Does anyone know how I can get a good deal on AAA membership?

[Faline]

Are there any current specials, promos, discounts, etc? I'm not sure how to search for it. We would like to join up and I'd like to save a bit if I can.

 

Thanks!

I looked into this just last month as our renewal came up and it was very $$ now that we have 3 drivers.

 

I couldn't find any discounts, so decided to drop AAA and go with our insurance co's emergency road service plan. It is $24/year to cover all of us, versus $100 for AAA. Dd already had to use it once for a lockout, and it was as quick & easy as AAA. :)

 

My second choice was Allstate Motor Club.

 

If you or hubby are 50 or over, AARP has a special deal that I think is the same as the Allstate Motor Club but cheaper.

 

If you need the AAA discounts, I guess you still have to pay up and go with them. But using the internet, I have found I can usually get similar discounts to AAA.

Our AAA had some direct mail before Christmas that had a coupon code on it.

 

Other things to try:

-www.aaa.com/joinnow. No membership fee plus add an Adult Associate for $18 instead of the $44 regular fee.

 

-Check that you're getting this as a gift and it's cheaper.

 

-Call your AAA office and ask for a discount code.

 

-Try LD1009 for $10 off/person. Or jazz0809 to waive the $17 joining fee. Or GIFT06 (G-I-F-T-zero-six). (These may all be expired.)

 

Here's some info on other clubs:

I agree with OC Mom - check with your auto insurance first and see if they have a roadside assistance plan. Some include it as part of your insurance automatically.
