Services including battery boost, fuel delivery, towing up to 25 miles, and more are complimentary for light-duty vehicles on Geotab’s ProPlus Plan. For ProPlus customers requiring additional services, or for those with medium- or heavy-duty vehicles, payment is collected directly within MyGeotab or the Geotab Drive app.

“Geotab Roadside will add a new level of convenience for our customers, reducing time spent on the phone and waiting on the side of the road to get you back to what you do best -- running your business,” said Neil Cawse, CEO of Geotab. “Leveraging telematics to make the service even better adds a new wrinkle to roadside assistance.”

Geotab Roadside is avialable on the Geotab Marketplace
