I have to put in a good word for AAA here too. I was towed this
past weekend from Harrisburg PA (107 miles). We have the plus
membership, so the tow cost us only $14 (100 miles free, $2.00
per mile after). I have also taken advantage of their free
travellers cheques (once in foreign currency), and the tour
books and maps are a big help. I don't know if we have gotten
our money's worth, but life certainly was easy when we broke down.
Of course, the toll-free AAA number was busy, so we had to call
the number of our local chapter and get transferred.
It was the only bad part of the incident.
