Coachnet

[down_home]

We had both Good Sams and Coachnet, for some reason for a long time.
Let the lapse due to not using it for a while.
Good Sams couldn't find us service once but we used Coachnet several times.
Wife looked up the cost last night. She says it is 179.00 for towable, and 279.00 for coach.
Is this right?
We were paying 69.00-79.00 a year.
Thats a good bit more than Sams.

There's no way and we've never paid anywhere near that much. Cars come with it automatically and it's not the vehicles you're insuring anyway. It's you personally and others in your household, no matter what you're driving and who it might belong to.
Also, always call PPL for a coach-net subscription, rather than CN direct, for a nice savings.

As I stated earlier, I pay $139 and don't mind doing so for the coverage I have had. In addition to having coverage on my other vehicles, the service I have received is worth it. In the past 5-6 years, I have had an issue with my previous coach 3 times while out of state, requiring an RV tech to respond. Twice I was in an area that I didn't think they would find someone, but they did. On each occasion, they located an RV tech to come to my location and they paid for the service call. Additionally, I have gotten great tech support over the phone while trouble shooting issues myself.

My opinion is that is too much. I'd go with Good Sam and let the free market win. 🙂 Good Sam across the board is a great service.

OK - I just called them.

They *only* offer the Premium services to new members - $179 & $249. The renewals will be $50 cheaper per year. If you were with them before and were absent for more than 4 months you have to start as a new member.

Good Sam here we come...

My understanding is the less promoted almost secretive basic plan still exist.
It will tow both TV and RV if you need assistance. However it does not apply to other vehicles or other situations except RV AND TV together.
The basic rate was $79.00/year. I suggest calling and asking about the basic plan.

Looks like their prices changed somewhat lately.

We were going to sign up this year after skipping a year - but at these prices - $179 for Towable and $249 for Motorized - it's not going to happen.

So I went to the Good Sam website and looks like we have to join Good Sam as well as sign up for RV Roadside Assistance. Still way cheaper.

Just looked mine up joined/paid $233.00 for 3 years on 7/7/16 basic plan.

My CoachNet was $149 and it was a renew, not a new policy.

I have coachnet (came free with new tt, expired after one year). Got a renewal for $129 (premier towable).
Seems to me in your case you are a renewing member, not a new one, since you had coverage in the past. And that would be what I would tell them to get the discounted rate.

I received a better price from Good Sam for a 3 year contract. Both Coach Net and Good Sam use contract service providers. Service will only be as good as the location and the provider. We were left on our own by CoachNet, which is why we have Good Sam. In my opinion your paying for a phone tree, so price matters.

I would have to try and find my cc statement but I don't think I paid any where near that much last year for three years of coach net

[midnightsadie]

on this site coach net seems to have a good reputation.call them and ask.

I just renewed Coach Net yesterday and my cost was $149. That was for the premium plan. Have had them since 2005. Prior to that I had Good Sams and they couldn't find help for me twice. Both times I found help myself and that is when I dropped them!
