As for AAA I would advise you to get AAA Plus. It's a few $$ more, but well worth the extra if you really have to use it. They tow the first 100 miles for free, reg. AAA tows to the NEAREST repair shop. I had to use their service when we were transporting my Mom from one hospital to another and one of our cars broke down, 130 miles from their home. It covers the card holder for ANY car they are driving, even if they don't own it. So it doesn't matter whos name is on the card as long as they are present when the tow or gas or work (flat tire) is started.

Having said all that, if you want your name on the card, mine is-not tom's- (Thank God it was my name on the card and not his, he was not with us) then call and tell your story. They will issue you new cards.
