We do and it's so worth it! Just this morning I called in for a service call for a battery diagnostic. They'll come out with a battery for our car and can change it on scene if need be. So hassle free! We've definitely used the towing service the most. 
I don't think we use the membership to our full advantage though. What's your favorite membership perk?

Definitely worth it. We used the battery diagnostic/jump twice this year! Thankfully only used the tow service once, but it's good to know it's there.

Yes! We use the hotel discounts the most. But we have used the towing service once this year already. Totally worth it for peace of mind.

Haha I've never seen it written out "triple A" (AAA). We have it and get a discount on car insurance from it. I used to use it alllll the time when I had a crappy old car, but I haven't needed it in a while (knock on wood).

DMV services. I made a big mess this year by not notifying the DMV of my change of address. As a result I didn't get my registration notice. When I realized what I did I went to AAA to do the change of address and pay for regristration. Naturally it ended up being a year I needed a smog check so I had to do that and make another trip back to AAA to get my tags. I was done with everything in one hour. I would have had to take two afternoons off to do that at the DMV.

Yep! We've used it for a battery change and tow service though we don't nearly use it enough. Oh and for hotel discounts! Def worth having though!

I've never even looked into it, but I should. We had to use our friends' last year when I locked my keys in my car at their house. But my FIL owns a vehicle repair and tire shop on the side, so we just make them come get me whenever something happens. That only works locally, though, so AAA might be a good idea. Thanks for making me adult today, @regberadaisy.

Yup- my dad keeps all his kids on his account so he knows we are always safe! I haven't had to use it too often but when we do, it's so helpful! This year we got a flat (in our garage!) and they helped get me to a garage to get it fixed.

DH doesn't anymore, but I do. My parents have given each of their children a AAA membership every year since we started driving. Honestly though I forget to use it for non-car related things

@Shutterbug: hehe I was being silly!
@BananaPancakes: dear friend, you're welcome.

We do for the past 2 years now. Haven't had to use it, but it's good to know we have it.

Yep. I've had it either on my parents account or my own or then shared with DH since I started driving!

DH does. My car is pretty new and still has roadside assistance and is under warranty.
I always forget to use it for hotels.

We do have it and it is nice to have the peace of mind. My husband mostly uses it for work because his work vehicle is in rough shape and he drives all over the place for work. His company used to pay for it but the old boss retired and the new boss is trying to crack down on expenses.
When we were planning our honeymoon we went to the AAA office and they were somewhat informative and gave us some maps. We use the hotel discounts when we travel.

We do and it's so great. We had a tire blowout on a road trip so I called AAA, bought a membership over the phone and immediately had them request service. They were there within an hour and we were in the middle of nowhere. It was awesome!

We just renewed our AAA membership, I have been a member since I was 16 on my mom's account. I've used them to change a few flat tires and be towed before. I also use their travel agency services a few years ago to plan a trip to Hawaii. It is totally worth the money!

We do, there was a period about two ago when we were both having car troubles repeatedly, but since we became members we haven't used it once for car issues and only for discounts. I feel like if we cancel our membership we will need it again.

Yes, love it! With one ancient car, we use it far more than we'd like to. We use it for travel and admission discounts too. We also have their credit card with gas discounts.

I've had it on the past, but now just have roadside assistance through my car insurance. It's much cheaper ($7 or $14 for the year, I can't remember) and it covers lock-outs, battery charges, tire changes and towing.

Used to work there a few years ago and there are so many services people don't know about besides the car stuff! Each region varies but there are great discounts for Disney and Universal tickets, hotel discounts, super knowledgable travel agents, local park/zoo tickets at a discount, cityguides/maps/tourbooks! Not a lot of young people take full advantage of their memberships.
