Harry, Been delighted with AAA (triple A) in the year we have been here. I signed up at a stand at the driving test centre, took my driving test, then 20 minutes later when my wife was ready to take her test, the battery was a flat as a pancake. The guy at the stand saw it all happen and couldnt exactly refuse help but he admitted it was a first! This was all in a hire car and any replacement was hours away! They have been great, lots of good maps, travel discounts on hotels and have just renewed our membership. Hope all well with you. Best, Des

If you have an iphone with a t and t its about 2 bucks a month to have breakdown service.

Not sure what you drive but some companys give you automatic roadside assistance and towing mine does....JG you have a Merc as well you get free assistance right.

Has some nice side benefits like coupons and discounts to a bunch of online stores, and shopping outlets as well as car loans, passport photo's, credit unions etc.

Agreed
I've also used the hotel room discounts and the DMV services at the office. But free maps were the best, till I got a TomTom.
