Hyundai Roadside Assistance: Jump Starts, Coverage & Alternatives
Use the MyHyundai app or the roadside number in your owner's materials. New Hyundais commonly include roadside assistance for a set period (often 5 years, unlimited miles). Confirm for your vehicle. Just Jump USA® is a separate mobile battery service with no membership. Jump starts are free in most active service areas when a technician is available; if your Hyundai plan limits calls, requesting help separately may leave a benefit available for a future tow or other covered need. Check your terms.

Could your jump start be free?
Check whether Just Jump USA® serves your area. Jump starts are free in most active service areas when a technician is available; requesting help does not guarantee dispatch. Where a jump start is not free, we'll confirm any charge before service.
Could a jump start preserve a roadside call?
Some roadside plans limit service calls; others differ by plan, vehicle, or coverage period. If a jump start would use one of your calls, you may prefer to keep that benefit for a future tow or other covered emergency. First check your own terms. For a dead battery, consider a safe DIY jump or a Just Jump USA® jump start, free in most active service areas when a technician is available.
Check whether your Hyundai has a 12-volt reset feature before requesting a jump, and confirm whether roadside uses have any limits under your terms.
A free jump start depends on your area and technician availability; it does not replace Hyundai for towing, lockouts or other roadside needs.

How do I contact Hyundai roadside?
Use the MyHyundai app or the roadside number in your owner's materials.
Does Hyundai roadside cover jump starts?
Some newer Hyundai models include a 12-volt battery reset button; check your manual before jumping.
Will a jump start use one of my Hyundai roadside calls?
It depends on your specific Hyundai terms and how you request help. Check your plan, warranty or rental agreement for limits. A separate Just Jump USA® request does not use a Hyundai roadside call; jump starts are free in most active Just Jump USA® areas when a technician is available.
What is the 12V battery reset button on some Hyundai models?
Certain models have a button that reconnects a protected 12-volt battery after it discharges. Your owner's manual explains whether your vehicle has one.
Can I use Just Jump USA® instead of Hyundai for a jump start?
Yes — you never have to go through Hyundai for a jump start. Just Jump USA® is a fully independent mobile battery service with no membership, and jump starts are free in most active service areas when a technician is available. Requesting directly keeps your Hyundai benefit untouched for a future tow or other covered need.
Can Hyundai send Just Jump USA® to replace my battery?
Possibly. If your Hyundai plan lets you choose a preferred provider, or covers the cost of a new battery, you can ask Hyundai to dispatch or reimburse Just Jump USA® for the replacement. Approval is Hyundai's decision — confirm with them first, and note that Just Jump USA® battery replacement is a separate paid service, with any charge always confirmed before work begins.
