ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE CONTRACTOR APPLICATION
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Roadside Assistance provider for AAA - The Auto Club Group (ACG). AAA has been the premier motor club for over 100 years. At ACG, we help our members enjoy life's journey with peace of mind, by providing innovative solutions, advocacy and membership benefits wherever and whenever they need them.

You may take advantage of various collateral benefits and opportunities for your business that can be derived from rendering service to AAA Members. You can also take advantage of discounts and savings from national partners like Ford, NAPA, AW Direct, Cintas and Santander Bank, just to name a few.
Our multi-faceted digital dispatch system provides several options for receiving AAA calls. They can be received at your office computer, directly on mobile devices or delivered to the closest truck to the breakdown location with our Auto Vehicle Locator (AVL) technology. This same system provides you with the ability to manage and clear those calls real time. You can also view your weekly pay statement online while enjoying the ease of payment via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), which are deposited each week for calls that were run the week prior.
