As of 2010, inquiries with the five major national roadside assistance clubs reveal that none offer membership discounts for disabled drivers. To join and maintain membership with a roadside assistance club, disabled drivers pay the same price for services as non-disabled drivers.
While national roadside assistance clubs don't offer discounts to disabled drivers, specialized companies provide some options. Palm RV, a Florida-based RV dealership that modifies motor homes to suit disabled drivers, is an example. The company covers its vehicles with free roadside assistance for the first year of ownership through a nationwide dealer network.
For discounts and specialty vehicle services, disabled drivers should consider looking outside the major roadside assistance programs. Some small companies that work closely with disabled drivers, like Palm RV, may offer discounts, but perhaps more importantly they offer expertise and understanding unique to the disabled driver's experience.
