Default Better World Club INSTEAD of AAA?

Anyone here signed up w/ the Better World Club or have used them in the past? They're a competitor to AAA. And as AAA's rates keep going up (now $110), Better World Club is $89/yr.

So I'm thinking of dropping AAA for BWC and thought I'd get some feedback first.

BWC details HERE

Did AAA say why they are increasing price??

My family has AAA.

As far as I know they did NOT improve service or do anything for us in the past 10 years.

No reason to charge more imo.

You sure you did not mistake the "upgrade" offers to AAA Plus, and think that was membership price hike?

I noticed they have been sending upgrade offers the last couple of months.

I see signs for AAA all over the place. I have never even heard of BWC.

Make sure you get the OEM endorsement.
In the end it doesn't really matter who you have, just make sure you know what you've signed up for, compare coverages, deductible, endorsements (rental and roadside assistance for instance is not considered standard in insurance circles for "fully" covered vehicles). Customer service is goign to be really subjective since most consumers don't know what they've signed up for, in the end it comes down to who has the best rates, it's really is like commodity shopping. I don't even carry insurance with teh company I work for. Most folks I know who have AAA like them, but the rates is what scares off most.
