assistência em viagem

assistência em viagem (roadside assistance)
The cover that makes a car insurance policy useful in everyday life: a tow truck, minor repairs on the spot, a jump start, and on a long trip a taxi and a hotel while the car is in the garage. It is not compulsory: cheap online policies are the first to drop it or sell it as a separate add-on.
Where you come across it. A breakdown on the road, a flat tyre, a flat battery, a trip around the country or abroad.
Before signing, ask three things: whether assistance is included at all, how many call-outs a year are free, and how many kilometres from home it starts to apply. Ask separately about punctures: that is where claims are most often refused.
