I think for all the years I've had CSAA, I've NEVER had a car towed. I have basic tow and if the one time I do need to tow over 5 miles, I don't think the charge would be enough to offset the some 20+ years I've been a member not paying the extra money for 200 mile. But I can see it being pretty valuable I guess, for our cars. I'm just odd that way.
