AAA’s towing coverage<\/a> is included with all membership levels. Different membership levels have different towing distances. All memberships include unlimited distance back to the tow truck’s shop. Limits only apply for tows to shops of your own choosing.<\/p>\nDoes AAA cover bicycles? Bicycle breakdown service<\/h3>\n
Yes, AAA coverage for bikes is included in every membership level. If you’re on a bike ride and get a flat, AAA will come to pick you and your bike up. Their roadside service benefits are for bikes, too!<\/p>\n
It beats walking your bike out or hiding your bike while you walk home to get a flat kit. With AAA, you won’t have any more worries about having your bike stolen or walking back in the dark.<\/p>\n
Can AAA tow my car without keys?<\/h3>\n
Do you need to have your car towed but can’t find the keys? Although you might think you can’t tow a vehicle without keys, that’s fortunately not the case! That’s right; AAA can tow people’s cars even if they don’t have the keys.<\/p>\n
When you call AAA to arrange the tow, tell them you don’t have the car keys. That way, AAA will send out a tow truck with self-loading dollies or a flatbed trailer. The self-loading dollies or flatbed trailers ensure your car’s drive wheels don’t touch the pavement while in tow. That’s important because, without the keys, your vehicle will still be in park, which is a problem for some types of tow trucks.<\/p>\n
Can AAA pick up my car without me there?<\/h3>\n
Sometimes when our car breaks down, we cannot stay with it while waiting for a tow truck. That makes sense since people have jobs to get to, and a car breakdown isn’t always an acceptable excuse. Sadly, AAA won’t provide services to an unattended vehicle.<\/p>\n
If you cannot stay with your car, you will need someone else to stay with it, or AAA will not tow it. The only exception is if you have to leave for medical treatment from an injury or safety reasons why you can’t stay with the car.<\/p>\n
You might think this is unfair, but unfortunately, a few bad apples ruined it for the rest of us by calling tow trucks on cars they didn’t own. This situation happens most frequently due to parking disputes between neighbors. It’s technically theft, so AAA won’t tow a vehicle anymore unless you or another authorized person are there.<\/p>\n
Can I use my Triple-A benefits for someone else?<\/h3>\n
Driving with a friend and need to call AAA? You can use your AAA benefits for someone else when you are there when the roadside assistance person arrives.<\/p>\n
AAA memberships follow you wherever you are, not just in a specific vehicle. Your membership covers you whether you’re a driver, a passenger, with friends, or with someone you don’t know.<\/p>\n
Does AAA check ID?<\/h3>\n
AAA will typically only check your photo ID if you have them tow your car. They had to implement this rule to prevent people from using AAA to steal cars or harass their neighbors!<\/p>\n
How many tows do you get each year?<\/h3>\n
What is the tow limit on AAA services? Quite a few, as it turns out. The number of tows and the free towing distance vary by membership level.<\/p>\n
