How to Cancel AAA Membership in 3 Easy Steps
Here's help with deciding to cancel AAA membership or keep your AAA Roadside Assistance coverage and AAA discounts
Life in the subscription age is complicated. We’re accustomed to paying annual fees for services that are largely intangible—everything from file storage to money management. Taking inventory of your spending can sometimes involve making tough decisions.
At AAA, we proudly serve more than 60 million members with ever-changing needs. Families outgrow their insurance policies, corporate travel policies shift, and drivers change professions. Whatever your personal circumstances may be, your feedback helps us continually improve our services so that every member sees return on their investment.
Ultimately, the decision is a personal one. Whether you choose to cancel AAA membership or find new ways to maximize your benefits, we’re here to help.
How to cancel AAA membership online or by phone
If you’ve decided that canceling your AAA membership is the best step for you, we understand and want to make the cancelation process as straightforward as possible. Below is a step-by-step guide to canceling your AAA membership as well as all the benefits that come with it:
Review your membership details. Locate your membership renewal date, as well as any pending automatic payments or prorated refunds you may be eligible for. You can find this information by calling the customer service number on the back of your AAA membership card or by accessing your AAA profile online.
Request cancelation. Within your AAA profile, you’ll find instructions for canceling based on where you live. Follow your club’s steps for canceling via online request form, by phone with a AAA representative, or by visiting your local AAA Store.
Confirm your cancelation. After you’ve canceled, you should receive a confirmation letter (either by email or mail). Be sure to keep this letter for your records.
Still undecided? Let’s weigh the pros and cons
If you’re on the fence about canceling, it might help to weigh the pros and cons. Below are some of the common challenges that our members have shared, along with solutions we’ve found to help them leverage their full AAA membership benefits.
“I’m not saving enough money on travel.”
Travel discounts are one of the best features of AAA membership. If you’re not saving enough on hotels, rental cars, and other travel expenses, make sure you’re booking with preferred AAA travel partners. In addition, working directly with a AAA Travel Advisor—whose services are included at no extra charge—can often yield deeper discounts and exclusive perks.
“I don’t drive enough to pay for AAA Roadside Assistance.”
While it's a good thing you haven't had any roadside emergencies, remember that there's more to AAA Roadside Assistance than towing. Anyone can get a flat tire, run out of gas, or get locked out of their vehicle at any time. Plus, discounted vehicle maintenance services can come in handy for any driver.
In addition, it’s important to note the benefits of AAA membership that go far beyond car care. For instance, the TripTik® travel planning service, discounts on dining and shopping, and access to exclusive events can be valuable even if you’re not using roadside services regularly.
“I don’t travel for work anymore, so I don’t need premium services.”
If you’ve been a Plus or Premier member but no longer need the extended towing or additional travel benefits, consider scaling back to a Classic membership. This way, you still have access to essential services without paying for features you no longer use.
