The best alternative to AAA roadside assistance is a motor club membership with Better World Club, Good Sam, or Allstate Motor Club. Another good alternative to AAA is purchasing a roadside assistance add-on from your car insurance company.
Insurance companies like Nationwide and Travelers offer different levels of roadside assistance coverage to choose from. Better World Club, Allstate Motor Club, and Good Sam also offer several coverage options. Drivers can find protection comparable to AAA by comparing the coverage limits of a competitor’s plan with their desired level of AAA membership. Just bear in mind that AAA costs vary by region, and each level of membership comes with different benefits.

It’s also worth noting that AAA ranked below many competitors in WalletHub’s roadside assistance study because it has a large number of unresolved customer complaints. For more information, check out WalletHub’s picks for the best roadside assistance plans.
