My husband and I are going on an extended road trip. I am in a wheelchair, and I’m concerned about what we will do if our car breaks down. I talked to AAA, and they really couldn’t help me. I know that I can’t get into a tow truck. Do you have any suggestions?

First off, congratulations for planning ahead. Many people don’t realize that this could be a problem until they are stranded out in the middle of nowhere, and an inaccessible tow truck arrives.

The good news is, there is an alternative — Mobility Roadside Assistance. Not only do they offer basic towing, but they will also send an accessible vehicle out for you if you require a tow. They have three plan levels, from Adaptive Basic to Adaptive Premium, which all offer basic roadside assistance, just like AAA. The main difference between the plans is the distance they will tow or transport you. The Adaptive Basic Plan covers towing for 25 miles and accessible transportation for 10 miles, while the Adaptive Premium Plan covers towing for 100 miles and accessible transportation for 25 miles. As an added bonus, they will also dispatch a technician if you have problems with your lift, ramp, wheelchair or scooter.

It’s a great option for road trips, but it even comes in valuable at home. For more information, visit https://www.mobilityroadsideassistance.com/ or give them a call at (877) 246-0979.
