i fyou are towing thru AAA, you shoudl be able to get away with putting your plate on it.
tell them only what they ask for, don't give them anymore in fo than they need.
if they dont ask about it being currently registered dont tell them its not.
if they do ask, tell them you just bought it and the plates that you put on are the ones being transfered to it.

AAA would not tow the 2 SVTs I'm picking up without a plate. I have to pay for both tows outta pocket.
Not sure if you are trying to have AAA do it, or just automatically pay up front. If you are paying, I don't think it matter if it is registered or not.

like i said you only tell them what htey want to hear.
they wont run the plates to see if they are actually registered to the vehicle.
the most they might ask for is a bill of sale for proof of purchase.

technically...the car needs to be registered to tow like that, because it is still rolling on the ground.
U-haul might give you more of a hard time about that than anyone.

well there not going to be able to see the towed car, just the one towing... So if it comes down to it, I'll give all the info for my car hehe. And just slap my plates on the one I'm picking up. After bill of sale, legally (in RI) you have 5days to change the plates over to the car they r on.

Ok as far as uhaul goes it's like this. I'm responsible for the vehicle being towed, the towing vehicle, and the trailer I'm renting, and the hitch. And if anything goes wrong it's all on me.
I think with the dolly setup you can't go over 45mph. I'm going to get the vin number and put insurance on it. After bill of sale and my plates on it, it's a legal setup for a RI'er.

Do not put your plate on a different vehicle. You'll get in less trouble if you tow it with no plate than if you towed with the wrong plate.
If you keep the plate that is / was registered to the car and just towed it and drove civily you probably won't get bothered at all.
I don't know why a wrecker company wouldn't have a transport plate in the tow truck.

Not using a wrecker company hehe. Doing it with my uncle's dodge ram and renting a uhaul dolly (which just lifts the front wheels) I just got vin# from bike and is now insured. After bill of sale, yes I can legally (In RI) put the plates on the car (as long as it's insured). They give you 5 working days to xfer the plates over. Also if I wish to keep it, before I can even register it I have to drive it to have the vin check because it is an out of state car.
The cheapest quote I could get to tow it back here was 200. Which isn't bad... I have to pay 15 for gas 65 total for trailer rental and 12pack of beer..
