- Most towing plans want to get you to the nearest suitable repair place. If there is a place 5 miles away, don't expect them to cover a 50mile tow to your preferred shop. What constitutes a "suitable" repair place can be a bone of contention.
- Be very specific to the point of being obnoxious about what you are driving (yeah, it should be in the system). Ran into this where they sent a guy in a minivan out with a small lithium charge pack to jump our diesel F250 with a dead battery at the airport parking. It wasn't even close and he wasn't ready to connect to the minivan battery. Next they sent a tow truck but cables weren't long enough (nose in to a parking spot). They weren't going to cover hooking up and pulling it out far enough so they could reach. Finally wound up getting an uber to go buy a couple new batteries.
If they throw it in with your insurance, OK but with cell phones, finding a local tow company/repair shop is doable anywhere you can make the call to your service.
