Alternatives to traditional auto clubs

Clark has been a member of AAA since the early ‘70s. It’s been a good value because he travels so much. Clark gets more maps and routing services than he can count. But in terms of towing and road service, he hasn’t gotten his money’s worth. He’s needed the towing service maybe three or four times in the 40 years he’s been a member. If you think you’re spending too much on your motor club, there are now more options out there. Trade associations and youth groups are now starting to market their own motor clubs. The warehouse clubs also offer towing services for about $15 a month. And, you may be able to add a rider to your auto insurance for as little as $5 or $10 a year. Think about the last time you needed a tow and decide if it’s worth it to spend the money.

This week's poll
The high cost of jet fuel has a lot of people staying at home this summer instead of traveling. Is there a "staycation" in your immediate future?
Yes, I just can't afford a plane ticket and/or hotel room right now.
No, I've saved up all year just to get away for a bit.
Maybe, I have to wait and see how my finances pan out.
