[V8] Moving my car?

[Ed Kellock]

I haven't replaced it with anything.  I have bought towing coverage on a
couple of my cars though.  With my insurance company, I can call their 800
number and they hook me up with a towing company.  Still, I haven't tested
it yet.


AAA is very different from state to state.  In California where I lived when
I first had it, you could actually do DMV stuff there, which was a godsend.
When I moved, I found that wasn't the case in every state... I've since
lived in TX, IA, SC, CO.

This gets me thinking; I haven't had AAA for a long time now, but had 
recently thought about joining again. Last time I looked at it a few months 
back, I remember thinking it was sort of goofy, because there was pretty 
large price discrepancy between signing up for AAA in Texas and AAA in 
Oregon (can't remember which one was higher, but one of them was 
significantly more costly).

So, for those who've left AAA, what do you use or recommend for emergency 
towing? I know my auto insurance company offers optional roadside 
assistance, but I've never bought it because I have this (maybe 
unreasonable) concern that when I really need it, I'll find out that there's

some oddball catch to the whole thing, and I'll be left sitting in the 
middle of nowhere, swearing at some call center rep.
