How far can my car be towed?
Hi Ed,
Thank you for your comment.
They will tow it as far as the policy states, under the conditions the policy states. Usually, if your car is broken down and you’re asking about roadside assistance they will tow it to the nearest service station. If that’s 100 miles away, that’s how far they’ll tow it. If that’s 100 feet away, that’s how far. After that it’s up to you to pay the tow company for any distance farther. Best to refer to your Product Disclosure Statement PDS/T&C’s of the policy. Hope this helps.

Hi Manon,
Merci d’avoir contacté Finder.
Vous devrez peut-être examiner votre police d’assurance plus précisément en matière de remboursement. Votre police d’assurance contiendrait également les coordonnées de la société ainsi que les étapes à suivre pour réclamer un remboursement. J’espère que cela t’aides!
À votre santé,
Reggie
If I am in another place like NJ from Florida and need service, will Geico come?
Hi Betty,
Thank you for getting in touch with finder.
Once you call Geico, they find ways for you. If within the 20-mile-radius, they call find the nearest dealership and call the towing service to help you get out there – that’s covered. Now, if you need to take your car to a specific dealership outside the 20 mile radius, you would have to pay out of pocket and ask for reimbursement at a later date.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Jeni
If my car broke down in another state, will Geico tow it to my home?
Hi Shannon,
Depending on the condition of your car, some tow companies will provide assistance to you as to where you want the car to be towed to. Some of the tow companies are reasonable and will work out something for you. For example, you would rather have your car be towed home instead of a repair shop and the company agrees. Other companies are very to the letter and won’t work with you. GEICO has little say in that specifically since the companies are contracted and not actually GEICO. Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Reggie
If my car was stolen and towed after police retrieved my vehicle will geico cover the towing charges or some of it …
Hi Jnet,
Thanks for getting in touch! When a car is stolen you should still notify Geico of any stolen vehicles immediately. Notifying GEICO of the vehicle theft could help protect you if the thief causes damage to others with your car. There are also documentation needed and you would need to contact Geico about this. Hope this helps!
Best,
Nikki
