How to value AAA membership

AAA value depends on your regional club, tier, and likelihood of needing roadside help. The calculator uses your local fee and caps towing value at your tier’s included mileage.

Beyond roadside help

Include shopping, dining, and travel benefits only when you realistically expect to use them.
