Yes, that's probably so. I believe to get AAA+ you need to be a regular member in good standing for a year. It's also a bit more expensive, perhaps half again as much but it's well worth it as it also includes free lock-out service where instead of just getting you in (fine if you simply left your keys in the ignition) they will make you a new set of keys (around $70 in my case) or simply reimburse you for any expenses incurred if you keep receipts plus a lot of other benefits over the normal membership. You might try calling them to see if you can get in sooner. -Tolga >Tolga Morawski wrote: >> invest in AAA+ >> (100miles free towing and $2 mile after) and a car insurance with a >> breakdown rental provision.
