1. Nationwide Emergency Road Service*

Our 24-hour helping hand throughout the continental United States and Canada rescues millions of members - as drivers or passengers - each year by:
  • Changing flat tires.
  • Jump-starting dead batteries.
  • Unlocking your vehicle:
    AAA Plus and AAA Premier Lockout Service includes automotive key and lock service and up to $100 for parts and labor when necessary to make the car operable or to gain entry.
  • Making minor adjustments to start your vehicle or providing towing, if necessary, to the service provider's station or repair facility of your choice. AAA Plus Members receive up to 100 free towing miles. AAA Premier members receive up to 100 free towing miles, with one tow per year of up to 200 miles.
  • Delivering fuel to stranded members. AAA Plus and AAA Premier includes delivery of a sufficient quantity of fuel to enable you to reach an open service station.
  • Extrication - AAA Plus and AAA Premier allows two service vehicles and two drivers.
  • You are entitled up to four service calls per year, per member.

You may call upon Emergency Road Service through the nearest AAA office, or call our own nationwide toll-free service number, 1-800-AAA-HELP. Emergency Road Service is provided to four-wheeled cars or light trucks that a AAA member is driving or riding in.

Assistance is limited by the safe maximum lifting capacity of equipment used by the service provider when lifting is necessary. (Dual-wheeled pickup trucks are covered for towing if the truck that arrives can safely lift them. Dual-wheeled pickups are also covered for other services, except tire service on the dual wheels.)

*For more information and complete details about your coverage and extended options, please review the information in the Automotive section of this Web site.

15. Renewal Payment Policy

You will be billed annually for renewal of your membership in advance of the expiration date. Renewal dues payments are due on or prior to the expiration date, but will be accepted up to 45 days after the expiration date to ensure that you are not charged a new member enrollment fee and that you do not lose any member benefits, such as insurance discounts and eligibility for Plus and Premier membership, related to your continuous years as  a member. After the grace period has expired, the renewal does not relate back to the date of expiration. Dues payments received after the 45 day grace period are subject to a reenrollment fee, and will result in you being treated as a new member for the 12 months going forward from the time of receipt of your dues payment plus the reenrollment fee.
