Towing insurance

I just got a notice from jb hunt they have something if you are a carrier of theirs. I think it's $489 a year. My insurance though progressive has something in it about towing. I would be have to look it up. If you have your own insurance you may want to ask about it.

 

If you break down in Ny. In a snow storm they tow you off the highway for free. Had that happen once. Once your off the highway it's your money.

 

I don't know I never read it all. From jbhunt it has to be a joke.

 

I should read my progressive stuff on towing. If your paying for it may as we'll use it.

 

I have my insurance through Great West. They have choice plus for less than $200 year. Towing, truck rental, hotel for driver, covers some roadside repairs vanishing deductibles and some other things. Very happy have used it once. Just sent the tow bill in and got a check a few days later.

 

@86scotty - different insurance carriers have different levels of extra coverages/discounts they offer. Some O/O's like to have some money set aside for breakdown/towing/glass/etc.

Typical Towing coverage options, for example, may include a $100 allowance for a tow incident and the next level up may be $300 or $500 allowance per incident. Anything above the allowance limit would be out of pocket. Be mindful though - Excessive use of towing incidents would most likely drive your premium up.
