GPS Insight, a provider of fleet software for organizations with fleets of vehicles, trailers and other mobile assets, released a roadside assistance solution. The new offering is powered by Allstate.

The comprehensive roadside assistance reduces fleet downtime, according to the company. Downtime can be caused by roadside emergencies or inconveniences like dead batteries, empty fuel tanks and flat tires. This service helps get light-duty vehicles back up and running quickly, the company said.

Key features of the solution include:

• Vehicle towing: Up to five miles in any direction.
• Vehicle winching: If a vehicle is stuck in a ditch, mud or snow and is accessible from a regularly traveled road.
• Fuel delivery: A service vehicle will deliver up to three gallons of fuel to the customer’s location.
• Jump-start: Service is provided to jump-start a dead battery or make other minor roadside adjustments to start a vehicle.
• Flat tire: Service is offered to change a flat tire with an inflated spare.
• Lockout: Service is provided to gain access if the ignition key is lost or accidentally locked inside the vehicle.

The comprehensive roadside assistance for light-duty vehicles can be added on to a package for $3 per vehicle, per month.
