I think you can use your AAA for any vehicle you're driving, but check. I've found it useless anyway, usually I can get a tow faster using Google and calling around. Yeah, you have to pay but I have towing insurance.
I have two experiences, both involving my 911. First it cooked an alternator 150mi from home, found a tow and asked the driver where he'd go, and the guy sent me to a German car wizard working out of a barn in middle of nowhere-the guy had maybe 50 MB's in various states of repair on the property. Second was on the BRP 2 yrs ago, came out of a turn and the car shut off. Luckily had a couple bars of service. Googled, found a tow company in Roanoke, like 2hrs to get me. Dropped them a pin, Googled again and found a German car indy in Roanoke. 20 minutes later it occured to me that I had an uninstalled new solid state DME relay in the glovebox, and voila, was on my way. Called and cancelled the tow before they were on the road.
You'll find a way.
BTW, most states allow you to purchase a "trip permit" so that you don't have to use sellers plates, but sometimes they're distance restricted. Check with your and seller's states dmv online.
