Hagerty Plus pays for the first 50 miles of emergency flatbed towing OR the first $100 of other roadside services, like fuel delivery, battery jumps and lockout service. This plan covers up to three incidents per year for your collector vehicles, or trailers towing your collector vehicles.

To Obtain Emergency Roadside Assistance:
- You must call our toll-free Emergency Roadside Assistance Hotline at 888-310-8020 and select menu option #1 to obtain service. There is no reimbursement for services we do not dispatch. Our member service representatives are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Be prepared to give the member service representative:
- Your membership ID number
- Year, make and model of the disabled vehicle
- Location of the disabled vehicle. If you don’t have an address, you can use a mile marker, highway number, crossroads or any landmark that will assist the service provider in locating your vehicle.
- When the service provider arrives, show your Hagerty Plus membership card and sign for the services rendered.
- If the amount due exceeds your benefit level, you’ll need to pay the service provider for any amount over your benefit allowance at the time of service.
Please Note: If you are in an emergency situation such as a vehicle fire, call 911 or other emergency service number immediately.
Safety in the Event of a Breakdown:
If your vehicle is in an insecure location and subject to potential vandalism or theft, an immediate assessment of your surroundings and your safety should be of primary concern. Do not remain in an unsafe area out of concern for your vehicle. In a situation such as this, we recommend you move to a location you deem safe until service arrives.
- Find a location free from crime, automotive traffic and the elements.
- Always notify the service operator of the safe location where you’d like the service provider to pick you up.
- If you are subject to unsafe conditions, make sure to contact the state police, highway patrol or local sheriff’s office for assistance.
- If you have a breakdown on a highway, never attempt to cross traffic lanes.
Emergency Roadside Assistance Details:
What is Included:
- Service under Hagerty Plus is only provided when you call 888-310-8020, and select option #1. There is no reimbursement for services we do not dispatch.
- The Hagerty Plus Emergency Roadside Assistance Program will provide emergency service for the mechanical breakdown of a previously operable vehicle. Emergency Roadside Assistance will get you underway or provide flatbed towing for your collector vehicle to either the closest qualified service provider or your home.
- Road service benefits include a total of three emergency roadside assistance calls per year and extend to all of your collector vehicles, your collector vehicles and the trailers which tow your collector vehicles, or all of the vehicles you own, depending on the membership level you have selected.
- Hagerty Plus will pay for the service to dispatch assistance (up to your benefit level). You are responsible for any goods and labor costs incurred beyond your benefit level.
- Service is included for changing your collector vehicle wheel and tire with your own inflated spare. If you do not have an inflated spare, we will contact a service provider to tow the vehicle to a service location, and advise you of a company that sells spare tires.
- Winching is covered up to 100 feet off a maintained road.
What Is Not Included:
- Any services retained directly by you are not covered under the program benefits. You must call 888-310-8020, and select menu option #1 to have service dispatched.
- The program is not intended as a convenience shuttle and doesn’t include restoration-related towing, towing between two service facilities, recovery of a vehicle subjected to a natural disaster, a vehicle submerged in water or a vehicle on an un-maintained road.
- Charges in excess of your service limit, if any, aren’t included and are payable by you to the service provider at the time of service.

Trailer Towing & Service
What is Included:
- This program is available for members of the 50- and 125-mile plans, and is designed for trailers that are towing collector vehicles.

Family & Friends Notification:
For the 50- and 125-Mile Plan members, Hagerty Plus provides a notification service. To help ease the strain of a breakdown, a representative will call a designated family member, friend or business associate to inform him/her of the incident and of your delay – we can even relay a personal message from you. If we cannot reach them personally, we will leave a message. Calls are limited to the 48 contiguous United States.
Service Exceptions:
- Some access-controlled roadways, such as the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey , are state- or municipality-controlled. Only state or contracted providers are allowed to provide service on these roadways. In some cases, the providers refuse to work with service networks like ours. In these cases, Hagerty Plus may instruct you to call the police or a local administrator for service and ask you to submit an invoice for reimbursement.
- Towing costs resulting from an accident, vandalism or fire would normally be recovered through your insurance policy. For towing services resulting from an accident, vandalism or fire, you will need to pay the service provider for the tow and submit a claim for reimbursement.
- Dispatch of roadside assistance may be delayed due to high-volume traffic (rush hour), weather conditions or a high volume of member requests.
