I kind of refer to myself as ‘the Queen of Locking her Keys in the Car’ and it’s not without warrant. I have embarrassingly done this way more times than I would like to admit and it always seems to happen at the very worst times. For instance, the time my brother who spent 3 months in the hospital after a car accident was ready to come home and I was honoured to be the one to pick him up and return him safely to the comforts of home. Yes, I was so excited, I somehow left the keys in the car and we ended up sitting in the parking lot for a good long while waiting for a friend to come to the rescue. Not the welcome home event I had planned, that’s for sure.
And now as a mom, I am still not immune to letting this happen. Just this summer, I ended up taking my sweater off and throwing it back into the car as we ran to our hair cut appointment, and you guessed it, I had shoved my keys in my sweater pocket! Being stranded with a 6, 4 and 3 year old is not a fun time! And Hubster didn’t think it was a whole lot of fun driving an hour to help us out and an hour straight back to work! I think both of us knew that this couldn’t happen again, we needed the help of CAA.
How Can CAA Assist on the Road?
Battery Assist – testing, boosting, and replacing your battery if need be
Emergency Gas Delivery – Gasoline delivery right to your car door
Tire Service – Installing your spare or a tow if warranted
Towing Service – I’ve been in a position that needed a tow before as well. This can be a lifesaver when you need it!
and of course, my favourite, Vehicle Lock Out Service
Did You Know that CAA will also come to the rescue when you are out pedaling? That’s right, they offer bike assist when traveling by bike as well!
When car trouble happens, life gets put on hold. CAA gives you life-side assistance to get you back on the road! Visit www.caasco.com to learn more ways CAA can help with roadside assistance and other benefits to carrying a CAA card.

Disclosure – I am participating in the CAA program by ShesConnected. I received compensation in exchange for my participation in this campaign. The opinions on this blog are my own.
Love CAA, we have a membership and love the piece of mind, knowing that should a ‘mishap’ happen help is only a phone call away!
CAA is such a life saver at times! It’s great to know that you can count on them should you ever need help 🙂
I used this soo many times with my old car. That was not fun . Our whole family had the memberships. CAA kept my mom driving for many years as a senior. It gave her and helped her keep her independence. It was the best gift we ever have her.
I don’t have a CAA membership, but the more that I learn about the program and all the perks I’m beginning to think I should have one.
We have had CAA for years and as long as I am driving, let me tell you that I would never not have it! CAA has saved me and my family twice in the past 6 months.
I love their service! Helpful, effective, friendly and prompt.
Just yesterday, my van died on me while doing errands. Within 30 minutes I had someone there to help me and while I waited, I received 3 text messages updating me on their arrival!!!
I love that they kept you updated with texts!
I have had CAA since I got my car, love the service, and the extra perks that come with membership.
I have also been having fun playing the game of life – I am hoping for the cruise down the Danube!
