The core value of a AAA Membership remains its reliable roadside assistance. However, this coverage extends further than basic car towing.
Every AAA Membership tier – except AAA Everyday – includes a towing benefit to help you move a disabled vehicle to a safe location or repair shop. The distance covered depends on your specific membership level (Classic, Plus or Premier), but you can always rely on a AAA tow truck to rescue you from the side of the highway.

Get Help NowLocking your keys inside your vehicle is incredibly frustrating. Instead of paying out of pocket for an expensive local locksmith, your AAA Membership includes a free car lockout service. A AAA technician will arrive at your location and safely unlock your vehicle so you can get back on the road.

Get Back In
Running out of gas unexpectedly can leave you stranded. With a AAA Membership, you get free gas delivery to your location. A service technician will bring enough fuel to get you to the nearest gas station. While you will have to pay for the cost of the gas itself with your Classic Membership, the delivery service is free.
When your car battery is failing, AAA has you covered. You can count on a battery jump start or boost to get back on the road quickly. With AAA Mobile Battery Service, the technician can even test your current battery and replace it on the spot if needed. Plus, replacement batteries are available to members at a discounted rate, making this service both convenient and cost-effective.
Don’t let worn or cracked wiper blades impact your safety on the road. AAA Roadside Assistance offers windshield wiper blade replacement to ensure you can see clearly in any weather. This valuable service is both convenient and affordable for AAA Members and can be added during a normal service call. It’s one less thing to worry about, so you can drive with confidence in all conditions.
AAA does not just protect you when you are driving a car. The AAA bicycle breakdown service ensures that if your bicycle breaks down while you are out for a ride, a AAA service vehicle will pick you up. The technician will transport you and your bicycle to a safe location, meaning you never have to walk miles home with a flat bike tire.

The cost of a AAA Membership varies based on your region and the tier you select (Classic, Plus or Premier). Generally, basic memberships start around $60 to $70 per year, while Premier memberships can cost around $120 to $150 per year.
A AAA Membership is ideal for daily commuters, frequent road trippers and individuals who want peace of mind regarding vehicle breakdowns. It is also an excellent investment for people who frequently utilize travel agents.
Yes. The distance your vehicle can be towed for free depends on your membership tier. Classic members typically receive up to 5 miles of free towing per breakdown. Plus members receive up to 100 miles, and Premier members usually receive one tow of up to 200 miles, plus additional 100-mile tows
While AAA travel agents can help you plan a memorable vacation and take advantage of valuable member benefits, they may charge fees for certain services, such as booking, exchanging or refunding an airline ticket. It's best to confirm any potential charges with your agent beforehand.
Most AAA benefits, including discounts and travel planning, are available immediately after you join. However, roadside assistance benefits (like towing and car lockout services) typically require a 24-to-48-hour waiting period after enrollment to prevent drivers from signing up only after they break down.
Bicycle service is not available in areas that are not reachable from a regularly traveled, hard-surface road, street or parking lot designed for motor vehicles. If the bicycle breakdown occurs away from a regularly traveled road, street or parking lot, service will only be provided if the bicycle can be moved by the member to a regularly traveled road. Bicycle transportation service is counted toward your allotted roadside assistance service calls per member, per membership year. AAA will transport you and your bike to any point of safety within the limits of your coverage. See AAA.com/MemberHandbook for full terms and conditions.
