AAA has a newer service that covers 200 miles.

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!
