You and the AAA
Who here has the AAA coverage? Do you recommend AAA coverage for those of us that know nothing? I'd stop and give what help I could to someone broke down but I don't want to be the one broke down and an A left on the side of the road is not all the kosher.....IMO and, there are no Barn Gurus just down the road around here!!!!!!

Re: You and the AAA
I have their towing. I have used it twice, once for my 36 Ford pickup. the fuel pump went out. I asked the driver if he could get my pickup into my shop , and he did. the second time I had to have my Ranger pickup towed about 65 miles, didn't cost a dime. I have their extended tow package. I think they will tow me up to 150 miles

Re: You and the AAA
That would be great and a perfect solution but I don't have a smart phone and I don't have that many years left to figure one out. But!!! I do have a cell phone, last model offered as a flippy for emergencies, the daughter's insist!!! I don't have the text feature, nor do I tweet, facebooky or anything other than words spoke into the microphone.

Re: You and the AAA
You can select the available towing by the level of card you have, and of course, how much you pay.
I think its worth the peace of mind, knowing you wont be stranded out somewhere, whether its in your A, your modern car, or even riding with a friend who doesnt have it. YMMV. Just a like life insurance...buy it and hope you dont need it. |

Re: You and the AAA
Yes. Get the AAA+ membership, 10 mi free towing 4 times a year. Usually someone knowledgeable will show up and treat your car like a baby (my experience).
Heck, I even used them last year to tow me home from the casino because I was tired and didn't feel like driving............. Paul in CT |

Re: You and the AAA
a have had AAA for years. Had it for our motorcycles and never used it. I have used it for our modern cars several times. Never used it for the A,but it is comforting to have it when you are far from home.They also have a lot of free travel guides and maps to plan trips.

Re: You and the AAA
That did cross my mind...............but I didn't see where the use of a flatbed was a choice item.

Re: You and the AAA
I have had AAA membership for ~43 years. It's good for other things besides towing such as battery jump, change flat, gas, discounts to Disneyland, etc.
I have AAA insurance on all my cars and the house too. |

Re: You and the AAA
We also have AAA. I have used it a number of times to tow my companies vans. It is good coverage.
Around here, you can request flat bed pickup which I would say you should get for an A. But, if you drive on long trips, remember to make sure you have cell phone coverage in the area you are going or you may be sitting along the road! The other advantage is you can get maps, tour books, etc. from AAA at no cost. Very useful if you do some traveling. They will also plan a trip for you at no charge.
