How good is their roadside service?
Thinking about getting for my Dad who is up in age and would be helpless if he broke down on the road somewhere.

It's got me out of a couple of jams and is absolutely worth it.
Do. It.
Do. It.

I have RSA through my insurance company, have used it twice, no complaints.

Have had it for 30+ years, during which I needed their road-side service maybe 6 times, all of which were satisfactory.
I have the Premier membership, which I believe would give me one 200 mile towing per year, plus three shorter ones.
Have also used their travel service many times for maps, routings, etc.

I have been seeing the ads for 47 bucks a year for 2 family members. Seems like no brainer. Just was curious if the service was reliable. We both have State Farm I will have to check and see if it's offered.

Have the family plan and will never give it up. Had to use it several times for my daughter's car alone. Nice for peace of mind.

The cheapest level of AAA pays to tow a very short distance. Like 3 miles give or take. That may not even get you to the next exit

I only have an AA membership

I've had AAA since I got my license. It has bailed me out a few times. Notably, if I am with anyone that locks their keys in their car AAA sends Pop-A-Lock out for no extra charge. It's helped out some friends through the years.

I can see or your dad. It is basically tow insurance for a normal adult. I do all of my maintaince before long trips to reduce the chance of something happening.

Just make sure you choose the AAA Plus option, which is $74 per year.
You get 4 tows per year, each of them up to 100 miles. It is super worth it.
You can even be riding with a friend somewhere, and if his car breaks down, you're in great shape, because the member is covered - not a specific vehicle.

Yeah, but they charge you a reduced rate for any over mileage. You only pay like a third of the tow fee. Every driver should have AAA.
eta- they'll also let you call and upgrade on the spot.

I have one. They've saved me twice in the last 4 years I've had it.
Posted on 11/2/15 at 10:06 pm to Ponchy Tiger
Yep. Worth it to me. Used it twice last year after not using it the 2 years before. Just renewed this month. Just the basic membership.

does their service include anything besides towing? I can't say that I have ever had to be towed...and if I did, wouldn't it be just as easy for me to call a towing company as it would to call AAA?....

TripTics. My father always went to the AAA office on Florida Street in front of the old Kornmeyers before we took the Buick Estate Wagon with vinyl wood paneling on vacation. He had routing and and trip tics which were maps with the route in a small binder with each page about 100 miles of the trip. When he died a few years ago I found one for a trip to Hilton Head Island we took in 1974 in his desk. I now have it in my desk.
We have triple A now and have used it once but it is worth it.
