Currently I pay $4/yr for roadside assistance from my insurance co (Mercury), which means I do the calling and paying, and get up to $75 reimbursed per incident. I have no complaints with their service, as they have always given me no hassle and very quick reimbursements. Still, two tows in the past month have given me sticker shock as to how expensive they are, so I'm looking at alternatives.
I qualify through my union, for roadside assistance membership through a company called United States Auto Club, Motoring Division, Inc. Additionally, I have found the Good Sam club, and even Chevron has a roadside assistance.
Does anyone here have any experience with these? They all appear to be a bit cheaper than AAA. AAA, based on averaging out my last towing incidents, would only benefit me financially on the third towing incident per year, and I don't know that I've ever needed three in a year. These others offer lower membership costs, as well as (usually) more free miles towed per incident, than AAA.
