you can get help.
At Priority Insurance LLC, we help drivers throughout Upstate South Carolina add roadside assistance coverage to their existing auto policies or find standalone plans that provide 24/7 emergency support across the country. It's one of the most affordable coverages available — and one of the most appreciated when you actually need it.

What Roadside Assistance Coverage Includes
🚛 Towing Service
If your vehicle can't be driven safely due to a breakdown, accident, or mechanical failure, towing coverage dispatches a tow truck to your location and transports your vehicle to the nearest qualified repair facility or a shop of your choice (within covered mileage limits). Covered mileage limits typically range from 15 miles to unlimited towing depending on your plan.
🔧 Flat Tire Service
A tire service technician will come to your location and mount your spare tire so you can get back on the road. If your vehicle doesn't have a usable spare, towing to a nearby tire shop is typically included. Note that the cost of the replacement tire itself is not covered — only the labor for changing it.
🔋 Battery Jump-Start Service
A dead battery is the single most common roadside emergency. Jump-start coverage dispatches a service vehicle to your location to provide a battery boost. If the jump-start doesn't hold and the battery needs replacement, roadside assistance will typically tow your vehicle to a service location where the battery can be tested and replaced.
⛽ Emergency Fuel Delivery
Running out of gas is more common than most people admit. With fuel delivery coverage, a service provider brings enough fuel to get you to the nearest gas station. The cost of the fuel itself is typically charged to you — but the delivery service and labor are covered. Especially valuable on rural stretches of Upstate SC where gas stations can be miles apart.
🔑 Lockout / Lock-In Service
Locking your keys inside your vehicle — or losing your only key — is a frustrating and sometimes dangerous situation. Lockout service coverage dispatches a locksmith or service technician to your location to gain non-destructive entry to your vehicle. In situations where a child or pet is locked inside, many services treat this as an emergency priority call.
🚜 Winch-Out / Extrication Service
If your vehicle is stuck in mud, sand, snow, or a ditch within a reasonable distance of a publicly accessible road, winch-out coverage dispatches a service to extract your vehicle. Particularly valuable for drivers in Upstate SC who travel rural and farm roads, access hunting properties, or venture onto unpaved roads in inclement weather.
Roadside Assistance vs. Standalone Clubs — Which Is Right for You?
✅ Add to Your Auto Policy
Typically $5–$15 per month per vehicle. Coverage travels with the car. Managed through your existing insurance relationship. Can be added to multiple vehicles on the same policy. Generally the most cost-effective option for most drivers.
Standalone Membership
(AAA, etc.)
Annual membership fees typically $65–$130+ per year. Coverage follows the member, not necessarily the vehicle. May include additional benefits (maps, travel discounts, DMV services) beyond roadside. Worth considering if you prefer coverage that follows you personally in any vehicle.
Your Priority Insurance agent can help you evaluate both options and determine which approach best fits your situation and driving habits. Schedule a free consultation →
Roadside Assistance for Motorcycles
Standard roadside assistance plans may not accommodate motorcycles properly — standard tow trucks aren't always equipped to transport bikes safely. Motorcycle-specific roadside coverage ensures the right equipment reaches you wherever you're stranded. If you carry motorcycle insurance through Priority Insurance LLC, ask your agent about adding motorcycle-specific roadside coverage to your policy.
Roadside Assistance for RVs
RVs present unique roadside assistance challenges — they're larger, heavier, and require specialized towing equipment. A standard roadside assistance plan won't necessarily send a truck capable of moving a Class A motorhome or a fully loaded fifth-wheel trailer. RV-specific roadside coverage ensures the right response equipment is dispatched and that service providers with RV experience handle your vehicle. Learn more about our RV Insurance options →
Driving in Upstate South Carolina — Why Roadside Matters Here
Interstate Travel
Greenville sits at the intersection of I-85 and I-385, with many residents commuting to Spartanburg, Anderson, and points beyond. Breaking down on a busy interstate is both dangerous and stressful. Roadside coverage means help arrives quickly with proper safety equipment.
Mountain and Rural Roads
Pickens, Oconee, and Laurens counties have extensive networks of rural and mountain roads where cell service can be unreliable and help may be miles away. Roadside assistance provides a critical lifeline in these situations.
Extreme Summer Heat
Upstate SC summers regularly push temperatures over 95°F. Extreme heat is hard on vehicle cooling systems, batteries, and tires. Breakdowns spike significantly in summer months — roadside coverage is a summer essential.
Winter Weather Events
While severe winter weather is infrequent in Greenville, ice events and winter storms do occur in Upstate SC, particularly in higher elevations near the mountains. Slick roads increase accident and breakdown risk — and also slow the response of roadside services without dedicated coverage.
Who Benefits Most from Roadside Assistance Coverage?
Owners of older vehicles
— Higher-mileage vehicles are more prone to mechanical breakdowns. For vehicles with deferred maintenance or aging components, roadside coverage is near-essential
New and teenage drivers
— Young drivers are statistically more likely to encounter breakdowns and less experienced in managing roadside emergencies safely. Roadside coverage provides adult-level support.
Frequent highway travelers
— If your commute involves extended highway driving on I-85, I-385, or other major routes, breakdown exposure is significantly higher than average.
Drivers in rural
areas
— The farther from an urban service center, the more valuable prompt roadside response becomes.
Parents of college students
— If your student drives away to college with a vehicle on your policy, roadside assistance follows the car and gives you peace of mind.
Senior
drivers
— Breaking down alone at night or in unfamiliar territory is especially challenging for older drivers. Roadside coverage provides immediate assistance.

Does Roadside Assistance Affect Your Insurance Premium?
Good News: Using roadside assistance coverage does not count as a traditional insurance claim in most cases and typically does not affect your premium at renewal. Unlike collision or comprehensive claims, roadside service calls are considered service events rather than loss events. This makes roadside coverage a true no-downside add-on — you pay a small monthly amount and get services that would cost $75–$200+ out of pocket each time you use them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is roadside assistance insurance and how does it work?
Roadside assistance insurance is a coverage add-on to your auto policy — or a standalone plan — that provides 24/7 emergency services including towing, battery jump-starts, flat tire changes, fuel delivery, and lockout service. When you call for help, a service provider is dispatched to your location at no additional out-of-pocket cost (within your coverage limits). Add to your policy →
How much does roadside assistance insurance cost in South Carolina?
When added to an existing auto insurance policy, roadside assistance typically costs $5–$15 per month per vehicle — making it one of the most cost-effective insurance add-ons available. Standalone plans vary in price. Contact Priority Insurance LLC for current pricing options.
Will using roadside assistance raise my insurance premium?
In most cases, no. Roadside assistance service calls are generally treated as service events rather than claims and do not affect your premium at renewal. This makes roadside coverage a true no-risk add-on.
Does roadside assistance cover my motorcycle or RV?
Standard roadside plans may not be equipped for motorcycles or RVs. Motorcycle-specific and RV-specific roadside coverage is available and ensures the right equipment responds. See Motorcycle Insurance → | See RV Insurance →
Does roadside assistance cover me when I'm traveling out of state?
Yes. Most roadside assistance plans provide nationwide coverage, so you're protected whether you break down near your home in Greenville or on a road trip in another state.
What's the difference between roadside assistance insurance and AAA?
Roadside assistance added to your auto policy is typically cheaper, coverage travels with the vehicle, and it integrates with your existing insurance. AAA and similar clubs offer member-based coverage (follows you, not the vehicle) and may include additional member benefits like travel discounts and DMV services. We can help you decide which is right for you →
Is roadside assistance available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
Yes. Roadside assistance coverage provides 24/7 access to emergency services every day of the year, including weekends and holidays — because emergencies don't respect business hours.
