I have the AAA premium and just used it for the first time to tow my Westy
home 140 miles. That used the one annual 200 mile tow I'm allotted. That
was a Sunday. The very next day I had it towed with AAA 75 miles to the
shop where I wanted the work done. I thoight there would be some sort of
waiting period in between tows but the representative assured me there
wasn't and gladly took my info down to schedule this one.

I am very happy with their service... Although I am considering carrying a
second service in case i need it for some reason. The $100 a year or
whatever it may be might be well worth it
