AAA roadside service and hybrids

Created July 3, 2007, at 10:19 pm by kea

I found out the hard way recently that AAA in my area provides very limited roadside assistance for hybrids. When my 12V battery was dead, I called AAA and they said they could not jump start me and would only tow me. This is their policy.

I was on my way after reading the manual and calling my local Toyota dealer who gave me some free guidance and then jumpstarting (from my other hybrid :) ). No thanks to AAA.

I have not been able to find information about this restriction on the AAA website. I'm now trying out Better World Club to see what their service is like.

I got a jump from AAA when I left the lights on and ran down the 12v battery on our HCH. There is no reason they shouldn't be able to give you a jump.
