Question about roadside assistance

Off topic for a GM group but not sure where to ask...

I have always had Amoco Motor Club but thought I would shop around and look at what others had to offer and for how much. For Premiere membership at Amoco it is $89 a year, that offers a lot of reimbursement and 100 mile towing. Next best SOUNDS like AAA. $72 a year for pretty much the same coverage.

Has anyone had experience with AAA or other motor clubs that can give their opinion? I couldn't find any info on the internet to compare them side by side, or any consumer opinions on the various clubs.

Thanks!

Check with your auto insurance company to see if they offer roadside service coverage. For example, State Farm offers it for about $4.00 per year if you already have auto insurance through them. It covers roadside assistance to get you moving again and towing, if needed, to the nearest service center.

The motor clubs (Amoco, AAA, and so forth) provide services beyond towing and roadside assistance, such as maps, trip planning, and so forth, so they cost more than the plans that insurance companies provide. If you just want roadside assistance and towing coverage, then coverage through your insurance company might be the best deal.

For all the money I've spent over 13 years on AAA, I have only used them once. It was for towing my 89 Z 24 convertible when two fuel injectors died at once.. The Bonneville has never broken down.

I've belonged to AAA since 1988 and have only used it for towing once and a few maps but it's like insurance, it's great if it's there when you need it.
