Does anyone use a car club other than AAA for emergency services?

I like having a car club for emergencies and have been with AAA for decades, but they're not cheap and aren't always that reliable. Has anyone had any experience with any other service or club providing emergency roadside assistance? I'm not talking about OnStar or something that comes with a new car. My car has 184,000 miles and I need the peace of mind from belonging to a car club.

Thanks for your responses.

Hi there,

I have auto insurance with Farmers and they offered Towing service (include Jump cable. towing, replace flat tires, pretty much like AAA) with cheaper cost. LAst time I got a dead battery, Icalled their customer service and they came to help me within like 10 min

CHeck with your local Farmers agent about that

Good luck

My insurance company whome I hold in high regards offers a roadside service.I pay 2 dollars-yes 2 dollars a month and I get towing,lockout etc.I have to pay up front but I get reimburst.state farm is who I am with. I have used it several times and never had a problem.After I pay the bill I just take the recipt to the state farm office and they give me a check.The reason it's so cheap is that most people who have it and don't even know it's on their policy.you may be one of those people!sure I can't get thosy fancy trip ticks but it's 2006 and we have gps! well that should do ya,good luck!

I have Cross County Motor Club through my car insurer, which is Liberty Mutual. I have been in some unbearable jams. Cross County has always come through with a tow truck in the worst of weather and out-of-the-way places.

Look into options through your insurer or other insurers. There are, indeed, other services out there.

Check with your insurance company. I use Progressive and they offer roadside assistance to me for $6/year. That's right, $6 per YEAR! I've used it to be towed a few times now.

I use Allstate motor Club. I'm not sure what AAA charges but Allstate charges $120 a year for the same coverage.

I have State Farm Insurance and they offer emergency road services on their policies. I also have a rental car insurance they offer. Pretty cheap, if I recall.

Yes some people us OnStar some use the dealers themselves if you have a new car or bike this is a benefit which typically comes with you new auto or Honda VTX 1300R! And if you have a boat you have safe sea! Also many insurance companies have this as and option.

Yes, if your cell phone company is Cingular, for about 2 dollars a month extra you can call them just like triple A.
