Have Plus and had it for many years. I understand that it will also cover your golf cart with few exceptions. Also get a monthly readout on my credit report at no charge.

I've been with AAA about 30 years and they have rescued me several times. Always reliable and available 24/7, wherever you are. I upgraded to Premium this year mostly because of the towing benefits I also like their map and trip planning services and that they have an office here in The Villages.

We have AAA Plus. Had it for years. Helped us out on many occasions. Would never drive long distances without it.

The trip planning service offered at the Bichara Blvd. office is worth the membership alone. Booked a three week road trip there, and it made the planning of hotels and attractions easy with some nice cost savings. And they put the final product in a collated binder for your day by day itinerary.

I have a couple of good boring stories about AAA but other posts have mentioned more than enough good ones. Bottom line, AAA is a great value and worth every dollar you pay for it. OP, you can go on-line or into their office and get brochures on the different plans. They are all good.

We have had AAA for many years and have used it many times. I think it's well worth it. You can call the local AAA office in Spanish Springs area and ask about their regularly scheduled seminars that you can attend to learn about all of the benefits that a membership offers. Benefits go way beyond the valuable roadside service.

Had AAA for +20 years thru my employer (it was free), it was nice.............but not worth the cost. Travel information services are available on the internet. Roadside assistance services is more or less an insurance policy. I don't buy insurance for things I can afford.

AAA is dying with the "senior" generation.

We've had AAA for years and some of my past employers had it for their service fleets. I believe AAA also has a great bail bond coverage as well.

as someone once said to me "a cell phone and an AAA card" gives you a lot of piece of mind. Had it for years....in Florida heat batteries do not last very long. One time stopped for gas and when I went to leave the battery was dead. so glad I had it then and other times.

I would change. Not sure if it would matter but why risk it.

I agree with not buying insurance for losses you can cover. So you can afford to pay the towing bill but do you know who to call at 1:am when you breakdown in CA or PA? It is insurance for finding reliable help, not the cost of paying for the help once you find it.

Exactly! :thumbup:

Just having someone to call, who has a network and can find someone to help you (possibly in the middle of nowhere), is well worth the cost all by itself in my opinion.

Have had AAA for many years and have used it many times. Would not leave home without it.

Finally, something that everybody on TOTV agrees on.

We discovered that Florida is much less expensive than Mid-Atlantic was for a Premier membership, so I imagine you would do well to switch.
