Optional auto endorsement • Towing and trip interruption • 2026
Progressive Roadside Assistance
Progressive roadside assistance is optional coverage you can add to an eligible auto, motorcycle, or RV policy. Progressive currently describes 24/7 dispatch — through Agero — for towing, winching, jump-starts, fuel delivery, lockouts, flat-tire changes, and limited on-scene labor. It is not collision coverage, not a repair plan, and not a substitute for 911.
If you already have Progressive roadside on a live policy, use the Progressive app, Progressive’s roadside site, or 1-800-776-4737. The quote button on this page shops coverage. It does not send a tow truck.
What Progressive roadside currently lists
| Service | Current Progressive description | What you still pay |
|---|---|---|
| Towing | Arrange a tow within a 15-mile radius, or to the nearest qualified repair shop if none is inside 15 miles | Extra mileage if you choose a farther shop; parts and repairs |
| Electric vehicles | Tow within 15 miles, or to the nearest qualified charging facility if none is inside 15 miles | The cost of the charge |
| Winching | Stuck in mud, snow, water, or sand within 100 feet of a road or highway | Recovery beyond that distance |
| Jump-start | Dead-battery start | A replacement battery if the cell is finished |
| Fuel delivery | Fuel brought to the vehicle | The fuel itself |
| Lockout | Locksmith help for lost, stolen, or locked-in keys | Replacement keys or fobs |
| Flat tire | Help installing a usable spare | You must supply the spare |
| On-scene labor | Up to one hour where the form allows it | Shop labor after the hour |
Direct answer: Buy the endorsement if you want Progressive to arrange those listed services on a covered vehicle. Read the event-count limit — Progressive notes extra limits in states such as North Carolina and Virginia. Do not treat a 15-mile tow as a blank check to any dealer across town.
Trip interruption is a separate add-on
Where Progressive offers it, trip interruption can be added only if roadside is already on the policy. Progressive currently describes reimbursement when a covered vehicle breaks down more than 100 miles from home, with a $500 maximum and daily caps of $100 for lodging, $50 for alternative transportation, and $50 for food. Keep receipts. Those figures are Progressive’s published illustration; the declarations page controls.
Rental reimbursement after a collision or comprehensive loss is a different endorsement. Mechanical breakdown insurance, Progressive Vehicle Protection, and a third-party vehicle service contract are also different products.

What it will not do
- Repair collision, theft, flood, or fire damage — that is comprehensive or collision, subject to a deductible.
- Pay routine maintenance or replace a worn-out engine.
- Cover a boat while it is in the water. Progressive points watercraft owners to separate Sign & Glide coverage where offered.
- Guarantee dispatch if the vehicle or driver is not listed, the endorsement is not in force, or the event limit is used up.
If anyone is injured or the scene is unsafe, call 911 first. Then request roadside.
Unrelated warranty link
The approved warranty destination is a vehicle service contract for specified mechanical repairs. It does not tow the car and it does not satisfy auto financial-responsibility law. Arkay’s public terms state that product is not available in California. Blake may receive compensation if you purchase through that sponsored link.
Progressive roadside assistance FAQs
Is roadside included on every Progressive policy?
No. Progressive describes it as extra coverage you can add. Confirm the declarations page.
Who actually sends the truck?
Progressive says services are provided by Agero. Request service through Progressive, not through this website.
Does the Bolt button dispatch a tow?
No. It opens a personal-lines quote path.
Can I use Progressive roadside on a motorcycle or RV?
Progressive says roadside can apply to car policies and to motorcycles, RVs, and some towing setups. The vehicle must be on that policy.
Is this better than AAA?
Different product. AAA is often a membership. Progressive roadside is a policy endorsement. Compare both on AAA vs Progressive if that is the question you actually have.

Your next step
If you need a truck tonight and you already carry Progressive roadside, use Progressive’s app or 1-800-776-4737. If you are shopping the endorsement, compare a quote that lists roadside as a line item — then read the 15-mile and event-limit language before you pay for it.
