AAA Coverage Question

beach-mom — Fri, 04 Nov 2022 17:54:32 GMT

I just got a call to renew our coverage. It has gone up over $100. That seems like a lot, but it may be the norm now. I decided to check other options. Have any of you had your cost of coverage at AAA go up? TIA!

I renewed maybe 6-7 weeks ago. I did it online. I don't think I had an increase. I would have noticed $100.

@beach-mom

Can't help you with your question, just a comment. We had AAA for decades and it's prices went up, but not much.

When we changed our Home Owner and Automobile Insurance Coverage, our new coverage came with the same Roadside Assistance as AAA.

We have AAApremium coverage. The cost has gone up but not $100. I think it was only around $30.

Mine comes up for renewal next month. Last year it was $52.00 for single household. I've had it for around 30 years and have used 2 times. It's like any insurance, if you don't have it, you'll need it. Does seem like everything else price wise is out of control.

We have had AAA for 50. (?) years for both of us. The only time the price went up was when we added extended towing distance as we drive to FL and points north. If on vacation anywhere, the peace of mind is worth it.

We have 3 vehicles and the cost is 200 year with all the extras we want. We pay for it with the rewards checks.

Now the Comenity Bank replaced Bank of America as their card transaction processing vendor, that may change.

I dropped AAA a few years ago because it had gotten too expensive. I currently get roadside assistance as an add-on to my GEICO car insurance. It's a fraction of AAA's cost. I don't need all the other stuff AAA offers, like travel agency.

Of course, four months after I dropped AAA, they came crawling back with a very good offer. But it was too late. I told them that, if they'd only offered that price to begin with, I would have stayed with them.

I think OP is referring to AAA's insurance products, not the club membership.

I have very fast, efficient roadside service as part of my auto insurance with USAA. The last time I called, they were at my house within 5 minutes. I asked the guy if he was stalking me.

We recently had a car problem and called for a jump start. We were told a 50(!!) minute wait.

Called a friend w/ a towing service,etc. He was there in about 10 minutes. Jump started us and followed us home. We submitted a claim but so far have not heard if claim has been paid. We were disappointed in the 3A's response time.

I am embarrassed to say, but I have it tied to my credit card so that it auto renews each year. I honestly can't remember what I paid and it was just this past September.

I don't know why I keep it. I have roadside assistance with my car insurance.

Wow. Mine renewed in August - I didn't notice mine going up.

If you're talking about AAA's auto insurance, their premiums were the highest I got quoted when I looked for car insurance a few years back. The lowest price they would offer me was $240 a month. Geico came in at $80 a month. I went with Geico.

Right! Good catch! A call doesn't sound right.

@beach-mom @If your talking about roadside assistance, the price can vary depending on what you include. If you include 100 mile towing, more than one member, flat bed towing; you can pay more. Ours went up, but it wasn't $100 more. I'm not sure how much it was. The prices also vary by which AAA club you belong to. There are different clubs in different regions of the country. There are different charges to add on family members too.
