Yes. AAA associate members get access to the same discounts and rewards as the primary member.
That means your added driver can take advantage of:
Retail and dining discounts at thousands of participating locations
Travel savings on hotels, car rentals and attraction tickets
Entertainment deals, including theme park tickets and concert access
Online shopping discounts and cash back through the AAA Dollars Online Mall
Fuel savings at participating gas stations
These discounts are tied to AAA Membership status — and since associates are full members, they qualify automatically.
Want to stretch your savings even further? AAA associate members also get access to discounted eGift cards for popular retail and dining brands.

Yes. Roadside assistance coverage follows the member, not the vehicle. That means an associate member can call for help whether they're driving the family car, a friend's car or a rental.
Coverage typically includes:
Towing services
Battery jump-starts
Flat tire assistance
Fuel delivery
Lockout service
This is especially valuable for teen drivers or college students who may be navigating road emergencies for the first time.
Associate members receive 2 roadside service calls per year (primary members receive 4). This applies across all membership tiers, including Classic, Plus, Premier, Plus RV, Premier RV, and Motorcycle plans.
If you exceed your annual allotment, additional service calls may require an out-of-pocket fee. Tows will be to the closest responding facility at no extra charge, but tows to other destinations will be billed at prevailing towing rates.
Beyond discounts and roadside assistance, associate members also have access to:
AAA travel services: Including personalized trip planning and virtual travel agents.
ProtectMyID: Free identity theft protection from Experian, including credit monitoring and fraud resolution support.
Insurance and financial services: Members can explore AAA-offered auto, home and life insurance, as well as banking products.
The full suite of benefits applies to every member on the account, associate or primary.
Adding an associate to your AAA Membership takes just a few minutes online, and the benefits start right away. Every member on your account — including associates — gets access to roadside assistance, thousands of discounts, travel perks and identity protection.
Yes. Associate members can use their AAA Membership to access discounts at participating retailers, restaurants, travel providers and more — on their own, without the primary member present.

Yes. Children living away at school qualify as eligible associates under a parent's AAA Membership and receive some of the same benefits, including travel assistance and member discounts.
