You've packed the boxes, booked the truck and mapped out the route to your new home. The last thing you need is a flat tire on the highway with a load full of furniture.
That's why AAA Roadside Assistance is ready to help 24/7, no matter what the road throws at you.
moving day protection...
If you're not yet a member—or if your current plan doesn't match the scale of your move—now is the time to act.
Moving day comes with unique road risks. You're hauling heavy loads, navigating unfamiliar roads and potentially covering long distances. The demands of a big move—extra weight, extended driving, and new terrain—can put added strain on tires, batteries, and engines. And when things go wrong, you're likely far from home with no time to spare.
Without roadside coverage, a single breakdown could mean hours of waiting, unexpected towing fees and a delayed move-in. With AAA Roadside Assistance, help is just a tap, click or call away.
Plus, AAA Membership follows you, not your vehicle—so you're covered whether you're driving your own car or riding as a passenger in a moving truck.

A lot can happen between Point A and Point B. Here are some of the most common moving day mishaps, and how AAA Roadside Assistance handles each one:
Flat tire: Overloaded vehicles are harder on tires. If you get a flat, AAA technicians will install your usable spare or help arrange a tow when a spare isn’t available.
Dead battery: Short trips during loading and unloading can drain a battery fast. AAA offers on-site testing, jump-starts, and competitively priced replacement vehicle batteries with special member discounted pricing, backed by a nationwide 3-year free limited replacement warranty.
Lock out: It happens. Keys left inside a packed car on a hectic day is incredibly common. AAA's vehicle locksmith service gets you back in quickly.
Out of fuel: Long drives with a packed vehicle can burn through fuel faster than expected. AAA delivers enough fuel to get you to the nearest gas station.
Worn or cracked wiper blades: AAA roadside technicians in many markets, can replace wiper blades as an add-on during a regular service call in just a few minutes.
Breakdown or mechanical failure: If your vehicle becomes undriveable, AAA's 24/7 towing service transports it safely to a vetted AAA-owned Car Care or AAA Approved Auto Repair facility where members receive a special discount on repair labor and other benefits.
Moving day is stressful enough without worrying about breakdowns. Learn how AAA Roadside Assistance can keep your move on track.
Roadside Assistance to the Rescue
Not all AAA Memberships offer the same towing coverage. If you're moving across town, the Classic/Basic plan may not be enough. For a long-distance move, a breakdown could leave you needing a tow far beyond that limit.

Learn Step-by-StepBuying a new home is a milestone, and moving into it should feel like a celebration, not a logistical nightmare. Having AAA Roadside Assistance means that even if something goes wrong on the road, you have a trusted partner ready to step in and handle it.
Your AAA Membership covers you as a member, meaning you can request roadside assistance regardless of what vehicle you're in—including a rental moving truck—as long as you are present with the disabled vehicle.
Pro tip: When you use your AAA Membership to book and save on moving trucks through Penske Truck Rental, you're getting even more support on the road. Penske Truck Rental moving trucks come with their own 24/7 roadside assistance and help hotline, ready to assist you with any issues related to the truck itself.
AAA Plus or AAA Premier are the best options for moving day, particularly for long-distance moves. AAA Plus provides up to 100 miles of free towing per service call, while AAA Premier covers the first tow up to 200 miles. AAA Classic's towing limit may not be sufficient for moves across town or across state lines.
Response times vary based on location and demand, but AAA dispatches the nearest available technician immediately after your request is logged. The AAA Mobile App provides real-time tracking of your technician's location and estimated arrival time.
Yes, but plan ahead. You can upgrade your AAA Membership online, by phone, or in person at a local AAA branch. However, enhanced benefits come with a 3-day waiting period. To ensure full coverage on moving day, upgrade your membership at least a few days in advance.
