Well it seems AAA is the only thing this list can agree on. Up until last year I had the standard AAA then my wife and I got stranded on the freeway some 60+ miles from home in our '72 Beetle Convertible and had to get towed back. Fortunately, my wife's parents had AAA+, which they rarely use, and the tow driver was cool enough to let us use theirs so we wouldn't accrue any added tow costs. The next day I bumped us up to AAA+.

For the 100 mile towing on AAA, you have to buy the "RV Plus" coverage. I highly endorse this product. AAA ALWAYS pays for itself. Even if you don't use it one year, you'll use it twice or three times the next. For two driver coverage, I think I pay around $120 per year. Two thirds of that is for the first driver, and about a third for the additional driver. Last year I had a water pump seize up in the middle of nowhere, and the tow was 99.6 miles back to home. That would have been a $300 tow bill. These tow drivers are usually very glad to have the long tows, and even if you are going over 100 miles may cut you some slack on the overage.
