I also have USAA insurance and they are great. I have insured almost 60 vehicles with them over the years.

Regarding tow insurance - universally, tow insurance will tow to the closest qualified repair center or garage. But I discovered that, at least through USAA, I could apply my insurance to front-end part of the cost then I could cover the rest. When my 1987 Mercedes 420 SEL broke down in Birmingham AL., USAA covered initial cost plus cost per mile to the nearest full service station then I covered the cost per mile for the rest of the trip to my house. Instead of almost $600, the tow cost me $420. This might seem like a lot until you understand it was a 110 mile tow!

Thanks, Tom Hargrave

John,
I think you started this thread asking about USAA insurance for your van before it wandered off into AAA land.
I have insured my vehicles, vanagons and non-vanagons, for over 30 years with USAA.  No one has ever been able to beat them in price, and IMHO, service as well.
Cheers, Ant in NE FL

It's that time again. Has anyone dealt with USAA? Got any other recommends?

I need a tow policy as well. What I've seen so far sucks! What good is a tow if they don't tow you where you NEED to go, versus where they want to take you. At some shops I wouldn't let them touch my van. They don't know what they are doing and they aren't to learn on my dime!
