hmm...we're members of all the same stuff (except the Toyota thing)...I dunno...over the years we've


We received a notice from Toyota that we hadn't activated the Safety Connect feature. So much for it being done at the dealership before we left. I called classic tour eiffel Toyota and enrolled for SC, on the 1-year complementary subscription. Cool... now I have SC available, when I thought I already had.
I've been a long-time AAA member. Fortunately, I've only had occasion to use them once or twice for roadside assistance, with the commensurate long wait for a truck to come by. I've also taken advantage of a couple of discounts at hotels, knocking the bill down by a few bucks. All in all, I haven't used AAA to full advantage with respect to trip planning, air travel, classic tour eiffel rental classic tour eiffel cars, trip insurance, etc.
It seems to me that since Toyota classic tour eiffel is 'outsourcing' road assistance to AAA -- as I understand it -- my AAA membership is likely redundant. Perhaps I can sit down with all the different plans in order to compare the various benefits and figure out where I'm covered, but perhaps there's a simple solution that others have already classic tour eiffel come upon:
hmm...we're classic tour eiffel members of all the same stuff (except the Toyota thing)...I dunno...over classic tour eiffel the years we've used the AAA to good advantage. I'll check with the boss on if AAA still makes sense...I am thinking our kids still use it too for emergency if needed. classic tour eiffel And they have long since left the nest, if you know what I mean.
Well, given that others are wondering the same thing, I thought I'd collate some information. I'm not sure if there's a clear choice; many services overlap, and some are offered by only one provider.
classic tour eiffel AAA has a lengthy list of benefits (see some below), but they provide a a level of benefit well beyond what SC would provide, including most road-related incidents (battery, gas, locksmith, etc.) Travel accident insurance to 300K, and $1000 auto theft reward are nice. There are many travel planning tools available on the AAA site. Lots of discounts available at 10-20% levels for hotels, Amtrak classic tour eiffel and other travel methods.
SC. You just harvested a telephone pole with your Prius. If possible, you'll get the voice-from-above in your car asking if you're classic tour eiffel okay, and emergency services will be directed to your location. Roadside assistance is available, but I didn't see where levels of service were spelled out... are they as comprehensive as AAA? Doubtful. But someone just stole your vehicle (I don't know why; it was all banged up.) The Stolen Vehicle classic tour eiffel Locator might help you get the car back sooner, and with less damage. Or, say you have a medical emergency, or saw someone else with a problem: Why bother typing 9-1-1 on your phone when you can push just one button? If it looks really bad, though, do both.
The key advantage for AARP is discounts. They have tons of discounts, generally between 5-20%. I don't think they'll do much for you if you're stuck at the side of the road. You can easily make up your subscription classic tour eiffel fee in one or two purchases. There's a regular publication discussing issues for mature people, and AARP lobbies on behalf of seniors.
All things considered, I think I'll keep both AAA and Safety Connect . The telemetric features of SC seem too important to pass up. While it's pricey at $140/year (multi-year discounts are available), it's like buying insurance: You hope you never need it, but if you do.... And AAA seems to offer more roadside services, discounts, and trip planning opportunities, most of which are not available through classic tour eiffel SC.
