AAA Membership! Premium or Plus?

Question

Hi,

I want to become a AAA member (for Roadside assistance).

1.Which membership type is good, Premier or Plus?

I won't travel much, but atleast one long trip for a month.. and general weekly intercity travel..

2. What they mean by "Free tows (four) of up to 100 driving miles per disablement" ? 400 miles per year or 25 miles per year?

3. If I signup as a memeber today, do they start covering me from tomorrow?

Please let me know the answers and your experiences.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Call AAA, they have very nice people that know all the answers better than anyone on this site unless they work for AAA, like me :-) For your situation I would advise a Plus membership. You get 4 road service calls per year. Road service is lockout, change flat tire, enough gas to get to a station, jump start, or a tow. Each tow could be up to 100 miles. Plus has other goodies that you should ask those nice people I mentioned. I hope you never need me, but if you do, you'll be glad you're a member.

Answer 2

it's all about what You can afford

Answer 3

I have had the Plus for years since I live in a ruaral area and a tow would never be a short distance. When I lived in Florida, they towed my car from Tampa to Ocala. Great service and people. If you join and they give you a number (card number) you would be covered right away.
