Default Cheapest way to tow car from Milpitas to Millbrae

So the transmission on my 92 Civic (auto) has died, rendering it immovable (except for short 1-2 min drives). The car is sitting at my apartment in Milpitas and a have another transmission ready to go in. The problem is I do not have all the tools or the know-how to swap a transmission. My cousin in Millbrae has offered to help install the tranny if I can somehow get the car over there.

Anybody have any ideas on the cheapest way to get the car towed that distance?

AAA is out of the question because they have a 5-mile limit.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Upgrade your AAA membership to the higher level one and I think the limit jumps to 100 miles or something like that.

You can't just upgrade, you have to have the basic for a 1 year and no towing, then you can upgrade your membership 2nd year.

Doh - I just called them and it's true. You have to have basic for one year & without any tows to be eligible for plus
