When tire trouble stops you on the road, one of the best thingsto have is the number of an auto club.
For an annual fee averaging about $50, the emergency roadservice offered by auto clubs not only brings peace of mind, it's awise investment.
Most clubs operate through a central telephone number thatdrivers can call in case of a flat tire, accident or other carproblems. Assistance is then dispatched in the form of a tow truckor other emergency assistance vehicle, and if necessary the car istowed to a garage or to the driver's home.
There are a wide variety of auto clubs and emergency roadservice plans available, at prices ranging from $21 to $80. Here aresome things to keep in mind when shopping for an auto club: Do you have choice of where your car can be towed or does it have tobe taken to a particular garage? What is covered under the plan - are only specific cars covered ordoes the plan apply to any car the member happens to be driving? Are there any mileage limitations on the towing area? How large is the fleet of emergency road vehicles? - Chicago Sun-Times wires
