When it comes to roadside emergencies, knowing what services are available can make a stressful situation more manageable. As AAA members, we have access to a comprehensive roadside assistance program that includes towing services. The specifics of the towing coverage depend on the type of AAA membership we hold. Generally, every member is entitled to up to four free service calls per membership year, which can include towing, subject to the member’s plan’s restrictions.
The standard towing distance covered varies among the different levels of AAA membership. Basic membership typically includes towing services up to a certain number of miles, which suffices for most short-distance requirements. For longer distances, Plus and Premier memberships increase the towing coverage distance significantly, which can be a lifesaver if we find ourselves stranded far from home. Moreover, AAA provides options for immediate service for a fee, allowing new members to have access to roadside assistance without the standard 48-hour waiting period.
It’s important to note that limitations apply, and services like offshore winching or extraction from certain non-public areas may incur additional costs or may not be covered. We should always review our membership benefits to understand the extent of coverage and how to efficiently use the AAA’s 24/7 roadside assistance, ensuring that help is just a phone call or digital request away when we need it.
