Life is unpredictable. It’s why we built the Safety & Security Plan.
Life can send us curveballs in all forms. We’re here for you. Lost? We’ve got you. Fender bender? We’ve got you. Flat tire? We’re on it. Car thieves? We’ll stop them in their tracks.* The OnStar Safety & Security Plan* gives you Turn-By-Turn Navigation*; GM Roadside Assistance* (including towing); and if you’re in a crash,* we’ll check in and request help, even if you can’t ask for it.
