It's no secret that holiday shopping is expensive. With the average North American consumer spending on average $800 during the month of December alone, it's no surprise that the holidays are hard on the bottom line. Our purchases cover a wide range of categories - food, music, technology, sports, etc - and with every purchase there is always that underlying sense of doubt. Does the person receiving this gift really need another pair of socks or a new tablet? Will they use it once and then forgot all about it? At Access Roadside Assistance we don't want to see your gift go to waste. That's why we recommend a gift that is practical, useful, and extremely thoughtful - an automobile club roadside assistance membership. More importantly, our memberships are affordable. Ranging in price from $69.95 to $495, we have the perfect automobile club roadside assistance membership for everyone from your Uncle Gary, the classic car enthusiast to your Grandpa Joe, an avid RVer.
