They will not make any repairs but will sell you a battery or tires at slghtly higher than on going rates? I ask because we have been AAA members for years. Long story but steering on car failed when at the Orlando Airport, waited 4+ hours for AAA even though they said they would be there within 20 minutes about 8 times. Finally hired a taxi and went to nearest Walmart, bought steering fluid, put it in car, just made it home. My reward from AAA for stranding me and not coming was 2 $25 Shell Gas coupons. They charge for extra miles of tow, will not make any repairs, allegedly charge more than recommended retail rates for tires and batteries and want about $85 a year for this? Am I wrong in thinking this is another rip?


The plan I have provides for one 200 mile tow per year, as well as unlimited 100 mile tows. With my wife using a rollator I want to be certain she is well covered. The premier plan, with all its options, is worth it for peace of mind.
