AAA
Anyone here use it? Is it worth the fee? Tried to find promo codes for discounts but yet to find one that will work for Ohio.
Thanks |

I've had AAA coverage as long as I've been driving, and think it's well worth it. One tow will pay for a year's dues, plus they have other benefits like free travel agency services and other similar discounts.

Same here. I've needed a jump or a tow or even some gas (bad fuel gauge) just about once every year.
It's good to review what they offer every now and then because you'll forget all the other stuff they offer members. |

Had them for 28 yrs. and never had a tow. Have walked out of there travel office and got better price on airline tickets. They make you pay the membership which adds to the cost of there insurance. Had a good agent that took care of me and when he retired I left and never looked back.

I've had AAA since the kids started driving 10 years ago. Well worth the peace of mine. My policy(maybe everybody's) the person is covered not the car. If my kid is riding in a friends car and needs AAA it's covered. Plus hotel/airline and other discounts just for showing your card.

Whats nice about it too is that the car you are in wheather you be a passanger or driver,that car is coverd as long as you are with it.
I have used it for travel brake downs and 2 years ago I was able to use AAA when I broke my GTO at the drag strip. Broke my t-400. They showed up with a rollback and off we went.

Had it for many a year until we had a bad experience with a tow of sons GTP.Called twice because they hadnt responded in 4 hrs and they charged us stating it was a clunker. Finally got it straightened out and told them I wasnt renewing. Now have towing and roadside assistance included in auto insurance for $5yr per car.

We have had AAA for years. Besides maps and towing I usually get all my notary work and license renewals. I may be crazy but having a person in front of you when doing notary is a lot easier,than trying to talk to someone in Harrisburg when you have a problem.Someone signed the title for my current SD in the wrong place(the car was dropped off).I have the car-girl said no problem..

Well worth it. It gives me and the wife peace of mind. Last month I used it twice in an hour. 1st car early morning to work and click a bad battery. Called AAA and had towed to the shop. Get in 2nd car and half way to work a guy hits me head on. AAA was called again and towed to the shop. Bought a used car about a year and a half ago and it had an inacurate fuel guage. I ran out of gas the 3rd day I had it. AAA brought gas to the side of the interstate for me and away I went.

I have been a member since 1968 (ex-mother-in-law Xmas present). That's 45 years of dues. Sure can't say I ever came close to getting my monies out of it. Before GPS and computers it was good for Trip-Tiks, maps and travel planing services. Used it only a couple times for lockout, dead battery and onece a tow home after I spun a rod bearing in my 1961 283-315HP Corvette at Dragway 42. Great for towing services, not sure how valuable the maps and trip planning stuf is anymore.

For the $85 bucks a year its worth it for me!
Its sure comes in handy when I'm out snowplowing out here in the boonies at 4am and get stuck/hi-centered while doing my thing. There is nobody around to pull me out or give me a tug so its AAA to the rescue. Also I never know if "sarge" has a flat at the mall or leaves her lights on and kills the battery and needs a jump............... Its worth it to me...............

For what it's worth I have been looking for a promo code but yet to find one for Ohio. But I did find that if you put in different zip codes in Ohio that I could buy it for $55.00. Now if they let me get away with this I don't know but we will see. I did put in my correct zip when entering my personal info when buying it so we will see.

AAA is for the policy holder and not the car. Even if you are riding as a passenger with grandma in her 1965 Rambler and it breaks down AAA will tow it as long as you are there.
