When a vehicle cannot be started or safely driven due to a sudden and unexpected breakdown, accident, or other covered vehicle disablement, the independent service provider can tow the vehicle back to its facility, no matter how far away, at no charge to the member on allowable service calls1. If the member chooses to have the vehicle towed to another location (including a AAA Approved Auto Repair facility), the following towing benefits apply:

Classic: Towed without charge to the destination of their choice up to seven driving miles in any direction from the point of breakdown.2

Plus®: Towed without charge to the destination of their choice up to 100 driving miles in any direction from the point of breakdown.2

Premier®: Towed without charge to the destination of their choice up to 200 driving miles for one service call per household3 per membership year and up to 100 driving miles for the remaining service calls.2

Members are responsible for all costs of service above the stated mileage limits. RV and motorcycle towing benefits are subject to dollar limits, instead of mileage limits. See "RV/Motorcycle Roadside Assistance" below for details.

1Not all independent service providers perform repairs at their facilities. Member must be present when the vehicle is delivered to a closed repair facility.

2Members receive up to four Roadside Assistance calls or reimbursements per membership year at no charge. There is a service charge for each additional call after the fourth call or reimbursement. Plus and Premier towing may be subject to a delay. Towing beyond the benefits described above is at the member’s expense.

3The benefit limitations described above will be effective for members who, on or after 4/1/2021, purchase a new Premier membership, upgrade their membershio to Premier, or renew their current Premier membership. For those who were existing Premier members as of 3/31/2021, the new towing limit changes will not apply until their next renewal date.
Close


Each Member receives up to four Roadside Assistance calls or reimbursements per membership year at no charge. There is a service charge for each additional call after the fourth call or reimbursement. Towing beyond the benefits described above is at the Member's expense.

Plus® and Premier® members are entitled, at no cost, to delivery of sufficient fuel to reach the nearest service station. Classic members must pay for the fuel. Diesel must be requested when you call for service and may not always be available.

When AAA members lock their keys inside their vehicle passenger compartment, an independent service provider will attempt to gain entrance. Cost for this service is covered by the membership. In the event of lost or broken keys, keys locked in the trunk, or other lock-related emergencies, AAA will assist the member in locating a locksmith. AAA will also provide up to $60 for parts and labor when locksmith services are required for Classic members. Plus® members are provided up to $100 in parts and labor and Premier® members are provided up to $150 for parts and labor when a locksmith is required.

Reimbursement of charges: When it is necessary to pay for service at commercial rates, an itemized receipt listing the member's name, vehicle, and services rendered is required. Bring or mail the original receipt and an explanation of the circumstances to the local AAA branch within 60 days of the date of service. A reimbursement counts as a Roadside Assistance call. Reimbursement is not provided for taxi fares, telephone calls, rental cars, etc.

Partial reimbursement: Only partial reimbursement, limited to the amount AAA would have paid an independent contract station to provide the service, will be made when AAA was not called to provide service.

AAA Battery Service is a mobile battery testing and replacement service. In areas where the service is available, a AAA Battery Service technician will test and assess the vehicle's battery and electrical system. If the vehicle's battery is dead, the independent service provider will jump start your vehicle if possible. If it cannot be started, towing will be provided under the towing benefit.

If the existing battery fails the test and the member would like to have the battery replaced, the technician will install a new battery, if available, that meets or exceeds the vehicle's original specifications. All batteries come with a 72-month limited warranty with a 36-month free replacement period valid in the U.S. and Canada. AAA Battery Service is provided by independent contractors and is only available in select areas, during select hours. Batteries and battery warranties are provided by independent suppliers. Batteries are available for most makes and models. Battery prices vary depending on vehicle make and model. Copies of the warranties are available for inspection from the technician at any time upon request.

If the vehicle's spare tire is inflated and serviceable, it will be installed to replace a flat tire if possible. When a serviceable spare tire is not available or cannot be installed, towing will be provided under the towing benefit.

When it is safe, minor repairs may be attempted to return the vehicle to a drivable condition. These repairs cannot be guaranteed, and the member should immediately proceed to a repair facility and consult a mechanic. AAA cannot guarantee the availability of repairs. The AAA service representative or the independent service provider can assist in locating a local AAA Approved Auto Repair facility, upon request.
Close


If your vehicle becomes stuck, one normally equipped service vehicle and one driver will be provided to extricate or winch your vehicle when it can be safely reached from a normally traveled road or established thoroughfare. Extrication of vehicles parked on streets, driveways, parking lots, or alleys which are snowbound or flooded is not covered under AAA membership. Service does not include shoveling snow from around a vehicle or clearing a road or driveway. If special equipment, more than one service vehicle, or more than one person is required, the associated costs may be at your expense.

Plus and Premier members who require extrication or winching for a vehicle will be provided up to two drivers and two service vehicles, if needed, at no additional charge. Members with optional RV/Motorcycle Roadside Assistance will receive extrication or winching for their RV, motorcycle or recreational trailer; up to two drivers and two service vehicles, if needed, provided that RV/Motorcycle service will be subject to the dollar amount limitations described in Optional RV/Motorcycle Roadside Assistance below.

Auto rental assistance program: When you need a replacement vehicle due to mechanical breakdown or roadside emergency, AAA will help arrange a rental car and provide special discounted rates from AAA preferred providers.

Plus rental benefit: In addition to discounted rates, Plus members receive a complimentary one-car class upgrade from a AAA preferred rental car provider. The upgrade benefit is available when your primary vehicle requires a tow. If the one-car class upgrade is not available, the member will receive the next higher car class, subject to availability.

Premier complimentary rental car: If AAA tows your vehicle in your AAA club's local territory, we can arrange a rental car for one day at no charge from a AAA preferred rental car provider. Premier members are entitled to one complimentary one-day standard rental car per year, when the tow is one of four allowable Roadside Assistance calls. Service must be arranged through AAA and provided by a preferred provider. Members have up to 48 hours to request the rental and are responsible for subsequent days' charges, upgrades, vehicle insurance, mileage, fuel charges, fees, and taxes. Once the one-day complimentary rental is used, Premier members are entitled to discounted daily rates plus a complimentary one-car class upgrade. If an upgrade vehicle is not available, members will receive the next higher car class, subject to availability.

Normal rental qualifications including age restrictions, credit card hold, and other restrictions apply for all benefits. Rental cars are subject to availability. Rates subject to change.
