WHAT IS AUTO ESSENTIALS?

Auto Essentials is a bundled package of coverages to protect your members from normal driving incidents and out-of-pocket expenses. It can also help minimize the decrease in value of their vehicle.

The package includes coverage for lost keys or remotes; windshield chips and cracks; dings and dents; tire repairs or replacement and cosmetic repair of wheels (rims) due to road hazards or pot holes. These repairs are not typically covered by insurance policies or the manufacturer’s warranty.

As an additional benefit, twenty-four hour roadside assistance and towing, emergency service, fluid or gas delivery, flat tire changes, jump-starts, and lockout service is included.

HOW IT WORKS

In most cases, service can be performed at a location of the member’s choosing, either at home, work, or a repair facility. The member simply calls the service department and assistance is dispatched to their location.
