Lady- hope you dont mind me asking since this is your thread.... But curious as to if people utilize the associate member coverage. What benefits does it provide vs just a single membership?
Great question. I wasn't sure what it meant. |

The associate person is a family member under 26. The first year I added my trainer, she was added as an associate. After that, I had to pay full price. Also, the US Rider is on you so if you are in a truck with someone else and you have trouble, you are covered. If you have US Rider an your husband goes to a roping without you, he is not covered. Did that make sense? |

| I use Trailguard, this will be my 3rd year. Had to use it twice and they were fast to help me and did follow up calls to make sure I was still ok and that everything was going well. Before I signed up, I compared US RIDER and Trailguard. For me, Trailguard was a better fit. It is costly, but I signed up at a point they were having a deal, so every year I pay that same deal |

Yes, thank you. I had overlooked the "under age 26" part, so a husband and wife would need two seperate memberships. |

No, spouse is considered associate.
According to their FAQ page an associate is spouse, domestic partner, child under 19 or under 25 as long as they are a tax dependent college student. So if your 22 year old is off at college they are an associate, if they are not in college they do not qualify as an associate.
I like the the coverage follows me regardless of who's truck and trailer I'm traveling with, and they will assist without a trailer as well - so if I have an issue with the dually truck they will help whereas regular roadside assistance may have trouble with the duals.

Hands down to US Rider. I've used them maybe 3 times for blowouts and keys locked in the past 3 years..they will change a tire with horses in the trailer! I had AAA one year, and they won't touch a trailer with any livestock inside. Got rid of them right away
I have had US Rider for years. Back several years ago I had a flat on the trailer whiled parked overnight at the hook up. I called them and they said it wasn't covered. So I drove into town, bought a new tire and changed it myself. I did call on Monday and voiced my concern. Apparently there were some issues on what the vendors understood was covered, and the gentleman apologized and said he'd get it fixed.
All of these experiences seem more recent so maybe the glitch is fixed. I still have them for all the reasons everyone has given. |

I had an issue with my dually and no trailer in a rest area and AAA told me they wouldnt cover it because it was over a 3500. US rider was out with in 45 min with a tow truck |
