Best Roadside Assistance Plan
Hi guys. I was just curious. What is the best Roadside Assistance plan for our cars? Is AAA really the best or are there alternatives which you think are better. I need to get some plan for my car and want to make sure I do the reasearch and ask the best guys around for this stuff. Thanks in advance.

I have had AAA Plus for almost ten years now. It is great. I think it gives 75 miles of free towing and even if you're not the driver it's still covered. Example; my g/f's car was dead a few weeks ago and they towed about 25 miles with no ?'s asked. Cots is about $100 per year.

I've been looking for a plan too. I don't like CAA (Canada's equivalent of the AAA). It's on the person not the car. Our GMC Envoy is still on GM's roadside assistance so both my wife and I are already covered when driving it. With CAA, though, while I'll be covered driving my Maxima my wife won't!

okay I guess AAA it is. Their website really sux in terms of the service that they provide. The only thing Ive notived though is that I can NOT be a plus member unless Im with them for 2 years??? IS this true??/ I thnk being towed 7 miles is useless to me because I dont wan to be towed to some shop thats gonna charge me 3XX what it costs to fix. Can any1 clear this up please. Thanks.

I have GEICO, recently signed up for their insurance and they have roadside assiatance as well. I hope they're good. My extended warranty also has towing, one or the other has to work, I hope. Maximas are reliable enough hopefully to not need towing.
