We do an AARP, 3 times use. 100 mile towing coverage. Brought out a flatbed for daughters car and towed it maybe 60 miles to a mechanic bud, 1 hour or less response time.

the cost for the jump start was $68 with credit card, $65 cash- insurance notified me  
they paid the contracted roadside assistance company about $115 even though I had cancelled the service and the towing company never showed up-
