Here is the web site of the group the NMA uses:
http://www.driversshieldautoclub.com
Normal cost is $69.95 but NMA members get it for $49.95. From
what I have been able to determine, the main difference appears
to be that the DriverShield program specifies a dollar amount
per incident ($100) whereas AAA does it in miles (5 miles for
standard, 100 miles for RV). I suspect that $100 is basically
comparable to the 5 miles for the AAA program. Being out in
the boonies, 5 miles is basically "next door"; you have to go
10-15 miles just to get to the nearest town. That's the main
reason I decided to stick with the AAA/RV program; I should
think a tow of 100 miles is going to cost a lot more than $100. :-)
Also, with the AAA/RV program, I know both my tow vehicle and
trailer are covered, and my motorcycle too. I'm not sure how
DriverShield handles that stuff. Perhaps if DriverShield comes
up with a competing program to the AAA/RV, I will give them another
look see, but for now it seems like my requirements dictate that
I stick with the AAA for now.
