    Daughter does, don't know the cost but she locked her keys in her car way out in the boonies while hunting and they found her and got it done.

    I've had it for decades... while some years I've not used used them and others I have, I like the little bit of protection.

    I have the premium membership and my adult kids on it. Worth the peace of mind.

    Don't know what type of coverage you're looking for, but your car insurance company may offer roadside assistance at no charge. It probably won't be as comprehensive as what AAA has, but it should cover the basic problems of getting "stuck." I have USAA insurance and have used my roadside assistance once or twice with good results.

    If you have kids away in college, or you have distance relatives, or you travel on vacation etc. Its a great service.

    Get the premium package, you can have a vehicle towed up to 200 miles.

    I have used it many times with children. if they lock their keys in car, run out of gas, flat tire, breakdown; they call AAA.

    My wife uses their travel planning.

    I have used the 200 mile tow twice. They will pick it and drop it where ever you want.

    Its cheap peace of mind.

    I've had it for years now. Haven't used it in a while but with my plan I have I think 3 towings up to 150 miles, and I forget how many at 50 miles.

    Also there are a lot of perks like hlchealer hotels and car rentals. I've gotten free books on places I want to travel and consultations. I believe that they will help plan and organize trips to wherever you want to go, along with purchasing any needed tickets.

    I've gotten passport photos at AAA offices for free.

    Highly recommend

    I don't have it, the wife, daughter and son have been members for 14 years according to their cards. I asked for it when the daughter was away at college the second time she called me saying she had another flat tire with the keys locked in the car. I took the spare set down ( 30 miles) but made her change the tire. She now works about 2 hours away and son is 12 hours away. Don't think either has called AAA for anything in 14 years.

    Save your money and get roadside assistance on your vehicle insurance policy. It's way cheaper than AAA and covers the same things and there are no deductibles...

    I think I pay $0.50 or a $1.00 a month for mime, and I've used it several times, without a problem... And if you end up using it too much they won't raise your rates, they'll just drop the roadside assistance of your insurance. But I have had to use it three times in one year, and they did not drop me

    I have had it for 50 years and I am satisfied with it. Fast claims service.

    We've had it for decades. When you need a tow, it not only pays for itself but is so simple. One call and the tow truck shows up. No need to try to find a service near by, that's open and has availability. Just call AAA and a truck shows up.

    Their battery service is great too. We have some old cars. Car won't start, I don't screw with it. Call AAA and they come diagnose problem on my driveway or where ever. If it's the battery they install one. If it needs to go in, they tow it.

    We can go years without using it, then use it three times in one year. Highly recommend.

    I haven't used the tow service for our cars but I have used it several times for motorcycles. One tow pays for the entire year & it's nice to know it's available for our cars.

    Experiences can be good, sometimes not.

    After a sudden drop in temperature, lots of customers need a hotshot, so you may have to wait hours for the tow truck. You have to be there when the tow truck arrives, so you can't just get a ride & expect the vehicle to be fixed when you return.

    Most towers now use a portable charging system analyzer, & give you a print out if your car won't start.

    If you want your car to go to a favorite repair facility, be sure to leave a paper with the name & address in your car; you may not want your wife to have it towed to Bubba's Gas Station.

    What with GPS, the Triptiks are no longer essential when going on long trips. But, guide books are still worthwhile.

    The other good thing is that it doesn't matter what car you're in. Carry the card and you're covered even if you're only a passenger in Bubba's pickup.

    Yes, get the plus membership. Worth every nickel, especially if you have a classic car.

    Got stuck at 10pm in my 356. Called for a flat bed. None local, they were willing to send a driver from 4 hours away to come get me.

    When my truck was stolen, they covered all towing and impound fees, etc. when it was recovered. And my deductible for having the locks replaced.

    I will never not have AAA+ membership.
