How to Become a AAA Towing Contractor
The American Automobile Association (AAA) is a group of regional automobile service clubs that assist members with emergency service on the road, travel planning and maps, a variety of insurance plans and other travel-related services. Regional AAA clubs contract with local towing companies to provide towing and roadside services to club members. To qualify, a business must meet local and state licensing requirements for towing businesses and satisfy AAA-specific standards for contractors.
