On good roads and a responsible towing company, you should be fine (unless youre slammed, then maybe problems). My old car has been towed once when i was in high school, the towing company actually wrote down any dents/flaws before it was towed as to verify if they caused any damage. Now that can be easily lied about if they just add to the list once its where they are towing you to. But like i said, a responsible tow company should not damage your car.
All that being said, i would be very concerned about my car on the back of a tow truck. haha

The Lexus owners manual should give instructions on towing the IS250 AWD car.

As long as your not lowered to much or have a front lip, it shouldn't be a problem. IS is RWD so they usually hook it up with the rear wheels, lock the steering wheel straight and let the front wheels roll.
When i call AAA for towing i just request a flat bed. They will have no problem sending you one and most of the time, its actually quicker to get a flat bed to you. I've never had to wait more than 20 mins for a flat bed.
As mentioned before though, whose towing your car matters too. If you get some guy whose new or just doesn't care than you might run into problems. Last time i lowered my Prelude and had a problem i requested AAA send me a flat bed and the guy i got used pieces of wood to get it onto the flat bed without scraping the rear or the front
