Rodk19, since you are a automotive tech I would think you would understand what it costs, our shop rates here in California are 100 plus dollars an hour. So 220 bucks to get your rig towed 100 miles is a darn good deal in my book, and if you are traveling how often are you beyond that 100 mile limit from your home. Sure they are banking on the fact that most will not need the service because I guarantee you it will cost them a lot more than 220 buck to take care of you if you break down.

I realize the cost involved in towing. How can CAAs prices remain constant and GS has yearly price increases though, and this years was a big one. That $220 is almost $300 here in Canada and I can get the same coverage for $100 less per year.

You answered your question. You say you can get the same coverage for $100 less. What are you waiting on? Go get it and move on.

OOPS my bad thought you were talking AAA :S

I meant for Good Sam - there is no Platinum Plus on their site.

How about this scroll to the bottom to see the rate for RV coverage.

They still have the brochure on their website but do not show the package in their pricing.

I had to take a look at my plan. It's the Platinum plan and we pay $139.95 for a year. I checked their site and couldn't find a Platinum Plus version of the plan.

It would be interesting to find out what AAA RV service charges. Years back when we had AAA for our autos, the RV roadside assistance was overpriced so we went with Good Sam.

I have AAA Plus with the RV upgrade and the bill just came $136.00
Here is the break down
$48 for membership.

$51 for the AAA plus,100 miles towing to any place you want.

$37 RV, RV provides up to 100 driving miles of towing for motor homes, pickup trucks with campers, travel trailers (including fifth wheel), motorcycles, camping trailers, snowmobile trailers, and boat trailers.

Last year it was $133.00

Thanks for the feedback.
