Geico insurance towing coverage

[Anonymous]

Anyone need to use it? Was it easy? We are planning on doing a road trip on an old car. If we have problems (I know we have had towing coverage from the beginning) they would tow away for free. I am guessing no coverage for rental vehicle due to disablement.

Basically I have been paying $40 a year for 20 yrs in the event I require towing. Doesn't seem very valuable. Anyone not have this coverage?

It says Emergency Road Service (ERS) coverage pays:
for towing of a disabled auto to the nearest place for repairs
for mechanical labor up to one hour at the place of breakdown;
and for lockout service, up to $100 per lockout.
ERS does not pay for parts or subsequent repair costs and there is a limit of one reimbursement per disablement.

What is your question?

Not OP. I have been wondering too if it’s worth the extra $35-$40 every year after year.

I pay for this, too, but the one time I needed it Geico left me hanging for hours in the heat with a newborn. I still have it, but don’t feel confident in it.

It’s not worth it. I had a very bad experience and removed it.

One towing expense and you will see how paying for this addition helps
