Roadside Assistance | Compare Allstate Motor Club to Better World Club

Compare All American Roadside Assistance (AARA) to Better World Club (BWC)

Facts:
BWC provides nationwide 24-hour emergency roadside assistance including towing, lockout and flat tire assistance, jumpstarts, gas and fuel delivery, and covers you in any vehicle. BWC is NOT a reimbursement program. You pay a one-time annual membership fee and all services are covered up to your benefit limit. See more about our auto club.

Unlike Better World Club, All American Roadside does not offer mileage-based coverage, instead offering towing service up to $100. To estimate a comparison to Better World Club coverage, $100 could a cover a 5 mile service in areas with moderate or high cost-of-living (California, New York, etc), and closer 10 or 15 miles in other areas of the country. Also, with identity theft a real danger in today's world, it is of high importance to ensure you only enter credit card details over a secure connection. Between Better World Club and All American Roadside, only BWC always provides you a verified and secure web-connection.
