I used to have AAA. The service in my area was poor due to too many tourist... maybe. I had a couple of occations when service took a couple of hours to reach me. I have not had them since then. I see them as a car assistance service and not a travel discount. There are other discounts that offer similar rates. Last week, I had a company discount for airport parking that was cheaper than the AAA discount. Bottom line, they are a car service company with other benefits. It is up to your needs and peace of mind...
