Roadside Assistance for Paying Reasonable Towing Charges if Your Car is Disabled

Roadside Service Plans Breakdown Coverage Older Cars


You can spend $250 for or more for a tow, $65 for a jump-start or for a locksmith to open the car door, if you don’t already have some kind of roadside assistance membership. When your car breaks down it is unlikely you will be able or want to shop around for the lowest price.

Avoid getting gouged by purchasing some sort of roadside assistance membership. The membership program you are probably most familiar with is AAA but this is not always the cheapest option. A basic AAA membership (aaa.com) costs from $38.00 to 80.00 and entitles you to at least four roadside service calls, including tows, tire changes, battery boosts and lockouts. That comes out to about $20.00 per breakdown which is pretty cheap price for peace of mind.

Smart Bargains Discount Codes

Online Coupon Smart Bargains

Here is a great list of smart bargains discount codes that I got from Family Circle Magazine. If these codes fail to provide a bargain, the article suggested you Google to see if anyone out there is offering a code – for example “discount code Staples”.

PromotionalCodes.com – Thousands of codes for popular retailers, many of them originally uploaded by customers who received them by e-mail or snail mail.

FreeShipping.org - Hefty shipping charges can scotch an otherwise excellent deal. Look for merchants who ship gratis or rustle up a code for the order already in your cart.
