Roadside assistance: AAA Alternatives?

wolf · 11-25-2008, 12:50 PM

I have had two road service companies over the years ... the one through Texaco/Shell and more recently (for about the last 6 years) the one through Allstate.

I have had good experiences with both.

The only reason I don't have AAA is that they do not consider two adults who are unmarried living at the same address as as "family" under their definiation. Because I wanted coverage for both myself and my mother, and didn't want to pay for two separate adult memberships, I told them to pound sand.

I've only ever used the roadside assistance that came with the warranty on my jeep. The guy was quick but annoying (he was sure I had a dead battery and insisted on trying to jump start it even though it clearly wasn't the problem - turns out out was the starter, also covered under warranty).
