Most of my travel is between Tampa and The Villages, 75 miles door-to-door between my two abodes. With Premier Membership I can get free towing the entire distance if needed.
Also, since the coverage is for whatever vehicle I am in, I have used it to get my son's car towed from TV to Tampa when it broke down. In the past few days I had to get my car towed the last 20 miles into Tampa when I had engine problems.
In addition, I have had to call for flat tire service twice in the road construction areas north of Tampa. Last year my gas gauge failed and I ran out of gas. In all cases, the AAA service man arrived sooner than their estimate. (Of course it still seemed a long time while sitting on the side of the road.)
I have been a AAA member since long before there were GPS apps, or even cell phones, and my wife and I traveled a lot. The Tour Books, free maps, Trip Tix, motel discounts, preferential parking at Disney World, Cruise Bookings, and many other conveniences and discounts made the membership worthwhile.
Different people have different perceptions and different needs.
I have been quite satisfied with my AAA membership.

Carl - I've been negligent for not thanking you for all your past service before today. I hope you are feeling well.
