Comment on My elderly parents' car broke down a couple hundred miles away. How can I get them and their car home (or fixed) with a minimum of cost and hassle?

  AAA is one of those services that I occasionally think I don’t need, and then something like this happens and proves me wrong. It’s definitely worth it when you need it.

  I believe AAA will even let you join after the fact for a breakdown like this EXCEPT only at the lowest tier where they cover only short tows to the nearest repair shop

  I have a middle tier where I can get tows up to 150 miles, but there was a one year “probation” before they let me pay for the higher tier
