Everyone's a Member: Roadside Help With No Membership
You don't need a roadside membership to get a jump start. With Just Jump USA®, everyone's a member: no annual fee, no call limits, and nothing filed with your car insurance. Our own technicians come to you, and jump starts are free in our active cities (subject to technician availability).
No annual fee. No insurance claim. No dispatch middleman.
The hidden cost of "free" roadside assistance
What is a CLUE report?
CLUE (Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange) is a claims-history database maintained by LexisNexis Risk Solutions. Insurers can review it for up to 7 years when you renew or shop for coverage. Depending on your insurer, roadside help used through your auto policy can be logged as a claim.
- Roadside calls through insurance may count as claims.
- Underwriters see claim frequency, not context.
- You can request your own CLUE report from LexisNexis for free.
- A direct request to Just Jump USA® is not an insurance claim.
6 things the fine print doesn't make obvious
Myth
"Roadside help through insurance is free."
Reality
Many policies treat each roadside call as a claim, and some charge per use. Depending on your insurer, those claims can be recorded in your CLUE claims history, which insurers can review for up to 7 years.
Myth
"Claims history only tracks accidents."
Reality
Claims databases like CLUE can record roadside claims too. Underwriters see how often you file, not why — a jump start and a fender bender can both count toward claim frequency.
Myth
"A membership means a fast response."
Reality
Motor-club calls usually route through a call center, a regional dispatcher, and then a contracted local company. Each handoff adds time.
Myth
"The person who shows up gets most of what you pay."
Reality
In the insurer → administrator → motor club → technician chain, each layer takes a cut. The technician doing the work often receives a small share of what the call costs.
Myth
"Your membership covers unlimited calls."
Reality
Most memberships cap service calls per year (often 3–4) and limit free towing miles. Go over and you pay extra — on top of the yearly fee.
Myth
"Roadside costs are clearly disclosed."
Reality
Roadside add-ons look cheap monthly, but the claim record and the out-of-pocket price after you hit your limit are rarely explained up front.

Questions and answers
Do I need a membership to use Just Jump USA®?
No. There is no membership, no sign-up fee, and no annual subscription. You request service when you need it. Jump starts are free in our active cities, subject to technician availability.
What is a CLUE report and can roadside assistance show up on it?
CLUE (Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange) is a claims-history database maintained by LexisNexis Risk Solutions that insurers can review for up to 7 years. Depending on your insurer, roadside assistance used through your auto policy can be recorded as a claim. Requesting service directly from Just Jump USA® is not an insurance claim, so nothing is filed with your insurer.
Why can roadside help through insurance or a motor club cost more?
Insurance roadside calls often pass through several companies — the insurer, a third-party administrator, a motor club, then a local technician — and each layer adds cost. Just Jump USA® sends its own technician directly, with no dispatch middleman.
Are Just Jump USA® technicians independent providers from a marketplace?
No. Just Jump USA® is not a marketplace or dispatch network. We run our own trucks and trained Mobile Battery Technicians.
Can using Just Jump USA® affect my insurance rates?
Requesting service directly from us is not an insurance claim, so it is not reported to your insurer. It stays between you and Just Jump USA®.
