Best Ways to Find an Automobile Club

For drivers who have recently relocated or who have never considered joining an auto club, finding one may be a challenge. Once you track down the auto clubs available in your area, you will have to evaluate each club’s offerings and make a decision.

• Ask family and friends for referrals. Many auto clubs offer discounts for new members who sign up through a referral, so this is a good way to get a recommendation and possibly a discount. This person can also help give you a better idea of what type of services the auto club offers.


• Call your insurance company and ask for a referral. Some insurance companies may provide auto club services or give a discount to policy holders who purchase an auto club membership from a specific company.


• Look up auto clubs in the phone book. This will provide a condensed list of the clubs in your local area.


• Search online for auto clubs. Oftentimes, the top results in search engines are paid advertisements, so look through several pages of results to search through as many clubs as possible.


• Ask your mechanic for advice or a referral. These automotive professionals work with auto clubs and towing companies on a daily basis and will have an inside perspective.


• Research each club and weigh the pros and cons of their services. Make a list of the essential features you are searching for in an auto club, and use this to weigh your decision. Factor in the price for each club and decide whether it is within your budget.
