AARP ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WON'T PAY MY TOW . NO AUTHORIZATION 3 WHY? THEY NEVER ANSWERED THE PHONE HAD TO CALL 911 STATE POLICE HELPED MEGRV CAROL STREAM, Illinois

Forget AARP and their supposed "roadside assistance".. called the 800 number.  no answer.  11:00 at night I am stranded on the expressway!  Now they won't pay the $80.00 tow because "no authorization number".  How do you get an authorization number when the operators are sleeping????????Called 911.  They connected me to the State Police who gave me the number to the 24-7 tow service near my area,who is probably who AARP would have recommended had they answered their phone.  What a joke!  Don't buy this service.. I am a senior on a fixed income and was totally scared by myself at night on the expressway.  Thought AARP would be good for me.  Found out different.  Avoid AARP.
