A DEFINITIVE answer Please Alaska Route 11

GS Road Service Please provide me with a DEFINITIVE answer on the following question:

Should I need Road Side Assistance for a coverable incident such as a flat, tire replacement or breakdown on Alaska Stare Hwy 11 the Dalton Highway will good Sam cover this or not.

And since there is only Cell service in very few places along the 415 miles of this road what should the procedure be for contacting GSE?

Thank You

  • Thank you for the post 4X4Dodger. You would be eligible for service in Alaska on Highway 11 or the Dalton Highway as long as it meets the benefit brochure description as one of the following: hardpacked or graded dirt public road, paved street, driveway, parking lot, highway, freeway, expressway or adjacent shoulder. This coverage includes tire services and towing. If there are months or times when the roadway does not meet these criteria's or travels over frozen water you may not be eligible for service. Members would still contact dispatch if they have cell service. Many travelers to remote locations like this choose to carry a satellite phone to ensure they have connectivity to emergency services or would need to relay a message through a passerby or police/state patrol. Also keep in mind that there are only 3 towns on the route so the timeframe to receive service may be extended. As with all remote disablements service times will depend on the distance they have to travel to your breakdown location.

    Thank you,

    Zach
