Comment on My elderly parents' car broke down a couple hundred miles away. How can I get them and their car home (or fixed) with a minimum of cost and hassle?

If it’s under warranty, then the manufacture will cover towing to the nearest dealer and if they are outside of the range, to the nearest qualified mechanic. Hard stop, call the warranty company and have them hash it out.

It’s a Kia, and it’s within the 10-year/100k mile powertrain warranty, but apparently not the 5-year/60k mile roadside assistance plan.

  So they only have the powertrain warranty for 10-year/100k mile? Because your link says the general 10-year/100k mile includes 5 year/ 60000 mile roadside assistance.

Definitely this. I can’t speak to every manufacturer but I know with Ford I have their roadside assistance for the length of my warranty.
