Ordinarily towing is $25+- /year premium for each vehicle insured
IIRC, so if you get the AAA type towing, etc. cancel the towing on
your insurance or you are paying twice. Also, w/ your insurance
towing, you have to pay for it & get reimbursed, but not w/ AAA, you
just sign the receipt & pay nothing!

YMMV,
