Report Description

Vehicle Roadside Assistance is expected to witness CAGR growth of more than 4% during the forecast period 2021-2027. Vehicle breakdowns on the side of the road cause traffic congestion and may put people’s lives in danger. It also wrecks the day of drivers (and passengers) who have to wait for tow trucks for hours, wasting valuable time and disturbing their schedule. Roadside assistance is an optional extra to drivers’ personal auto insurance that provides much-needed assistance with flat tyres, gasoline deficit, battery failure, towing, and other issues. In addition, Connected automobiles generate enormous amounts of vehicle status and usage data, which can give roadside assistance service providers with critical vehicle information such as location, engine status, error codes, fuel level, tyre pressure, and more. Such information can be utilized to determine the root cause of a breakdown and the appropriate course of action, as well as to encourage faster participation to improve service quality and the driver’s experience. For Instance, CAA is the behemoth of roadside assistance in Canada, with over 35,000 towing cars. Basic membership for short-distance travelers normally starts at around US$75 per year and includes up to five emergency calls and towing up to 10 kilometers each call. The Plus membership costs roughly $120 and normally allows you to tow up to 200 kilometers.
