Do you have a "AAA" card? |
|
If we all pitched in and let Maddy use our cards wouldn't that be a better way of getting her car home?

2. I have AAA plus that gives you 100 miles of free towing |
|
BUT, you have to be with the vehicle in order for it to be valid. AAA won't allow you to donate services to a third party unless you happen to also be riding in that vehicle.
Sorry. Good try, though.

4. Yes, it's an excellent resource |
|
And then on top you sometimes get better airfare, car rental, and hotel and hotel rates!

5. You'd have to show the tow driver the card. |
|
Plus, the card only works for someone who's IN the car. It's a nice idea though.

8. "You get five tows a year" |
|
No questions asked about who owns the car. I called AAA for a niece that was broken down three states over from me and they towed her car.

10. "Thats called the "AAA" curse" |
|
I thought about getting rid of AAA one time so I didn't pay the bill. Sure enough I broke down after it had expired. The girl renewed my card over the phone and I paid for another two years and the tow was free.

9. "Ask Maddy if her insurance company will pay for a tow?" |
|
I had tow insurance along with my plan and I never used it. She probably has it and doesn't know it.
With AAA when you break down x amount of miles from home they allow you to cash a check and ??? I can't remember all of the benefits but I would never drive without it.
