All plans get towing, battery service, tire change, out of fuel service, lockout, and even stuck vehicle service. The second most popular benefit, which I alluded to in the introduction, is trip planning. AAA has an app called AAA Mobile that will help you plan your trip, find the cheapest gas , and even call for roadside assistance. Finally, as is the case with many large organizations or corporations, AAA has a lot of agreements with various companies for discounts.
For example, when you book a hotel online, you will often see a discount available to AAA members and all you need is to provide your membership number. It's not always the absolute cheapest, given ongoing promotions, but it'll be cheaper than the advertised rack rate. Beyond these, there is still a huge list of benefits most people do not know about and aren't frequently used:.
It depends on two factors: how important is roadside assistance and whether you already have it through something else. We don't do a lot of driving so roadside assistance is not crucial, but it really depends on how much it costs. As it turns out, we can get it for cheap from our auto insurance. Out auto insurance is through State Farm and they offer hour emergency roadside service. It's not unlike what AAA offers and it's an addition on our policy. If roadside assistance is the biggest reason why you're getting AAA, you should see if you can get it for less from other places.
As for the discounts, you'll have to do the math yourself on this one. I suspect that if we had a big trip coming up, with several hotel stays or perhaps a Disney trip somewhere, a AAA membership might give us access to some discounts that'll pay for the membership. However, our compensation is never tied to whether you purchase an insurance product.
