Will AAA allow me to schedule a tow for a future date?
I don't have time to have my car towed today, but will AAA let me schedule a tow a few days from now? My car broke down while I was leaving my parent's house today. They live on a private country road, so I know it is safe for a few days.

AAA towing membership is usually reserved for emergency use only, so scheduling a tow is unlikely to be approved.
Depending on your region, there might be times that AAA will approve a next-day tow. However, these are few and far between because scheduling a tow is not aligned with their membership policy.
If you can wait: Call AAA on the day you have availability to wait for the tow. Remember that you, as the AAA member, must be present with the vehicle.
If you can’t wait: Use the
towing and labor coverage
in your car insurance
policy, if you have it, and see if they will allow you to schedule a tow. You can also use AAA to schedule a tow in the future, but it won’t be covered under your membership.Hope this helps!
