I heard Clark Howard on the radio a while back saying to never use the roadside coverage on your regular auto insurance policy because they effectively count that claim like an accident, and use it as an excuse to raise your rates. It also goes into the database like an accident so other insurance companies count it that way and will rate you accordingly making it hard to change insurance companies.

He was basically saying that if you need a tow, your are better off paying for it yourself. I do not know if this applies to AAA.
