Had an awful experience on last Saturday where my 22 years old car alternator died on a busy road..
Called the insurer and to my surprise, no free towing despite emphasizing I wanted a towing service tied to the insurance..
Paid rm150 for towing service to the workshop.
I read that AAM does not cover cars exceeding 20 years..
Apart from this, is there anymore options to consider..

Why joined AAM then? Should terminate and use other insurance and ask if tow service provided regardless car age.
Last time got news that AAM having trouble paying salary for its staff. I though they close shop already. Nowadays insurance company provided road assist as well making the AAM core business redundant

dunno about other insurance co, but AIG does include towing service for my 20yrs old car, on 3rd party with theft and fire coverage. But limited to 150km range, which is exceedingly enough.

Don’t waste time with AAM.
My insurance Kurnia has unlimited towing for any year as long within 600km distance from KV. The cost? Additional RM 98.

Don't waste time with agents. Go direct to MyEG instead. They can do everything under 1 roof. Can pay via CC or DC too.

AAM is a fraud. Once my car broke down, called AAM, no one answer and 45 mins later, someone picked up. Guess what? We have no tow truck now.
So called my insurance and got the towing service for RM 150. Mine also >20 years no towing service. Lonpac.
