Default Anyone else have AAA

Recently got AAA mostly for the towing service. Will be traveling around New England on Whitewater kayaking trips and thought it was a good idea driving a Balzer and all. Got the top one, 108 dollars a year and good for a 200 mile tow. Also I can use it no matter whose vehicle I`m in

Yeah it's a pretty good thing o have IMO. I don't have it but my father in law does and we used it to tow my landrover when I blew the motor in that.

They use different towing companies so the wait time will be the same during storms. used my mother inlaws twice and never waited more than 45 min.

I was thinking about getting this, but my girlfriends sister married someone who's family owns a towing company, so if we break down, or get into an accident and need a tow, just a phone call and will get it towed wherever for free.

I've had basic service for several years. I only have the basic service, but I have never had to use it. I have more than paid for the membership with the discounts I get. I originally got AAA the first time I was going to Orlando. Saved more on Disney and Seaworld tickets than I paid. i highly recommend everyone consider something like this.

I have had AAA plus for many years. I just had to use it to two days ago when my fuel pump died on the interstate. Do not overlook the tripticks and tour books when you travel.
