Emergency Roadside Assistance

Membership privileges
As a member, you are entitled to all services described in this book immediately upon receipt of your membership card and/or membership materials.

Free membership for your spouse
Your spouse or one other designated family member living in your household with a valid driver’s license is entitled to use all the services and benefits described here at no extra charge.

How to use your membership ID card
Your personalized membership ID card for both you and your spouse should have arrived in the mail with your membership kit. Your ID card carries the toll-free customer service number. Call anytime if you need road service or information concerning your member benefits. Please be sure to carry your card in your wallet for easy reference. The most important element of your ID card is your membership number. You’ll need this number to use many of your membership services and benefits. If you have lost your card(s), please call the toll-free customer service number on your spouse’s membership card.

Emergency roadside assistance*
Whenever you, your spouse or an associate member has a problem with a disabled car, motorcycle or small truck under one (1) ton capacity, help can be obtained through your membership.

Emergency roadside assistance is intended to assist members whose vehicles are disabled by providing a toll-free emergency dispatch service number to get help dispatched to them.

You can call our toll-free customer service number listed on your membership card 24 hours a day to request “dispatch” service, and we will arrange to send help to your disabled vehicle from a participating facility. Your membership will make payment to the service facility directly for covered dispatch expenses.

This emergency road and tow benefit applies to any non-commercial vehicle you are driving at the time of disablement. Any car owned, leased or borrowed by a member will be covered.

Dispatch coverage for winching is limited to a 30-minute service call; any expenses incurred beyond a 30-minute dispatch call will be the responsibility of the member, payable directly to the service facility and is not reimbursable.

This service may not be used as a substitute for regular maintenance necessary to keep a vehicle in good condition. Excessive claims may result in non-renewal or cancellation of your membership benefits (see terms and conditions in the back of this book).

Covered benefits

Towing service
If your car can’t be started, towing from the point of disablement will be provided to the destination of the member’s choice. If service is provided through the dispatch network, towing will be limited to 15 miles from the point of disablement. Any expenses incurred beyond the 15-mile limit will be the responsibility of the member, payable directly to their service facility, and are not reimbursable. In either case, service is limited to one tow or service call per disablement.

Car won’t start
Service is available to provide a battery jump and minor roadside adjustments to start the car, even if it’s in your driveway.

Flat tire
A flat tire will be changed with your spare tire. If for any reason the spare is not usable, the lug nuts cannot be removed or the vehicle has two flat tires with one usable spare, towing will be provided in accordance with the program’s towing provisions.

Out of fuel
An emergency fuel supply will be delivered to a member in immediate need. The member must pay for fuel at the current pump price.

Car stuck
If a member’s vehicle is stuck in a ditch, mud or snow, but is accessible from a normally traveled road, service will be given to tow or winch the vehicle.

*The emergency roadside assistance program is administrated by Nation Motor Club, Inc. dba Nation Safe Drivers.

Dispatch Service

Your membership provides emergency roadside assistance nationwide through independent contractors for the convenience of its members.

If you need emergency roadside assistance anywhere in the continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Canada, simply call the toll-free customer service number listed on your membership card. This number can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We will arrange to dispatch a service truck to you while you are on the phone.

When you call for dispatch service, be prepared to give the customer service representative the following:

• Name and membership number
• Location of the vehicle if known (street address, mile markers, etc.)
• Nature of the trouble (flat tire, won’t start, etc.)
• Phone number from where you are calling

How it works
1. We will contact the nearest participating towing facility and then tell you the estimated time of arrival. Most service providers require you or another authorized person to be with the vehicle in order to receive service (unless it is unsafe to do so).

2. When the service truck arrives, present your membership card. The service provider may ask for your driver’s license for additional
identification.

3. After service is complete, please verify the information on the call slip provided by the service provider and sign it. The program will pay the service facility directly for covered dispatch charges. You will be responsible for paying the service facility for any charges not covered.

Cancellations
Please cancel your request for service within 5 minutes of the time you called if it is no longer needed by calling us back at the toll-free number listed on your membership card.

Availability
We have made every effort to ensure that emergency roadside assistance can function under all conditions.

However, during extreme weather conditions, there may be some delay before help can reach you. When such situations exist, we ask you to please be patient.

Of course, in some areas there may not be an available contractor. In this case, we will issue you an authorization number. The authorization number is required to be eligible for reimbursement. You will have to contact a facility, and we will reimburse you up to $80.*

Important
Since all authorized service providers are independent contractors and not agents or employees or Nation Motor Club, Inc. dba Nation Safe Drivers, we can assume no liability for any damage to your vehicle resulting from the rendering of service or for personal items left in the vehicle. Any claims for personal injury or damage to the property of a member must be filed against the servicing facility.

We will not accept responsibility for repair, availability, delivery or installation of parts. All parts used and services provided to you by the contractor must be authorized and paid for by you.
