Not only does one get the towing service, but if on an extended trip, AAA Premium provides a good many travel related services if the trip is interrupted due to mechanical failure or accident.  This is AAA Auto Club, not AAA insurance.  I had both when in Oklahoma.  Now, in Washington, AAA insurance is not available, so I had to buy different insurance.

The travel services are actually extensive.  They will get you back home, they will put you up overnight.  AAA Premium is a pretty good deal.
