A.A.A.
I got a letter from AAA today about how they can save me money on insurance and for like a 100 buck a year i can join there motor club. I read all the fine print and it sounds too good to be true that if i brak down i get towed a 100 miles free. Has anyone every had any dealings with them Im fixing to have to start comuting in a old truck for work and school and It sounds good for 100 bucks a year .

Triple A does save you money on towing if you use it.
I purchased it a few years ago after & tow cost me $75.00 for 5 miles. Ever since then I have used it to my advantage. I even was towed 500 miles once to get my car back home. AAA only covered the first 100 but then I got a deal on the rest of the charges becasue of the AAA membership.
I also used it for friends & other family members so I alsway got my use out of the membership fees.

herea something to think about:
i travel quite a bit, sometimes i take customers out for a social drink or two, being in a strange town, i don't want to drink and drive, so i call AAA, tell them my truck won't start, they send a tow truck, i slip the driver a twenty and he tows my truck to my hotel or home , no harm no foul. this only happens once in a blue moon. doing it this way, i'm not a risk to other drivers or myself, or look at it this way spend a hundred and get towed, or spend $5000+ and a couple of nights in jail and everything eles that go along with a DUI...just my .02's

Up here we have CAA & Alberta with AMA.
For $78.00 I get AMA PLus.
With that I get:
5 tows with each on max 160 KM
5 bring me gasoline
5 Unlock my car because the keys are in it.
For $92.00 Cdn:
I get AMA Plus RV.
With this,I get everything I already mentioned plus, Figure the Trailer in there as well.
Also note, This applies to me ANYWHERE in North America.
You can save the amount of the membership fee with one tow.
Buy it,it is one more thing giving you piece mind.

My parents have (had) AAA. The towing thing came in handy a couple of times (imagine that, a chevy van had to be towed, and an asian car, huh whoda thunk it), but only a few times. We also saved a chunk o' change on a hotel in New York on a trip up there. I guess if you use it it's not a bad deal. And the towtruck designated driver thing- on New Years Eve, AAA does a thing where if your a member and get a little buzzed, you can call em up nd they'll send a wrecker and tow you and your car home for free I think.
