Good Sam Roadside Assistance Cost Increase

I just received the renewal for our motorhome roadside assistance and boy it went up! Going to be $219 for a year of the platinum+ roadside assistance. I called and was told this particular plan does not exist anymore. I went online to check out the 2 they have and don't see where this one is that much better. I sure could use a bit of input here.

  • Hello Triker33,

    Thank you for your time and post. With the Standard Good Sam Roadside Assistance program lock out service is a paid benefit. If you have any further questions or concerns please call 800-601-2850 an agent would be happy to help. Or, if you would like send me a private message and I will follow up with you.

    Thank you,

    Ella
  • Hummmm! The Platinumis still listed as $139.95 a year on their web page.

    Looks like the standard(was called basic) has increased to $112.95.
    And doesn't cover lock out anymore. :(

    Read the small print! The fact that they sent you a 'renewal' notice and you are NOT even due for renewal is the red flag of their consistent bad faith advertising tactics.

    I got a renewal notice with a low rate printed on it. Time came for me to renew and the actual price was double that. I presented the renewal notice and they said : "Oh that rate is for NEW members Only".

    1. WHY send a current member a rate for new members only???

    2.That's the thanks I get for being a member for years and years.....give the new member the discount rate.:R

    You'd think after all these years of ticking members off they'd stop this practice of sending fraudulent renewal notices out.

  • I just renewed mine(Platinum) for the FW when I called they gave me a deal 2 years for $200 saved me $40 bucks a year.
  • We have 5th wheel and just got a renewal of 60 but don't know what it covers

  • Check with your RV insurance company they may have roadside coverage which would cost peanuts compared to $219. When I was insured with Progressive, the roadside was about $47. Used it once and it worked well.
