It pretty much depends. Let's say that you were driving around, even if your car was in great condition, sometimes these things happen. It's also late at night and you need a tow. You would need to search for the phone number for a private tow. And they do charge considerably more during the night. If you can't find a phone number, then you may be stuck. Sure you can buy maps but they too cost money. AAA gives you unlimited maps. : Or... Unless you get towed at least once, you've lost money. I gave up on : this when it was just $35. I had no idea it was so expensive now. This is : just a variant on the extended warranty scam, as far as I'm concerned. If : you can afford an expense, insuring yourself against it doesn't make sense.
