AAA Towing Insurance Is A Rip Off.
Dropped my AAA this year.
Last time I re-upped to what had been Keystone, I didn't catch the reduced towing distance on the policy -
it was less than 5 miles. Shoot that wouldn't have got me, or the car, anywhere to speak of.
This year I let it expire for good.
At one time the New Jersey AAA membership price was reasonable, especial for family. The SE PA club, then called Keytone, was always more, but since then its got to the point that there is no benefit.
Lets see what the local membership fee and towing distance is now.
I could see maybe justifying the $123.50 with the second person offer. Maybe. Or maybe its just better to call a local company and pay them. I know how many years go by between the times when I've run out of fuel, needed a jump, or a tow. That and how common it is to have ridculous wait times for their service it seemed like it was time to stop giving them money. Money that also goes to lobbying positions I dont always agree with and marketing stuff I don't need.
