Even the most careful driver can encounter a damaged wheel, flat tire, or punctured tire when driving on the road. Any nail, potholes, or glass that punctures or bruises your vehicle’s tires can easily damage the wheels, leading to expensive out-of-pocket costs. Thankfully, Baja’s Tire Hazard Protection Plan will help ensure that your tire is repaired quickly while saving you high repair or replacement costs in Texas.  

Baja Insurance Has You Covered

Having a flat or punctured tire while traveling can be an overwhelming experience. It is important to get the tire issue fixed immediately to enable you to get back on the road. Fortunately, Baja has you covered with the Tire Hazard Protection Plan as part of Travel Club membership. With this, you can have the peace of mind that you don’t have to pay for all the cost of fixing an emergency tire issue.

What are Road Hazards?

Road hazards can be defined as debris on the road surface, like nails, rock, wood, glass, tree limb, tree branch, and so forth that may be encountered while driving. Road hazards also constitute road surface conditions, including potholes, cracks, breaks, gravel, rough roads, bumpy edges, and more. Any of these can puncture or cause a flat tire.
