USAA roadside assistance has a towing limit of up to 50 miles. Specific roadside assistance coverage may vary by state, however, so drivers should check their USAA policy to learn the exact limits and exclusions of their plan.
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 USAA roadside assistance compares to the competition, check out the table below.
