Edit/View SPOT S.O.V. (if applicable)
SPOT S.O.V. is a 24/7 roadside vehicle assistance program that gets help for you and your car, SUV, ATV, RV, trailer or motorcycle with the simple push of a button.
S.O.V. Terms and Conditions
Only the Primary Subscriber of Record for your SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger is able to request Roadside Assistance via the Toll-Free Number. The NSD Dispatcher will verify the Primary Subscriber’s eligibility by obtaining your name, the applicable Producer Code (75721), the applicable Plan (E) and the SPOT ESN (located under the battery of your SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger). If not able to verify eligibility, the NSD dispatcher will provide the option of still dispatching Roadside Assistance. In this event, you will have to pay for the cost of the service. Your plan, Plan E, includes the following Roadside Assistance: towing (up to 50 miles (80 km) per tow), extrication, accident assistance, road service, fluid delivery, tire service, battery service, lost-key or lockout service (into passenger compartment only), at your location. Plan E covers up to five (5) towing/roadside assistance events annually. Once you have incurred five (5) events, a tow truck will still be dispatched but you will be responsible for any required payments. In the event that you are eligible for Roadside Assistance, but such service is either 1) not-dispatched, or 2) provided on a cash-basis; you will be able to follow the NSD guidelines to submit any eligible costs of such Roadside Assistance services to NSD for reimbursement. NSD will determine if any of the expenses qualify for actual reimbursement in accordance with their standard guidelines and procedures at their sole discretion.
