Allstate towing insurance and roadside assistance

From policies as low as $55 per year, find out which plan works best for you.

Getting stranded on the side of the road is something no one wants to deal with, but it’s an inevitable reality for most drivers. When you find yourself in this situation, you’ll want to know that help is on the way — and fast. Allstate’s towing insurance will give you that peace of mind.

Allstate offers three types of roadside assistance — and each one has its benefits.

1) Towing and labor policy add-on

If you already have car insurance with Allstate or you’re considering Allstate for insurance, you can add towing and labor coverage to your plan. This add-on covers towing, lockouts, fuel delivery, tire changes and jump-starts.

How to use towing and labor

Once you’ve added towing and labor to your policy, be sure to download the Allstate mobile app. One of the many features of the app is Allstate’s Good Hands Rescue. Get roadside assistance with Good Hands Rescue with the tap of a finger, 24/7. Or call 800-Allstate day or night to request emergency help.
