Motive has introduced Motive Roadside Assistance, a 24/7/365 roadside support service designed to enhance driver safety and operational efficiency. Offered in partnership with Roadzen’s National Automobile Club (NAC), the service connects drivers to over 75,000 roadside assistance providers across the U.S. and Canada.

Motive Roadside Assistance provides services such as heavy-duty towing, tire changes, fuel delivery, jump starts, lock-out assistance, and winching. Drivers can access the service directly through the Motive driver app, with an average response time of under 20 seconds and service arrival within 60 minutes, the company said in a news release, adding that customers can also save 15-20% on roadside assistance costs, with additional discounts available for Motive card users.

The launch comes as Motive’s 2024 Holiday Outlook Report found that Christmas week sees a 32% spike in accidents and a 10% increase in speeding events, emphasizing the need for reliable roadside support. Winter weather adds to the dangers, with 65.5% of Christmas collisions occurring on wet or snowy roads.

With nationwide coverage and no monthly service fees, fleets only pay for the services they use, ensuring cost efficiency, Motive says, adding that the service will improve driver satisfaction by providing reliable support during critical moments and reducing stress on the road.
