Might not be as good as AAA+ and what do you do when there isnt service? Or if your cell phone is dead?
It's nearly impossible to not have signal with Verizon.
Also how are you gonna call for AAA ? If you find a payphone, you can conntact Verizon Road Side Assistance with it as well
I have no problem finding areas with no signal from Verizon. I live in a hilly region. (western NY)
Anyway - whether AAA is worth it or not depends on your lifestyle. I think that for the typical person, it's far from worth it. If you travel far from home frequently (and alone) then it may not be a bad idea.
(hint: AAA doesn't have a business model of *NOT* making money. How could they make a profit if it was really worth it to everyone?) If you need towing more than once every 3 or 4 years, you need to
a. do a better job picking out cars
b. get gas before you run out - not an excuse for towing.
c. don't leave your lights on - but a dead battery also isn't an excuse for towing
or else you have some pretty crappy luck.
Maps? People need maps?! And they're connected to the internet? Helloooo.
Hotel discounts?! Ever heard of priceline, hotels.com, etc. ?! Got internet access?
Again, hellooooo. I think the AAA rates are far more than what I've paid.
