And this has been my problem with all these auto "clubs". The nearest "qualified facility" may be simply a gas station that does repairs. I had this issue 3 years ago with my daughters New Beetle. It broke down in Newport News Virginia (where she attends college) and I wanted it towed to her dorm parking lot, about 9 miles away. Despite having 100 mile towing through Good Sam, the tow truck driver wanted to take it to the nearest gas station that did repairs. He refused to tow it more than 3 miles, anything over was extra $$$. I ended up paying the extra, and complained to Good Sam, who could not have cared less. End of Good Sam and on to AAA. Recently tried to use AAA, basic towing was 3 miles and $4.00/mile after that. Girlfriends ATT Auto Service was 3 miles and $3.00/mile after that. My AAA membership is up the end of March and I'll bve giving them the boot too.

The towing plan for the RV which also includes the family vehicles is only
about $100/year. They tow to the nearest qualified facility, not a preset
mileage. It is worth looking into.
