Roadside Assistance

I've had Good Sam for years but just this past Deccember I called to get a tow out of my driveway because it was a sheet of glass after snow and rain. I was refused a tow because it was weather related and not due to accident or breakdown. When back home I'll be dropping this coverage and looking for another.Inital discussion with Coach Net indicated that they would do weather related tows and with a lower premium price.

I am in agreement with Frederick. About two years ago, I was driving from my home on the North Coast of Oregon to deliver a Casita to a buyer in Portland, WHEN the stinger disengaged from my tow vehicle...thank God for the safety chains, or it would've rolled right down the coastal range mountain into any following vehicles. I had a premium AAA coverage, called them, they put me on their list to come out and rescue. When they asked what was wrong with my tow vehicle, I said, "nothing" was wrong. The problem was with my trailer. They told me I had NO COVERAGE for my trailer and that I'd have to pay quite a bit extra for that.
I've just gotten Good Sam's and chose the policy that covers both my trailer and my tow rig. Their price for both is much cheaper than AAA's.

So far, so good with Good Sam.

And the problem was: what??? That you hadn't purchased coverage for the trailer? That's exactly how I found out the limits of the AAA coverage that I had purchased.

I had a breakdown and only the tug was covered. In no way was that the insurer's fault/funeral. I paid for the trailer tow, learned my lesson and have since always made sure that anything I tow is included in the coverage that I buy.

As you have done with Good Sam, and as anyone can do with triple A.
