MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
This Member Guide describes your Auto Club Member benefits.
New Members can join the Auto Club at the Classic level of benefits only. Existing Members with Classic level of benefits are eligible to upgrade
to AAA Plus
®
or AAA Premier
®
if the Primary Member in the Membership household has been a primary Member of the Auto Club for the prior ninety
(90) days and there have been no tows in the Membership household through the Auto Club during this same period. Existing Members with AAA Plus
level of benefits may upgrade to AAA Premier at any time. Members may add the Optional RV and Motorcycle Roadside Assistance as an additional
upgrade to any level of AAA benefit. Former Members of the Auto Club who previously had AAA Plus or AAA Premier level of benefits within the past
three hundred sixty-five (365) days can rejoin at the AAA Plus or AAA Premier benefit level. Extended Roadside Assistance services for AAA Plus, AAA
Premier or optional RV and Motorcycle services and certain AAA Premier benefits are effective seven (7) calendar days after processing, and receipt of
the full payment due. AAA Premier benefits that have a 7 day wait period include the following: Tow of up to 200 driving miles, Vehicle Locksmith, One-
day Free Rental Car with in-territory tow, Discount on the paid ID theft products, and Home Lockout Service. If you have a vehicle disablement before you
join, that disablement will not be covered after you join as one of your four allowable service calls per membership year. If you would like such service,
a non-refundable service fee will apply. See AAA.com/ServiceFee for fee amount.
All Members are entitled to receive Classic benefits. Members who are eligible and have paid the AAA Plus or AAA Premier dues are entitled to
receive the AAA Plus or AAA Premier benefits, as applicable. Members who have paid the Optional RV and Motorcycle Roadside Assistance dues
are entitled to receive the Optional RV and Motorcycle Roadside Assistance benefits, as applicable.
The AAA Plus Personal Notary benefit is available immediately after purchase. AAA Premier benefits that are available immediately after purchase
include the following: Personal Notary, CARFAX Vehicle History Report, Air processing fee discount, Automotive Expert Consultation, Car Buying
Consultation, and Vehicle Inspection Program rebate.
Membership is for personal, non-commercial use. Members cannot transfer or sell their Membership, Membership benefits or any roadside assistance
service calls to any other person. Without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, the Auto Club may cancel the Membership, and seek
payment of any costs incurred as a result of such misuse. The area serviced by Automobile Club of Southern California is one of nine territories
(“Affiliate Territories”) serviced by one of the following affiliated clubs: AAA Alabama, AAA East Central, AAA Hawai’i, AAA New Mexico, AAA Northern
New England, AAA Texas, AAA Tidewater, Automobile Club of Missouri, and Automobile Club of Southern California.
Auto Club Membership
All applications and renewals are subject to approval and acceptance by the Automobile Club of Southern California. If at any time during the
year you decide that the Auto Club is not for you, we will give you a pro-rated refund of the Membership dues you paid, excluding the new Member
admission fee and discounts. Membership eligibility, dues, fees, services and benefits are subject to change without notice.
AAA Primary and Associate Memberships
The first Membership in your household is the Primary Membership. An Adult Associate must be at least twenty-one (21) years old and reside in your
household. There is a limit of one Adult Associate per household. Dependent Associates must be under twenty-one (21) years old and either live in
your household or be full-time students away at school. Birth dates must be provided for Dependent Associates; there is no minimum age limit. Adult
and Dependent Associates enjoy the same Membership benefits as Primary Members. Primary Members are responsible for the conduct and the
service demands of their Associates and any costs to the Auto Club incurred as a result of misuse of Auto Club benefits by their Associates under the
Membership. An individual may be a Member on only (1) Membership at a time.
Membership Renewal
The Auto Club Membership is valid for one (1) year. The day, month and year that your Membership expires appears on your Membership card.
Membership may be renewed annually upon payment of applicable annual Membership dues. Prior to the expiration of your Membership, you will
receive one (1) or more renewal notices. These notices will state the names of the current Primary and Associate Members, the current services, and
the total Membership dues required for renewal. You may add or change Associate Members and services if desired. Your renewal payment is due
as of your Membership expiration date. We accept renewal payments up to ninety (90) days after your Membership expiration date. If you renew
your Membership prior to your Membership expiration date or within ninety (90) days thereafter, your original Membership number, Membership
join date and Membership expiration date will remain unchanged and your renewed Membership term will expire one year from your Membership
expiration date, even if such new expiration date is less than one (1) year from the date you paid for your renewal. The Auto Club will continue to
provide most Membership benefits and services to you after your Membership expiration date for a limited period of time; however, if you do not
renew, you will be billed a service charge for certain services used during such period.
If you prefer not to renew, you may purchase a new Membership at any time subject to all applicable new Membership policies. New Memberships
are issued with new Membership numbers, no prior “Membership years,” and may require payment of certain non-refundable fees, such as a new
Member admission fee. New Memberships expire one (1) year from the Membership join date.
Membership Cancellation Policy
According to Auto Club bylaws, the Auto Club may cancel a person’s Membership or affiliation with the Auto Club if the Auto Club determines that
the person’s conduct or excessive service demands are detrimental to the welfare, standing, or best interest of the Auto Club or to other Members.
Members are responsible to the Auto Club for the conduct and service demands of their Associates.
AAA Auto Pay
If you are enrolled in AAA Auto Pay, your membership dues will be on automatic payment and your membership will renew automatically each year for
one (1) year unless you call us at 800.222.3612 or visit your local branch to cancel AAA Auto Pay or your membership prior to your Auto Pay date. Each
year, we will send you a statement of your current services and renewal dues amount no less than thirty (30) days prior to your expiration date. We will
charge the dues shown on your statement seven (7) business days prior to your expiration date from your stored debit/credit card account on file if
paying by credit or debit card, or about 1 business day before your expiration date from your stored checking account on file if paying with ACH payment.
By providing your phone number, you agree that we may contact you at the phone on file via a prerecorded voice message, auto-dialer, or text
message in the event your AAA Auto Pay fails or in other circumstances related to AAA Auto Pay or your membership. By enrolling in AAA Auto Pay,
you agreed that we can store your credit/debit/checking account information to process future payments. If your card issuing financial institution
participates in the Card Account Updater program, we may receive an updated card account number and/or expiration date for your card on file.
Unless you opt out of the program with your card issuer, we will update our files and use the new information for AAA Auto Pay. We will not receive
updated information if your account has been closed.
Payments that cannot be processed or payments returned unpaid or otherwise rejected by your financial institution may result in cancellation of
AAA Auto Pay enrollment and membership. Returned checks and returned electronic payments may be re-presented for payment. Each returned
payment is subject to a returned payment fee, which may be debited electronically. See AAA.com/ServiceFee for fee amount.
