I guess my question is what do you folks use and why?
 

I'm undoubtedly jinxing myself here, but my roadside assistance plan consists of a small green canvas tool bag and my Visa card. So far the Visa has been used for about a hundred bucks worth of towing over the past 38 years.

I'm not certain that this is pertinent to ask on the list, but it does
relate to my van so here goes... I just received a renewal for my roadside
assistance plan. I have used it twice in December of 2008 and have paid
about $340 for the two years of annual fees. I'm not sure this is
worthwhile, or currently sustainable. The critical issue for me is the
ability to tow the vehicle to a reputable mechanic if need be. I'm not
likely going to run out of gas, lock my keys in the van or require hotel
discounts -- I am really just interested in the possibility of a long tow if
the scenario ever arose. I guess my question is what do you folks use and
why? Incidently, I have used the Allstate Platinum Elite Plan because I
thought it was the best side-by-side comparison of plans, though it should
be for the price they charge...

Thanks for any thoughts, DW
