My car insurance company will only cover 5 miles of towing for free and sadly, my mechanic lives further away. So I have to pay by the mile (no more than 3.75 per mile) for anything over 5. Before I called today, I googled the distance between my house and the mechanic.
Of course, I looked at this and calculated how much it would cost to tow my car up Aurelius, costing me the least amount of money. Seems reasonable, right? Then the tow company called to let me know they were on the way and that only 5 was covered and I said taking Aurelius would only be 8 miles…then he hemmed and hawed and told me that they couldn’t take that route. Something about trucks not allowed on all of that road. I have no idea if that’s true or not but it felt like a story.
So he said he’d figure out the mileage before he came over. Wanna bet that it’s going to be the 12 mile version?
EDIT: Yup. 12 miles for $28. Lovely.
