How long is the wait for assistance supposed to take?

still chuckling. TY. :W

90 minutes was very good....

First they have to process your 'claim'
Then they have to get authorization to contact approved vendor (tow company etc)
Then approved vendor has to check schedules & availability
Request is sent to dispatcher
Dispatch contacts driver and gives them the new assignment/directions
Driver continues with pre-arranged schedule
Driver THEN heads in your direction.....and you are not at the exit
Driver calls dispatch.

Process starts all over

And YET it only took 90 minutes.
Consider yourself fortunate

90 minutes does not sound too extreme to me.
bumpy

That is excellant response time - if what your are saying it was 90 minutes

So, what did they tell you as an ETA when you called? Did you call them back after the ETA had expired?
I would say response time varies with every call to them, based on their policy as stated in the benefits brochure. Things like time of day, breakdown location, availability of appropriate service personnel and vehicles will all factor into it.
The few times I've called them, they've been pretty close to their suggested ETA, or they've called back to explain the delay.
