Roadside Assistance

Speaking of cars, does anyone here have roadside assistance? If so, who do you have it with? I used to have AAA and I let it expire but I'm not sure why. DH is a former mechanic but my commute is almost 90 miles roundtrip daily and I can't rely on him to drop everything and drive what could be way out of his way to help. Believe it or not, I know how to change a tire, but frankly, I'd rather someone else do it.

Thanks!

I have it with Geico...even though i know how to change a tire no problem...why bother if they will come and do it and I don't have to get dirty!!!

I have AAA My FH has a Mazda and he has it with them. He slid off the road and hit the curb in the snow and they towed it for free Free is good. plus they give u gas if u run out knock on wood I havent yet but my civic doesnt have a gas light

I had it with VW...but it only covered me for 2 years...just make sure to check on how long he gets it

As you read this, know that I now have my coverage with GEICO and am a big fan of their product...but something happened with DH's policy that I think is worth sharing.

Before DH and I were married, he had GEICO and used their roadside assistance a few times. After we were married, I called our agent to modify my policy to add him on (I had a different ins. co then). She ran a report on him and it showed a whole bunch of claims! She asked me if he had been in a bunch of accidents and I told her no....when I showed him the report, he said they were all the times he used GEICOs road side assistance. She was then able to explain it to my carrier - b/c they wanted to jack up my premium big time because he had so many insurance 'claims'!

I never thought about it before...and GEICO definately didn't explain this to him when he had his policy. I've maintained an AAA membership for us since then. Thankfully, we haven't needed it but I know its there...and I know it won't show up on my insurance report.
