I like the Triple AAA Trip-Tik idea (or even a AAA membership) and I really like the food certificate idea. A AAA membership is a little spendy, but it pays for itself in hotel discounts if you ask me. And then it's that insurance for the possible breakdown. I would also lend my name and password to a good-enough friend so they could make their own hotel reservations through AAA if they would like that.

Also, you might want to get them a copy of the Cracker Barrel locator map, and then a gift certificate for their books on audio program. (Buy a BOA, then trade it in at any Cracker Barrel and get your money back except for $3.95 a week.)
