AAA has a towing limit of up to 5 miles for customers with its Classic roadside assistance plan. The towing limit for customers with the AAA Plus plan is up to 100 miles, and the limit for the Premier plan is up to 200 miles. Specific roadside assistance coverage may vary by state, so drivers should check their AAA policy to learn exact limits and exclusions.
In general, purchasing roadside assistance from a car insurance company is less expensive than purchasing a motor club membership from companies like Better World Club or AAA. Coverage might be more limited, though. To see how AAA roadside assistance compares to the competition, check out the table below.
