I currently have Coach-Net and it is due for renewal for $99. I also received an email from FMCA for similar coverage for $69. I'm not aware of any significant difference between the two carriers.

Any suggestions?

No significant differences I can see (except the $30), but your are getting a bargain on the C-N renewal at $99. The cheapest new towable plan is $179 and the cheapest motorhome plan is $249. Make sure the $99 offer is real and the the renewal does indeed provide all the expected benefits.

I thought I read that the Coach Net renewals will stay at the old price and new customers pay the new price. I want to hear some actual real life accounts of the new FMCA service before making a decision on changing.

I recently renewed with C-N and they gave me the old $99 price, too.

FMCA wasn’t promoting their service then or I might have switched.

I have had Coachnet for many years, used them five times, service could not have been better. Nothing bad about FMCA, I am a member, just coachnet has exceeded my expectations.

I've had Coach Net for a couple of years. 1st year was $249, but renewal was much less (I think $139 with an early pay discount). I'm curious to see if the rate goes down with year 3. But, I'm also curious if the FMCA plan is equivalent to Coach Net, or if it's like Coach Net Lite.

I've been using Coach-Net for 9 years and used them 5 times. I couldn't be happier with them. When you have a problem they stay right on top of it and call frequently to make sure your problems are being resolved. Kudos!

My wife (CFO and COO

) went to the FMCA “road service” presentation at the March rally in Perry, and signed us up there as she was very impressed with what she heard, given the experience of the people that run the FMCA program. We will be letting Coachnet expire.

I don’t recall all the details, but I fully agreed with her assemsement after she explained it to me.

I plan to switch to FMCA when my Good Sam is out!

Was a Coach-Net member for several years. I missed to renew. They had/have no renewal reminders or auto pay program. Called about ten days past and they would only restart as a new member - for the new rate of $249.00. This irked me, to say the least...

Instead moved to FMCA at $69/year for three years.

Have had location to use the FMCA ERS for both the motorhome and car. Goid service.

I too switched to FMCA roadside assistance last year after hearing the presentation at a regional rally, even though the presentation at the time was a little rough around the edges as the plan had just been introduced a week or so before.

What have I missed? $69 with Coach Net for 3 renewal years now, since it was free first year buying a new coach. Normally $79. Since I'm an over service type person, haven't had to use their service, and towing can be hundreds. Cheap insurance.
