It is probably the independent contractors they work with. I picked up the AAA Premier specifically because the 200mi tow gets me home from Poconos, LRP, Thompson, NJMP, and NY Safety Track should something go wrong.

Unfortunately, I had to prove the theory when the Vette transmission blew up at Thompson. 198 miles plus a ferry and AAA covered everything. I told them up front where it was, what happened, and that it would need to be a flat bed that could take a low profile car. No problems at all and I tipped the driver well. Excellent service!

The funny part is, if you read the fine print, they have trip protection coverage: "If your trip is delayed due to an accident, mechanical breakdown, car theft, unexpected illness or injury, or severe weather, you can be reimbursed up to $1,500 for covered out-of-pocket expenses, including meals and accommodations, and/or substitute transportation to continue your trip. " Thought about using this to rent one of the school Lambos or Ferraris to 'complete my trip'... was told no. It was worth a shot.
