That’s where roadside assistance comes in — a service designed to get you safely back on the move, anytime and anywhere. Below, we’ll answer the most common questions drivers in Malta have about roadside assistance and how it works.

Understanding Roadside Assistance
1️⃣ What Does Roadside Assistance Mean?

Roadside assistance refers to professional help provided to drivers when their vehicle breaks down or becomes inoperable while on the road. It’s a service that helps you resolve common car problems — like a flat tyre, dead battery, lockout, or running out of fuel — so you can continue your journey safely. At Super Road Assistance, we offer 24/7 emergency help across Malta, so no matter where or when your car stops, help is always just a call or message away.
2️⃣ What Is the Purpose of Roadside Assistance?
The main purpose of roadside assistance is to ensure your safety and convenience. Instead of waiting for a random passerby or trying to fix the issue yourself, you can rely on trained professionals who have the right tools and experience. The goal is to:
Get you back on the road quickly and safely
Prevent further vehicle damage
Provide peace of mind when you need it most
3️⃣ What Does Roadside Assistance Actually Cover?
Coverage depends on the provider, but most services include:
🚙 Towing service – if your car can’t be fixed on site
🔋 Jumpstarts – for dead or weak batteries
🔑 Lockout service – if you’re locked out of your vehicle
⛽ Emergency fuel delivery – if you run out of fuel

5️⃣ Do You Have to Pay for Roadside Assistance?
Yes — typically, roadside assistance is a paid service, unless it’s included in your car insurance or membership plan. However, with Super Road Assistance, you only pay when you actually need the service — no subscriptions or hidden fees.
