Re: You and the AAA
I have the premier plan. Last year I used it to tow my A from Meadows of Dan on the Blue Ridge Parkway to the next stop in NC at my motel. It was about 150 miles. I gave the guy a reasonable tip. I rented a car to get home and get my truck and trailer.
Two years before that my modern expensive car broke down outside of Nashville. It was about 180 miles from home on December 30. There was a football game in Nashville the next day and I did not expect to find a motel. The driver said that he accepted only cash - no checks or credit cards. I needed him to stop at the bank near my house to use the ATM. All was well at the ATM until his truck dumped a lot of fuel on the newly repaved bank lot. His truck would not go. I paid him for the miles and he called the AAA to get another truck to get me the next 5 miles. I guess that he got home before dawn.
I submitted the bill for the extra miles to State Farm. It took a few weeks but they eventually paid me most of the difference for the cash that I was out.
I would not be without AAA Premier.
Most of the modern cars cannot be towed on the old fashioned hook or by getting the front wheels on a dolly. They need to be flat bed towed.
