Why drivers pick AAA

Roadside assistance included by default at no rate premium — equivalent value of $60-100/yr in a standalone tow + lockout plan. Membership benefits also extend across travel, identity protection, banking.

Where AAA falls short

AAA's auto insurance pricing is mid-pack to slightly above national average. Coverage and pricing vary materially by regional AAA club (rates in California are run by CSAA, rates in Texas by AAA Texas, etc.) — quote portability across moves is limited.
