the kind of service you need? when something goes wrong on the road, some insurance companies even require you to find a towing service on your own, then pay up front for the help, and then file paperwork for reimbursement at a later date, just for a simple tow or a lockout. you see, not all roadside assistance plans are the same. some car manufacturers' plans come with a lot of limitations, making it very difficult to know what you're getting for what you paid. some plans are even free to join but then charge you every time you use the service, and many plans run out after a certain period of time. you may not realize you're no longer covered. on the other hand, aaa offers fast, reliable roadside assistance you can trust, and when you call aaa, a highly-trained technician will arrive to get you back on your way in no time. another big difference is that many roadside assistance plans offered by car manufacturers, or insurance companies' roadside assistance plans, only cover your car,

but aaa covers you, no matter what car, suv, or truck you may be in. that's right, the coverage goes with you. so, whether you're in a friend's car, a rental, or any car, you'll never be left stranded. as long as you're a aaa member and you've got one of these, you'll always know aaa is with you. with aaa, you can have confidence that when you call, the caring people of aaa will be there. you're backed by more than one hundred years of quality, reliable member service. aaa offers more than just a tow. aaa offers services for lockout, a flat tire, jump starting your vehicle, installing a new battery, and so much more, all to get you back on the road fast. wherever you go, wherever you are, you can always trust aaa to be there when you need them. ♪ >> the aaa membership for him gives us some safety feeling, i guess, that he can-- if anything happens,
