- Good timing. I just got a renewal notice from Canadian Tire.
- Quiying
- there should be a code?
- Gmax
- Is it valid in the US?
- actng
- how do i sign up ? can i do it online?
  
  this is cheaper than $84+HST for CAA Plus.

- Seriously, throw a $100 bill behind your drivers license in your wallet and only use it for emergencies. CAA and any other road-side assistance plan is a waste of money. How often do you need your car towed? I've been driving for 12 years and I haven't had to have it towed once. At $100, even if you have to get your car towed once every 5 years, that's $500. A tow is no more than $150-$200 tops. I realize that they come with some "extras" but how often do you use those?
  
  CAA is marginally a good deal if you abuse the hell outta their travel books, but even then those have been replaced by GPSs and the internet.

  I'm curious about the same. I looked in the handbook and only in one spot does it talk about the USA. I would think that it covers it.
  
  I just looked at Alberta flyer and it's on sale too.

  I will be going on a year long trip with my 1978 campervan and due to it's questionable reliability, I will be buying that. And with a free oil change we're getting close to $50/year for the membership.

- I'm just about to renew with CAA but this is pretty good.
  I wonder how much for two vehicles under one household.

  $100 will get you a tow for about... 3 meters.
  
  So your $500 for 5 yrs will get you about 15 meters. My driveway is longer than that.

  I got towed 8km for $50, really towning isnt that expensive outside.
- nik707
- Towing is roughly $3 per km + some additional admin-like charges
  
  Been driving for 5 yrs as well, never got towed even though driving older cars.
  
  Deal is pretty sweet...might use it as a gift for someone else driving a clunker
- b1unt3d
- I would never take my car to Canadian Tire for any type of maintenance. Either way, I think $80 for AMA service seems pretty reasonable. It's not just towing. Ever lock your keys in your car? Run out of gas? Car battery die? Get your car stuck? etc.

- It's been stated before but just remember CAA covers the person where as Canadian Tire only covers the car. I rather pay the extra for coverage anywhere, no matter what vehicle I'm in

  I find driver coverage better than car coverage.

  IMO collision towing and breakdown towing are 2 different things.

  Depends on your situation.
  In my case I and my wife drive the same car. So CT is better option than CAA. If you drive more than one car then, CAA might be better.

- Out of my own experience , CT road assistance is contracted out , they don't have their own operators.
  Last time I needed a tow I had to wait 3-4 hours in a cold October day , I caught a cold too , while the CT operator
  was keep reassuring me that wait time is 45 minutes. Turns out that the independent operator waited out
  to do more jobs before taking mine.
  I called CT to complain about this , they said it was a busy day , I called bs on that because the roads where clear , no rain no snow that day just a really cold sunny day and my car broke inside the city close to hwy so easy to get to, to that they said we're sorry not our fault.... so I NEVER went back to this kind of company.

  i experienced with CAA and CT is new for me too BUT CAA is contracted out also caused i spoke with the towed truck driver all the GTA area are contracted out doesn't matter CAA or CT or Costco if they are BUSY they will contact other tow truck company to "pick up free cash", all towed truck company are contracted out...... lol i think is luck and traffic also...

- you are basically buying luck! with $30 oil change? i think is worth it? you do save a lot

  You do not need your car to tow to CT. You can tow it anywhere up to 250KM.
