 What's up everyone? Take down here. Welcome back to another video. Today, we're gonna be talking about roadside assistance, why it's important to have a couple different ones and different options that you can choose some, some of the better options. So, let's get right into this. Roadside assistance is important to have in case of an emergency. Whether you run out of gas, need a tow, or have a dead battery, you want to choose a roadside assistance that has you covered. When I bought my 2021 Dodge Ram Classic brand new, it came with the Mopar Roadside Assistance for five years or 100,000 kilometers. It wasn't until after owning my truck for one year that I actually read what is covered with the Mopar Roadside Assistance. That's when I realized that it didn't actually cover much and it was one of the worst roadside assistance that you can have. If you are in need of a tow, they will only tow you to a Dodge dealership within 35 kilometers of your breakdown location. Anything past that, you have to pay the difference. Which that doesn't really help me out much because when I go and visit my parents, the closest Dodge dealership is about 100 kilometers away. The other thing that I found is if you ditch your vehicle or get stuck in snow, they will send a tow truck to winch you out and that will be free of cost. But if your vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven, you have to pay the tow and the winch in full. Once I found out what the Mopar Roadside Assistance did cover, I definitely was looking for a different one. The two best ones that I found were CAA and the Canadian Tire Roadside Assistance. So we're gonna start off with CAA. They have three tiers. They have the basic for $75 a year. They have the plus for $119 a year. And they have the premium for $149 a year. The basic is not really worth it because it only covers up to 10 kilometers of towing. The plus includes 200 kilometers of towing, free emergency fuel, and a battery test. And premium only adds 320 kilometers, but that is only for your first tow. Everything after that is the exact same as the plus plan. Looking into it, the best option for CAA with the best value is the CAA plus plan for $119 a year. There's also the Canadian Tire Roadside Assistance, which is what I honestly went with. They have member, vehicle, and family plans and they have a silver and gold plan for each. Member plan covers one person for any vehicle that they drive. The vehicle plans cover a single vehicle regardless of who is driving. And the family plan covers up to five members in the same household. The silver member and vehicle plans are $70 a year and the silver family plan is $170 a year. The gold member and vehicle plans are $100 a year and the gold family plan is $290 for a year. Breaking down what each the silver and gold include, all the silver plans only include 10 kilometers for the towing while the gold plans include 200 kilometers for the towing and you can choose to be towed to any Canadian Tire within that 200 kilometer range, not just the closest Canadian Tire. With the gold plans, you also get free fuel delivery and get $5 in free gas in case you run out, which is awesome, plus they have battery boost and a whole bunch of other stuff as well. The Canadian Tire Roadside Assistance gold plans are the better option. They cover the same as the CAA plus plan and are $100 compared to CAA's $119. Plus the gold Canadian Tire plans also go on sale throughout the year for around $80. Looking at what is included for CAA and the Canadian Tire plans, the best option would be the gold plans for Canadian Tire. That is what I went with and that is honestly what I recommend because it's honestly just a piece of mind. Instead of 10 kilometers for towing, you're getting 200 kilometers for towing, which is awesome. So I would honestly recommend that one but hopefully you do choose any roadside assistance, hopefully something that does cover a lot, like the ones that I did mention in this video, but at least have it, especially if you are traveling a lot because you never know what can happen. Roadside assistance is definitely something that you hope to never need, but if you need it, it is honestly great to have. Hope you guys enjoyed this video. I'll see you guys in the next one. Please take care, peace.
