Roadside service plan

[Aleida]

Wie heeft een antwoord op de vraag of de Emergency Roadside Assistance van de AAA (daar kan je met je ANWB lidmaatschap gebruik van maken) voldoende is om de hiaten in de Alamo verzekering: lekke band, wegslepen, ruitschade e.d. op te vangen.
Of is het toch wenselijk om een Roadside Service Plan bij Alamo af te sluiten?
Alvast bedankt, Ada

Ruitschade zit bij geen van beide. Zelf zou ik gewoon gebruik maken van de AAA optie als je toch al ANWB lid bent. RSP bied je niets extra's en kost $4.99 per dag. Dat tikt aardig aan als je 3 weken op vakantie bent!

Met je ANWB lidmaatschap heb je recht op BASIC Emergency Roadside Assistance.

If visiting for 90 days or less, you are entitled to BASIC Emergency Roadside Assistance to include:

• Towing an eligible vehicle at least three (3) miles in any direction from point of disablement, or back to the responding facility, free of charge. Additional mileage charges will be at the member’s expense and will not exceed prevailing rates of the region. Towing shall be provided for light-duty trailers, excluding fifth wheel trailers, being towed at the time of disablement. At the Club’s discretion, members may be required to pay for towing the trailer.
  The vehicle will be extricated or winched when it can be safely reached from a normally traveled road or established thoroughfare. If special equipment, more than one truck, or more than one person is required, the associated cost may be at the member’s expense.
• Charges for flatbed service requested by members, when not required by the AAA Towing Manual, may be passed on to the member. Flatbed service charges are not applicable if a flatbed is required due to accident damage or if it is the contractor’s primary service vehicle.
• Mobile battery service/jump starting and/or temporary adjustments.
• Flat tire service including changing a flat tire when an inflated, serviceable spare is available.
• A limited supply of fuel will be delivered to a member’s disabled vehicle, enabling the member to reach the nearest service station. Members may be charged up to the current pump price for the fuel.
• Lockout and key service; If the key that operates or provides access to the passenger compartment of the vehicle is lost, broken, or the service provider cannot gain entry, the Club shall provide locksmith service up to $50, or reimbursement of commercial locksmith service up to $50. If necessary, the Club also will provide tow service. Members are entitled to up to $50 worth of locksmith service at the scene, exclusive of any charges for en-route mileage.

Roadside Plus bied het volgende:

• Key replacement: replacement keys or a locksmith will be sent
• Flat Tire: if the vehicle’s spare tire is installed and serviceable, it will be installed to replace a flat tire. If no inflated spare tire is available, the vehicle will be towed in accordance with the towing provision.
• Towing: Towing charges will be covered at no additional cost should the vehicle be inoperable.
• Jump start: A battery boost will be provided in an attempt to start the vehicle.
• Lockout service: If the keys are locked inside the vehicle, service will be sent to gain entrance.
• Fuel delivery: A limited supply of gasoline will be delivered to the vehicle to enable you to reach the nearest open service station. (Up to three gallons or equivalent litres).

Dank voor je reactie, jouw antwoord geeft voor ons de doorslag om geen Roadside Service Plan te nemen.
We hebben trouwens pas éénmaal pech gehad met een huurauto maar dat is natuurlijk geen enkele garantie en ik zal het snel afkloppen.
De kans dat je wel iets krijgt is iedere keer natuurlijk net zo groot.

Wij hebben 1x een lekke band gehad. Hebben deze toen zelf vervangen. Was voor ons de eerste keer maar met het boekje erbij en wat geduld kom je een heel eind. Daarna de auto omgeruild.
