Default Golf cart towing

Is there one service better than the other? They both seem to be about the same price which is $59 for a year. Is one more reliable? Have you had good or bad experience with any?

I have **** Aid and have needed them twice in 4 years.....both times responsive and efficient. If you are a AAA member they provide the service for no additional cost....may try them next time if I need a tow.

I always carry a tow strap on my cart. I have towed several people over the years FOR FREE. I have never passed up a broke down cart.

Please Please don't start the gas vs electric discussion AGAIN

IMHO, that seems about as silly as suggesting to always carry a spare gas can for gas carts, or for all cart owners to carry a spare tire...in case you ever need them.

Chargers are heavy (especially for their size), not exactly cheap (I suppose you can always use a cable/lock for securement)...and take up quite a bit of room in a normal cart basket.

Not to mention what damage that heavy charger might do to a normal cart basket while it bounces around...or even damage to the charger itself.

It's a natural progression when one starts talking about the need to tow golf carts, can't be avoided.
