Can I use my AAA membership to get her towed to a tire shop, or is that against the rules?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your AAA membership applies to you, not your vehicle, so you\u2019re covered even if you\u2019re not driving your car. All you\u2019ll need is your photo ID and AAA membership card for assistance 24 hours a day every day of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AAA\u2019s Member Guide from July 2023 says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Membership covers you whether you\u2019re the driver or passenger in a car.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To get emergency roadside assistance, you must be with the vehicle at the time of breakdown and service.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When the AAA representative arrives, you must present your AAA membership card and driver&#8217;s license or other government-approved ID.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a valid membership card and photo identification are not presented at the time of service, you will be required to pay for the service.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The disabled vehicle must be a licensed and registered four-wheel motor-driven passenger vehicle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"What-else-AAA-can-do-for-you\">What else AAA can do for you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the level of service you have signed up for, different limits apply.
