Had a bit of an adventure last night... driving home from visiting family up near Concord, my car decided it was the perfect time to just stop working. Middle of nowhere, pitch dark, and of course my phone battery was at like 12%. Classic me, right? Anyway, I ended up calling a friend who thankfully picked up and bailed me out, but it got me thinking—I really need to get some kind of roadside assistance coverage or something. I've heard mixed things about AAA lately, and I'm not sure if there are better local options around here or maybe through insurance companies.
Curious if anyone else has had a similar experience around NH and what service you ended up using. Was it worth it or did you regret signing up? I'm all ears because I definitely don't wanna repeat last night's little fiasco anytime soon...
I've had AAA for years and honestly, it's been a lifesaver a couple times when my old Mustang decided to pull a stunt like yours did. Sure, they're not perfect, but peace of mind counts for a lot—especially driving around NH backroads at night...
AAA definitely has its perks, especially if you're driving something older or prone to surprises. I've heard mixed things about their response times though—guess it depends on where you are and the time of day. A buddy of mine swears by his insurance company's roadside assistance because it's bundled into his policy and cheaper overall. Personally, I've been lucky enough not to need it yet (knock on wood), but as someone still getting comfortable behind the wheel, I'm thinking I should probably have something lined up sooner rather than later.
Quick question for those who've tried both AAA and insurance-bundled roadside: is there a noticeable difference in reliability or coverage? I'm mostly driving around suburban areas, but occasionally hit rural roads visiting family...would hate to find out the hard way that one service doesn't cover certain areas or situations.
"AAA definitely has its perks, especially if you're driving something older or prone to surprises."
Agree with this—AAA's been solid for me in suburban areas, but response gets dicey further out. Insurance-bundled seems hit-or-miss. Wondering, does anyone know if AAA covers towing from unpaved roads or private property?
Insurance-bundled seems hit-or-miss.
AAA usually covers towing from private property, but unpaved roads can be tricky—depends on how accessible the spot is. I'd recommend checking your specific membership details or calling them directly to clarify coverage limits. Better safe than sorry...
