Roadside help: AAA vs others? (NAC)

Fri Jun 6 13:29:37 EDT 2003

I just discovered that my CAA (Canadian) membership expired.  I'd be
happier about driving my car long distances with some kind of roadside
assistance, and I assume most everyone on this list has some sort of
coverage thing.

Is AAA the company of choice?  I've seen other programs, from credit
cards to car insurance to car companies...  does anyone have specific
advice?  AAA is nice for its ubiquity and for the maps, I know, but I
haven't compared it to any of the others.

Recommendations?  Or is it more effective just to email The List from
the middle of nowhere and ask for a ride?  ;)

Cheers!
-Ben
