New insurance policy doesn't have AutoClub. Is CAA any good (for Towing services)?

Our old insurance policy with Unifund had Autoclub as part of the package which included free towing services (with conditions of course), emergency road services, among other perks.

I'm thinking of signing up with CAA. Are there any other recommendations? I know the nice thing about CAA is that it's good for travellers frequening the US alot as it gives good discounts on certain things (i.e. car rental, motel rental).

Best i've seen for towing is:

CIBC Auto Club at 250 KM - it beats almost all autoclubs out there for range...except OEM packages that come standard with many vehicles like Hondas...

CIBC Auto Club (from experience) also offers similar discounts at hotels/motels (sometimes even better than CAA discounts!).

They also provide trip services like maps that are personalized.

CAA's details (3 tiered program):

By the way, where did you see the "up to 250km towing coverage?" I couldn't find it on the website. The only thing I found was "up to $200 coverage". it seems like CAA is the better deal for me because of a lower cost. The farthest distance I've had my car towed was about 10km, I just need basic service. Hmm...I don't know

I have CAA plus.... http://www.caasco.com/membership/options.jsp

200 km. towing, emergency gas, free maps, cheap movie tickets, pretty much my reason for joinging, in that order to!
