Coach Net vs AAA. An Experience.

So there it is. Immediate response by Coach Net as opposed to an interminable wait for AAA, and the fact they covered a vehicle which wan't even mine. BTW, this was the first time I ever called Coach Net for assistance.

Unfortunately, your - "so there it is" - experience is pretty meaningless..:S

"SOP" = the person with any (the) ERS only needs to be present - not the driver or owner of the vehicle.

The wait on the phone can happen with any ERS..:R

I've had exactly the opposite with AAA.
Instant answer to the call.
And - there was a tow truck who saw me pull over when the car engine died crossing an intersection (fuel pump) - waited for the call for the tow. Had a tow operator "on scene" in about 2 minutes from hanging up with AAA.

However - AAA (you need the "upgraded" plan/s for RVs) - is probably *not* the best choice. AAA is *not* the same throughout the US.

Lastly - with *any* ERS - Coach Net, Good Sam, Allstate, AAA, etc. - you will get a tow operator who contracts with your Motor Club.

Often you will get the *same* tow operator no matter which Motor Club you belong to (as they have contracts with all/some/most).

Your potential "wait time" is not just with the dispatcher for your Motor Club - but the dispatcher for the tow operator he/she contacts for service where you are.

Then - your service (or wait for same) will be rendered depending on location (urban/rural) call load, weather, etc.

So - there it is - in the real world..:W

BTW - I keep my basic AAA (in CA for maps & DMV services) and have another ERS for my RV - which I won't "plug" as they are all about the same.

The Motor Club that rings *your* chimes is the one *you* should have!.:C

Only one that is 100% reliable 100% of time with instantaneous service is the Dead Presidents Motor Club or a CC.
