When he says "24 hour roadside assistance" on a credit card offer that mean it's free? Most roadside assistance programs have a monthly fee is automatically debited from your credit card. Services can also be very limited, and then the charges after a certain point (eg towing 10 miles) might be inflated.
Typical charges are $ 4.95 to $ 6.95 per month. AAA is a better alternative to service providers established at national level.
With most of the 24-hour roadside assistance programs on credit cards, they charge a monthly fee if you use it or not.
