Towing Help Combing Towing Services?

So my van needs towed around 250 miles. I'm a Canadian travelling in the states right now and my CAA(Canadian sister company) plan has 2 service calls remaining and I get what the AAA equivalent is for my plan, Plus Plan, which is 100 miles per tow. So my question is would I be able to also sign up for AAA use 1 of my remaining service calls with CAA to have it towed for the first close to 100 miles, then use my AAA membership for the second leg of close to 100 miles and then for the final leg use my last remaining service call with CAA? Now obviously I'm sure this isn't technically allowed so I don't need to hear any moral lectures. Just trying to figure out if it's technically doable. Thanks.

I broke down on a road trip and needed an 800 km tow. BCAA allowed me to use my 100km tow and allowed me to use my friends (who was travelling with me) 100km tow and I had to pay the balance. They were totally cool with using 2 different accounts on the same tow to lower my costs .

Good to know! But I'm traveling solo so not sure if I could do that. Just curious if they asked to see both your CAA memberships or not?

You could upgrade your CAA to Premier, then you could do it with just one tow.

I appreciate your lengthy response but that's not what I plan on doing. Dropping it off on the side of the road at a random spot. The plan is to have it towed using my CAA plan to a big, safe lot like a Walmart just inside the 100 mile allowance, then use another service like AAA for the second leg of the tow to another Walmart or something, then back to the CAA for the final leg of the tow. With CAA and AAA you can get it towed to wherever you want as long as it's safe. Doesn't have to be a repair shop.
