Who has AAA membership, is it worth it?

The AAA discount averages $20 a night at the various Marriott brands, often in addition to corporate discounts, etc., at least inmy experience.

I have AAA+, and don't have any complaints. Besides the tow, battery, fuel services, they are a great help in registering cars, getting plates, etc. when I rebuilt a salvage title Rover, they were very helpful in getting me the proper forms and process to get it titled as a"rebuilt" ,insured and back on the road--which is kind of a PITA in PA.

The discounts on hotels, restaurants, and even retail stores is also a bonus. They have so many affiliations that I was not aware of, that anymore I always ask "do you offer AAA discount" regardless of what I am buying or where.

AAA+ since '88. Even when our cars were covered by the manufacturer towing service, it was worth every penny for DMV issues. I'll be buying it for my kids as a Christmas present every year forever.

Our Allstate insurance policy includes towing for our cars and that's the only thing I would use AAA for, so Allstate is a better deal for us.

What is after a GOLD card PLATINUM?

I hope I live long enough.

Member for 63 years! Wow, I'm at 41 and thought I had been around a while.

Got the GOLD card @ 50yrs





And they are not all my years, when I got my own account, the years from the family followed.

With all those Years I even had my ID checked once to verify it was me.

AAA is the best there is, period. Get the long distance towing if you can afford it. The company is excellent for insurance and towing.

Just got the renewal for my classic car coverage. Collision and comprehensive just went up quite a bit and increased my overall rate by 20%. Still affordable at 300 bucks, but I wish I could just increase my professional fees by 20%, too, to supposedly keep up with the cost of doing business.

So has anyone used their extended towing to get towed to a racetrack? I was thinking that yeah, it's a little underhanded but hey, getting a flatbed to the track is a lot cheaper then buying a trailer if you are only doing a couple of track days a year!

Just a thought!

Could be almost ligit... Speedmerchant got a repair shop at the local track Calabogie Motorsports Park so you may want a "professional" to check the air pressure before you hit the track

I've been a AAA member since 1988. It's proven worthwhile on many occasions; from towing broken down vehicles, to towing cars to paint shop, brining gas to a stranded motorist, selling and buying vehicles and even yesterday when it was time to register my wife's car.
