Having your own VECRV (Vehicle Emergency Contact Registration Vehicle) is generally considered to be safer than relying on a third-party service, such as a roadside assistance provider, to provide emergency contact information. This is because when you have your own VECRV, you are in control of the information that is stored and you can be sure that it is up-to-date and accurate. With a third-party service, you may not be able to guarantee that the information is accurate or up-to-date, which could lead to delays in getting help in an emergency situation. Additionally, third-party services may also charge a fee for their services, which could be an additional expense. Therefore, having your own VECRV is generally considered to be the safer option.
