Sorry your going to have to talk to a salesman. The price depends on the region your in.

Also depends on whether you require flatbed and enclosed transport. You have no choice, you have to talk to the company representative. Wayne

It also depends on how far you need a tow service from not the pricing cost from them. If you never take your cars more than a 100 miles out from the house you will never need the longer distance. But as soon as you get a policy with a shorter mileage limitation you will be off on a trip that the breakdown always occurs. My suggestion buy the policy with the largest mileage limitations that's affordable by you. It's not that expensive and AAA is a good company I had them for a while and have been very satisfied.

The difference between 'Plus' and 'Premier' for me in SoCal is ~ $30 Which would more than pay for itself on the first tow. There are other benefits to the 'Premier', as free Notary service, etc.

ok so i called and the office in bay city quoted 53 85 and 116 for premiere. i want to drive my car to some places a few hours away. and 115 for a year would be cheaper than a tow and would offer me some piece of mind.

Remember AAA is more than towing... discounts on Hotels, Dining, Movies, etc. Pays for itself.

I'm NOT a salesman. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Obviously, you have answered your own question. Wayne

They will actually pay for a rental car I believe for a day while you get your car repaired and will pay for some lodging also. I have the premier with 200 miles of towing.

You might want to get a quote from Haggerty also. Wayne

We just joined last week for similar reasons, but mainly to have towing insurance. Our prices here in Texas are about the same as quoted. There is a $20 one time fee for new members, so if your prices include that, then you are a bit less than we are.

We decided for this year, to go with the premiere. Look at their website and they have a comparison chart between the different plans. The one day free car rental is only on the premiere plan.

The premier plan also includes free European tour books, if you plan to drive your car overseas (just joking), but we were interested in some of those books and it was another reason to sign up for the premier plan. Their domestic tour books are free for any of the membership levels, plus free maps, including city maps as well as states.

NOW, you know why I've been with AAA, since 1956!!!
When the AAA Battery Truck came to put a new battery in my truck, I asked the kid, "If my Model A needed a battery, would you pull out all the floorboards & stuff to replace it for FREE"?-----"Yup, been there & done that"!

I have premier towing service that covers anything up to a motor home including RVs. The cost is 135$ year nationwide. The tow is for 100 miles but includes 500 miles per year. This means you can get a 100 mile tow and drop off and get a subsequent tow for another 100 miles up to 500 miles. I am very happy with the AAA services and have used them for theater tickets (caution) tows and locked car services. They also will deliver 5 gallons of gas free if you run out.

For myself...The biggest AAA bonus?
We can do our DMV (car license/drivers license) at AAA VS DMV!
WHEW! Saves hours around here!
