Why not find a local truck rental place. and then rent a trailer. Trailer rental will usually be 50 bucks a day. truck about the same. Prob alot less then the tow bill home.

I think I have used them 5+ times in the past 2 years.

Once you have been a member for a year you can upgrade to a 'gold' or 'plus' membership, free towing up to 100 miles! Their normal tow is free up to 3 miles, then like $2/per mile past that.

Yea, I know I could always do that, but I don't have anything powerful enough to pull my car...I would need to borrow one of my friends trucks.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Not sure if it varies by state or not. My wife and I have the membership where it covers us (no matter what car we are driving or even if we are just riding in a car that breaks down).
