GEICO v. Coach-Net
My GEICO insurance coverage includes Emergency Road Service for the motorhome and the toad. I also have Coach-Net. Is this double coverage? Can (or should) I eliminate the GEICO emergency road ...
Forum Discussion
We had a Coach-Net Rep talk at the last RV Seminar I went to at Howard RV in Wilmington....it was eye opening.
Check your Geico policy, and see how far they will tow you, and if they will tow your toad or care for your dog, if something puts you in the hospital?
Coach-Net will.....they have a new program that will transport your pet to anyplace you want it to go....back home to a neighbor, or to a Kennel.
They will tow your RV (as well as any car you happen to be in, even if you don't actually own it), to the destination that is best for the vehicle.
The Rep told us about an RV that was up in Alaska, with a particular engine that would require a particular Service Shop....they towed it almost 2000 miles.....your Insurance plan isn't going to do that....heck, you'll be lucky if they tow you 10 miles.
They also have Techs on the phones who know RVs....and can help with some of the problems that put you on the side of the road....or send a Tech to the campground, if say, your slide won't come back in, and you can't drive with it open. I'm guessing Geico won't do that!
Only thing she mentioned that they don't tow, is "stupid".....so if you take your RV out in to the boonies, and get stuck, you are probably on your own....after all, it's called "Road-side" assistance.
If you get the Coach-Net (about $150/year and it covers all your cars and all your family drivers (under the age of 26))...you may want to contact Geico, and see if you can get a discount, if you drop their roadside assistance?
Check your policy...they are NOT the same.
I have AAA for my cars, but will be switching to Coach-Net....and no, they are not paying me to say all this stuff!:)
I wish they were:B
