AAA Plus verses Auto advantage.
Switched from 30 years of AAA Plus to Auto Advantage. Half the price and better services.

A couple of our friends went with them last year and haven't had any issues, so we decided to try them out for a year. AAA gets expensive when added kids and family members.

We recently dropped AAA after about 10 years and switched to Good Sam due to our travel trailer and their ability to cater toward the RV community. I had to use their towing service a couple of weeks ago and was satisfied with the experience. Of course a big part of that depends on the local towing company that is contracted out to help, but the service call and follow up were timely and adequate.

$69 a year instead of $210 with longer daily tows, I can go to Sea World for FREE with those savings, and get soaked by Shamu, NOT AAA.

I was skeptical and probably still am. I will keep up with this thread throughout my first year to see if they are truly better than AAA!

I too, would like to hear your experience in the long term. I've been a satisfied AAA member for 15 years. Currently I have their Premium RV coverage which is $160/year. It includes towing to any location up to 200 miles. It covers our camper and boat/trailer. Our family has used it nearly once a year for things ranging from lockouts to stalled vehicles needing tow to home or mechanic, and they've always been prompt, within an hour. I figure one call pays for the premium, and it's been great peace of mind for my wife and kids. Especially when we're out traveling with our toys and equipment far from home. But, as with most other things, I am curious how other plans work.
