You would be better off to put $120 cash in the glove box once a year. Then some time in the next ten years if you need a tow just pay cash.
^This!!
Unless you're on the bubble of relaiblity, i.e. Old not so great TV and trailer.
I'll admit, I carried AAA as a kid when all I could afford was old clunkers. That cost per year was recouped many times over when those piles of shizz broke down! Especially when I was snowplow ing. I'd have em tow it home every time, not to a shop, so I could patch it back up and get back out there.
A buddy does the same with his RV. He rocks a craappy old Cousin Eddy rv, has the 200 mi radius coverage and confiNes his travels to that area lol. Works for him. Said he's re couped the cost getting towed home several times. Strange means to an end though. Since he could afford to have one that wasn't such a pos!
Some people are more comfortable w the service though. If yur not too handy with a wrench, a lot of minor issues that could be fixed roadside may be necessary for some to get towed. Plus jump start, flat change, locked keys in, out of gas. All preventable or fairly easy remedy but may be out of some peoples capability or desire to take care of themselves.
