Maybe, if all you have is the Benz and that is all anybody drives. AAA allows you to have any vehicle covered as well as any idiot in the household. I could rack up all sorts of $100 services on Froggy, but then SWMBA would be out in the dark in her korean car. Would it also cover cars that had not taken a visit to the stealership? The blowout I had on I-5 last fall would have been great to get the local stealer to cover, as I crapped out alongside his lot. AAA took almost and hour to arrive to swap out the wheel. Some criminal had absconded with my lug wrench. Maybe stealer would have been able to get there in five minutes.
As for other house members, AAA covers the kid and any car he happens to be driving while away at university. Out in the depths of Montana, a 100 mile tow is pretty handy. When SWMBA has her battery poop out, or gets a flat, AAA is there, where MBUSA would not be. When MB used to allow us to use the service, I ended up with AAA anyway. clay On Feb 13, 2013, at 4:25 AM, Dan Penoff wrote: > Consider that you are more or less buying an insurance policy with AAA.
