[Canadian Tire] 30% off Canadian Tire Gold Roadside Assistance $70 Primary or $119 with Secondary

Copying this thread summary to note the differences between CAA and Canadian Tire, other than price, which is totally dependent on your choice of product and current specials.

1. CAA covers the MEMBER in any car. (edit to add that I think NEO has a family plan, but unsure of the details) Cnd Tire covers EITHER the member OR the car, depending on what you choose at set up. This cannot be changed for the year, as far as I know.

2. CAA will tow you anywhere. Cnd Tire will tow you anywhere BUT a tow to their shop will not count as one of your service calls. if you regularly use them for service then that's a plus. One thing to note is that they will not tow from a Cnd Tire shop to another if you decide the cost of repair is too high. Technically CAA doesn't tow from one garage to another either, but it has been done.

3. For both - Any call out is a service call, not just tows. So a door unlock, battery boost, etc. all use up a service call. If you need a boost and it doesn't work so they have to tow you, that's one service call.

4. Some CAA memberships include replacement keys, travel insurance, etc. No clue on Cnd Tire.

5. If you live in the south Central Ontario region, both of them contract out to tow companies, so your service experience will largely be based on the tow companies in your area. Some CAA clubs (Niagara for sure) may have their own fleets.

6. If you are a Canadian Tire World Elite mastercard holder, you get a FREE gold membership. Not sure if you're offered the vehicle or member option. Important to note that you can't add on any family members to that plan, even at a cost and even if they have supplemental cards. Only the primary card holder gets the free membership and it's stand alone.

7. CAA pricing and specials available vary by each club, so your location may not offer what the OP posted. Cnd Tire specials are national.
