I think it much lower cost than that. I know that we just added
each of our college age kids to our AAA "card" for something like
$18 each - my son recently had his car break down, and it cost
him (and ultimately me) $40 to have his car towed about 1 mile.
I've also had to make the 4 hour trip to his place to help him
fix his car before... 8-(
One other great advantage of the AAA card is the discounts you
can get. We always ask for the AAA rate at hotels when we
travel - one cross country trip paid for the card after two
nights. My wife even got a discount card a the "Outlet Mall"
recently. Good for 15-20% discounts at most of the stores...
After many, many years of not thinking AAA was worth it, I've
changed my mind (especially with my son's fixer-upper-car).
I don't, however, use AAA insurance...
