Good Sam theoretically covers all vehicles.
All the services deliver service at the whim of the local contractor, but
my problem with Good Sam was with Good Sam more than the provider.
A few years ago, I spent the evening catching up with GMCnet because I'd
run out of gas on the ramp from I-295 to the Capital Beltway. There was a
wide shoulder on the inside of the curve, so I was never really in danger
(except that it was in an elevated-risk part of town). Good Sam could not
resolve my location--they had no way to enter a ramp. They were unable to
transmit verbal instructions to the provider. They insisted I was in DC,
but I was in Maryland. I could provide lat-long coordinates, but their
system couldn't find an address at that location (freeway ramps don't have
addresses) and they wouldn't use it.

After four hours, the state's courtesy patrol brought me a gallon of gas.
Yes, I was driving home from DOT Headquarters in DC, and it's a little
embarrassing for a Federal Highway Administration employee to call for
courtesy vehicle aid, but my head was full of the meeting I'd had that day
and wasn't paying attention to the gas gauge.
Even though I know that any of the providers could have screwed up just as
badly on any given occasion, I dropped Good Sam and went with FMCA when I
renewed. I also have Allstate coverage.
