$70 per incident? I have an '07 and an '09 and I wouldn't think of a plan like that. I pay $100 for both cars. Long distance towing included. For the extra few bucks I sleep better.
Just goes to show how there's no one solution for all. I sleep better knowing I'm not wasting money. I've used assistance no more than 3X in over 10 yrs. At 50 bucks a pop x 10 yrs would pay $500. At 70 bucks a pop x 3 would pay $210.

 

Ever lock your keys in the car in New Haven, CT on a Sunday? That's going to set you back a lot more than $50.

Nope. Tryin to think if I've ever locked my keys in. Maybe once 25 yrs ago. I'm fairly prudent at not doing that. But never been to CT. Smiley Happy

Somehow I think the cost of ownership for my 2002 Town Car without ONSTAR and with a roadside plan is a whole lot lower that it would be for a new Cadillac with ONSTAR.

The point of a roadside plan is to protect you pocket against the unexpected emergency.

And why would I subject my cherry TC to that? Combined MPG = 17, the car barely qualifies.

The devil is in the details. Most CC roadside plans stink. I use a plan offered through AARP - and not the base plan either. You need a very good roadside plan if you live in Florida - a breakdown could be deadly, specially in summer!

It wasn't so neat in winter either... (December 2008) Just east of Tallahassee, 5 days and 7K+ later.......  Smiley Sad  Oh well....  Gonna drive that puppy til the wheels fall off!
