Anyone have experience with this company? I been looking at them due to the fact they offer a 100 mile tow and I do not want to buy AAA because i would have to wait 6 months in order to buy the 100 mile tow package. Most importantly BWC is only $100 for the year

The big thing for me is they allow to be towed home or to a shop but no matter what I will have it towed to home. Also I always daily my c5 when its working and never know how far I will be from home since I drive all over.

Never heard of that company. Have you checked with your auto insurance company about emergency road service on your policy? It is fairly cheap, but the tow distance may vary by the insurance company.

RV Roadhelp. It's part of AllState. $80 per year, unlimited tows and unlimited mileage. I've used them twice this year with no troubles, both times for the C5 (once for a flat tire, and once because a caliper bolt backed out on the street).

They also give you a second household member free, and will tow you to your house (both times that's what I had them do).

Looks good but oten the small prints taketh the big prints away:

"*** Fuel cost is not included; towing at no cost back to the service provider we send or to any destination you choose up to your benefit limit."

Just make sure to ask about the towing if you're stuck far from home. Do they tow you to the garage who comes to tow you or can you choose your towing destination? Also what is your benefit limit. Make sure you get that info in writing in your contract.

Both times I've used them they've towed straight to my driveway with no fuel costs. That must be new.

I tried calling the number when I click join now which turned out to be an AllState # and they didn't have a clue about this plan.

Looks like the link is done by KOA but I cant even find any information on this site you provided nor any info from KOA.com

Try that link and number. I literally just used it yesterday (also, the motor in my car is toast - unrelated) LOL

EDIT: Yes, it's part of Allstate. I just looked back at my email I got from them when I signed up, too.

yep thats the site they talked about. However the tow coverage is based on cost and not mileage.

I will have to skip on this company as mileage is more important because the cost of a tow is insane in my area.

Ended up subscribing to BWC and confirmed the 100 mile tow to my home or shop and no out of pocket cost for a tow. Paid $112 for the year and so far this seems to be the best deal out there as the tow is based off of 100 mile and not cost.

Again California tows are much more costly than other states and varies by city.

I drive all over Socal in my Corvette
