The Automobile Club is a non-profit service organization with over 51 million members, including 6 million in Southern California.  If you are not already a member, you should consider becoming one.

Basic “classic” membership is $57 per year (as of June 2025). Membership provides for up to 4 service calls per year, with tows up to 7 miles, discounted rental cars, emergency fuel delivery, locksmith service, access to AAA offices and services, free maps and travel planning, etc. Upgraded plans (AAA Plus and AAA Premier) are available, with enhanced benefits, such as much longer towing benefits.

But where membership can really pay off are savings on products and services.  Here are a few that really stand out (updated June 2025...subject to change).

  • Getting a AAA rate on hotels like Hilton, Hyatt, and Best Western can save you 5% or more on your rooms.

  • AMC Theatre Black Tickets good for seats across the country for $12.75, which is a 20% savings over average retail prices. Also save on tickets at Regal and Cinemark theatres.
