Finder’s verdict
"The best roadside assistance plan for you will really depend on where you drive and if you’re often traveling far from home. When looking at different options, I like to ask myself what I think I’d actually use. For example, in my case, it’s not worth paying for a locksmith because my car won’t lock if the key is still inside. It’s also not worth paying for a boat towing service because I don’t own a boat (sadly). There’s always savings to be made when you cut out the unnecessary stuff."
