COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwire - August 20, 2007) - Safe Auto Insurance Company is
now offering auto club-quality roadside assistance to its customers at no
additional cost and without increased premiums. The new customer service program,
launched this summer, offers assistance 24 hours a day and seven days a
week for the most common roadside emergencies including lockouts and
jump-starts to flat tires and towing.
"We pioneered the concept of keeping our customers legal for less, and this
roadside assistance program is simply an extension of that spirit," said
Safe Auto president and chief operating officer Jon Diamond. "If we see a
need among our customers, we look for ways to meet it. Roadside assistance
is a natural need for the customers we serve, and it's a luxury that we're turning
into an automatic benefit."
All Safe Auto customers in Ohio, Georgia and South Carolina began receiving
the free service automatically in June. All new customers in these markets
also will enjoy the service when they sign up for a new insurance policy.
Since the program's initial roll out, more than 8,000 customers have used
the service, adding up to more than 140 people every day.
Safe Auto's roadside assistance program provides the following services at
no cost: towing, battery jump-start, flat tire change, gasoline and
emergency fluid delivery, lockout services and winching. The program also
provides for minor roadside repairs with materials at cost to the
policyholder and concierge services arranged and charged through the
assistance provider, that include alternative transportation, airline
reservation changes through a travel agent, rental car arrangements,
overnight accommodation arrangements, call transfer to nearby tourist
bureaus for area information and ATM location by area.
