So another call back to GS. To shorten the story, after numerous calls and after several lies by GS that a tow truck/flatbed was on the way, we waited 18 hours for a tow that never appeared. I realized I had towing also with my auto insurance, called them, and within 2 hours the car was en route to the closest KIA dealer costing me $50 less for the increased distance tow (38 miles) than GSs price.
Later the same day a GS supervisor called to check on my service. I told her I felt sorry for her having to represent a company such as Good Sam RS.
When we got home I checked on my Progressive RV insurance policy for RSS, added the extra rider to my policy for $19 for the year, and then called Good Sam to cancel my policy with them and request a refund and the balance.
As an aside several times I've talked to tow truck operators asking about GS vs Coachnet. All raved about CN with a couple telling me if GS and CN called for service at the same time they would service the Coachnet call before GS and day.

Here's one I hope they pay a discounted rate. $35,000 tow is crazy

HP would not allow him to call his contract provider, so he would pay for what can't use, plus tow bill?

Also, for short times early '70s and again early '80s I worked with/for companies that had contracts with AAA. So my ideas may be distorted.
For the insurance company to make money they must charge more than pay out. This happens 2 ways; First, most people pay in for years, don't need service. And 2nd, and something the customer should look at; They pay the providers, the guy with truck you depend on, a discounted rate. This means if I have a choice of 2 calls, 1 where I will be paid full price as soon as I'm done, or the 1 where I get less money, and need to wait until sometime next month to get it.
I know it is hard for many, but if instead of paying premiums for a separate policy, save that money pay for service as needed. Check for the tow part of comprehensive insurance.

I truely believe there are pros and cons to both of the ones you mentioned along with the others. There are only so many tow trucks in a given area so you know they all respond to each service.
I can not say what FMCA policy is as far as towing goes. I feel GS towing policy is one of the best.
Good Luck
