Emergency car unlock service.

If you've ever locked yourself out of your car, had a dead battery, or found a flat tire in the middle of Kingwood traffic, you already know the value of fast, dependable roadside help. Choosing the right roadside assistance service can make all the difference. Below, we break down the 10 best roadside assistance providers available in Texas—so you can compare and pick what fits your needs best.

What to Look for in a Roadside Assistance Provider

When shopping for roadside help, look beyond just the price. Check coverage areas (especially in places like Kingwood and Atascocita), response times, included services like jump starts or flat tire repair, and limits on usage. Some also include perks like travel discounts or legal aid for traffic violations.

AAA (American Automobile Association)

AAA is the gold standard, offering multiple plans and benefits beyond car help—like travel planning, DMV services, and discounts. Their high service quality makes them one of the top choices nationwide.

Better World Club

This eco-conscious provider offers comparable services to AAA but with a smaller carbon footprint. Great for electric vehicles and those interested in sustainability.

Allstate Motor Club

Allstate offers roadside coverage separate from their insurance. Plans include towing, lockout service, fuel delivery, and even trip interruption reimbursement.

Good Sam Roadside Assistance

A favorite among RV and trailer owners. Their coverage extends to bigger vehicles, trailers, and even pets inside the vehicle during service events.

AARP Roadside Assistance

Powered by Allstate, this is tailored for seniors and AARP members. Plans include lockout services, towing, jump starts, and trip routing tools.

Geico Emergency Road Service

If you're already a Geico policyholder, adding their roadside coverage is very affordable. It includes towing, winching, and fuel delivery.

Progressive Roadside Assistance

Another insurer-offered service, Progressive’s option includes towing, lockout services, flat tire changes, and battery jump starts. Works best when bundled with their insurance.

Nationwide Roadside Assistance

This plan includes towing (within 15 or 100 miles depending on your level), battery jump starts, and lockout services. Good for those already insured through Nationwide.

Blink Roadside Assistance

Blink offers on-demand roadside help with no membership fees. It’s app-based, so you only pay when you use it. Ideal for occasional users.

Honk Roadside Assistance

Similar to Blink, Honk is a pay-per-use model. It connects you with nearby providers for lockouts, lost key help, or battery replacements with transparent pricing upfront.

How to Choose the Right Provider for Your Needs

If you only drive locally around Kingwood, New Caney, Porter, or Humble, a pay-per-use provider like Blink or Honk may be enough. For frequent road trips beyond 77339 or 77345, consider AAA or Good Sam. If you're also looking for services like battery replacement or emergency locksmithing, pick a service with strong third-party reviews and 24/7 availability.
