Should You Tip AAA Tow Truck Driver?

AAA is one of the largest and most reliable roadside assistance services in the United States. Their services include towing, battery service, tire repair, and lockout services.

When you call AAA for help, a tow truck driver is dispatched to assist you.

Tipping a tow truck driver is not required nor expected but it is a nice gesture of gratitude in exchange for their hard work. The amount of tip should depend on the level of service received; for instance, if the driver was polite, professional and worked quickly, then a larger tip would be more appropriate than if the driver was slow and unprofessional.

The amount of tip you give should also depend on your budget. You don’t need to break the bank to show your appreciation for the service provided by the tow truck driver.

A small amount like $5-10 is usually enough to show your gratitude.

If you are short on cash but still want to show your appreciation, there are other ways you can do so such as writing a thank-you note or giving them a box of chocolates or snacks. It’s always nice to show someone that you appreciate their hard work and effort.

Conclusion:

Tipping AAA tow truck drivers is not mandatory but it is always appreciated if done in an appropriate manner based on your budget and level of service received. Showing gratitude for their hard work with either monetary or non-monetary gestures can go a long way in expressing your appreciation.
