What are the benefits of car insurance that includes roadside assistance?

In the Netherlands, there are three major companies that offer roadside assistance. For years, Wegenwacht was the only one, but nowadays there are several providers. As a result, prices have dropped significantly.

You can also purchase Allianz Global Assistance coverage for your motorcycle. For €22.50, you can even add an optional coverage module that provides you with a replacement motorcycle instead of a replacement car in the event of a breakdown. This applies in the areas covered by the roadside assistance policy. That means this option is even available when you’re abroad. Allianz Global Assistance is the only provider of roadside assistance in the Netherlands that offers this option.

Global Roadside Assistance

Allianz Global Assistance is the global market leader in emergency assistance. They offer a comprehensive and professional range of services. They operate their own emergency call centers in 28 countries, with thousands of employees and contracts with emergency services, rental companies, and car dealerships. Allianz Global Assistance maintains its own fleet of replacement cars abroad. Most cars are equipped with a tow hitch, and in the winter they come with winter tires and a ski box, so you can get back on the road quickly.

Additional costs

Allianz Global Assistance’s roadside assistance can be purchased separately and is compatible with any auto insurance policy. When you purchase this coverage, you can schedule it to take effect up to one year in the future. The premium will therefore not be charged until then. This allows you to cancel your current roadside assistance coverage without worrying about being uninsured while driving your car or riding your motorcycle.
