If I rent a car and need roadside assistance, what is fastest and most ecomonical way to get the service – call the car rental company or my own AAA service?

All major car rental companies offer roadside assistance programs. Services such as towing, are usually free, while things such as help with a flat tire may have a cost unless you purchased an optional roadside assistance package at the time of rental. Depending on where you are and the service you need, you may find that calling AAA will be faster or may eliminate some costs. In the end, it’s often six of one, half dozen of the other, so do what feels most comfortable to you at the time.
