Let OnStar provide added peace of mind as you take your next road trip  

Looking to get away with family or close friends? Many of us are planning a trip to the United States to hit the open road and discover new places. Any worthwhile road trip requires some preparation — especially for the unexpected. First things first: check on travel restrictions into the U.S. and remain safe and vigilant about any necessary health precautions. And, since a lot can happen on the road, take OnStar and all its services with you anywhere you go so you’ll have the confidence to brave a long trip. Best of all, you can continue to use the same services in the United States.  

Turn-by-Turn Navigation

With Turn-by-Turn Navigation,* an OnStar Advisor can guide you to almost any destination and also share some recommendations. This includes finding attractions, restaurants and places to stay along the way. 

Roadside Assistance 

Feeling helpless in a place you’re not familiar with is tough. But it doesn’t have to be that way with Roadside Assistance.* Whether you are stranded, need a tow, have a flat tire or run into other problems on the road, connect with an Advisor who can send help to you.

 

Additionally, check out these five tips on what to do if you have a breakdown.

Guardian app 

Now you can access key OnStar safety services virtually anywhere you go through the OnStar Guardian™ app.* This includes Mobile Crash Response, which is designed to use your smartphone’s sensors to detect a crash and alert an Emergency-Certified Advisor,* as well as the ability to request Roadside Assistance.* The best part is you can share the app with up to seven family members or friends,* so they can have added peace of mind too.  

Crisis Assist  

In the event of severe weather, a natural disaster or other crisis, Advisors can provide critical assistance,* helping Members find their way and stay in contact with loved ones.  

Stolen Vehicle Assistance  

If your vehicle is stolen, our Advisors are ready to assist you with Stolen Vehicle Assistance,* which can help authorities attempt to recover your vehicle.  

Automatic Crash Response  

Anything can happen during a trip. In the event a crash is detected,* built-in vehicle sensors are designed to send a signal that can alert an Advisor. The Advisor can help locate your vehicle and send for help — even if you can’t ask for it.  

Emergency Services  

During a time of need, connect with a specially trained Advisor who can coordinate with emergency services and give certain medical instructions. Just push the red Emergency button for a priority connection to an Emergency-Certified Advisor.
