Who Is Covered? 
Oldsmobile Roadside Assistance covers all 
1998 Oldsmobile vehicles. 
* 
Coverage is for the Oldsmobile vehicle, regardless of 
the driver, and is concurrent with the Bumper to Bumper 
warranty period. 
Oldsmobile reserves  the  right  to limit services  or 
reimbursement to  an owner  or driver  when in 
Oldsmobile’s judgement  the claims become  excessive in 
frequency  or type  of occurrence. 
*Vehicles  sold  in  Canada have a separate  roadside 
assistance  program, as described  next  in  this  section. 
Transportation and it’s our  way to make sure you’re 
able to get  out even  when  your car 
is in. For same-day 
service,  we’ll give 
you a one-way  shuttle ride  of up 
to  10 miles (16 km).  If your vehicle requires overnight 
warranty repairs, we’ll provide  a loaner  car or 
reimburse  you  up to 
$30 a day  for the cost of alternate 
transportation 
-- a cab,  a  bus or even  a rental car 
if  necessary. Having your  car serviced  is rarely 
convenient, but  with Courtesy Transportation, at 
least you’ll be able  to get  where  you need  to go, 
whether it’s here,  or there. 
Some  state insurance regulations make 
it impractical 
to rent vehicles 
to people under 21 years  of age. If 
you  are under 21 and have difficulty renting  a 
vehicle, Oldsmobile  will reimburse  up to $30/day 
for  documented transportation  you receive. Please 
consult your retailer  for details. 
For warranty repairs during  the Complete  Vehicle 
Coverage period 
in the  New  Vehicle  Limited Warranty, 
interim  transportation  may be available under the 
Courtesy Transportation Program. Please consult your 
retailer 
for details.  The Roadside Assistance program is 
available only 
in the United  States and Canada. 
In Canada, please consult your GM dealer  for 
information 
on Courtesy Transportation.
