Safety Connect Pricing

You can just press the Safety Connect button, tell them the call is not an emergency and ask your question. By the way, the volume of the operator's voice is very low and cannot be adjusted from the car end. Toyota say's "they are working on it"

 

About a month before your subscription expires, you'll receive a renewal notice from Safety Connect. The Price is $139.99 a year but they do offer multi-year discounts. I would suggest you go ahead and try out the safety connect button-just to make sure it works. My connection was excellent and the volume was satisfactory.

 

My AAA service costs $56 per year. Toyota's SC is much more expensive and gives about the same emergency service, though SC automatically connects in the case of a really bad accident, it has a built-in GPS to automatically pin-point your location, it can help locate your car if it's stolen, and you don't need to carry a cell phone with you. Personally, SC just isn't worth the extra cost to me. Those recurring charges (SC, Entune, XM radio, etc.) add up to some serius money over a 10 year period, so I hope you've thought about SC's cost/rewards ratio. I've only used my AAA service (to call for a tow) one time in 15 to 20 years, so I've questioned if it's even worth the money. If you can afford the cost of SC, go for it. I'd be interested to hear from people who have SC and have actually made use of it in a situation where simply making a call on your cell phone couldn't have accomplished the same thing.

 

I use SC to report disabled vehicles to the police.
