Your club takes special measures to be prepared for unfavorable weather; however, it cannot guarantee its normal service response under all circumstances and conditions.
During periods of extreme weather or poor road conditions, service requests are sometimes at a volume which creates unusual delays in service. If you cannot wait when these extreme conditions exist, call the nearest available garage for service and obtain an itemized receipt to be submitted to the Club within 60 days for reimbursement consideration.

In the event that AAA service is not available, the Club will assist the member in seeking 3rd party service. The Club will fully reimburse the member for non-AAA facility expense, at the prevailing commercial rate for the region, when the AAA service was not available either within or outside the Club’s assigned territory.
Towing may be legally restricted on certain roadways. When this is the case, AAA will issue a full reimbursement for towing to the nearest exit. Towing beyond the nearest exit will be reimbursed at AAA rates within the policy limits.

If for any reason you are dissatisfied with service, report in writing to the Club’s Emergency Road Service Department. Any discourtesy, unsatisfactory work performed, or defective material used by contract garages will be willingly investigated. Dissatisfaction must be reported within ten days so that the investigation can be made promptly while all the facts are available, prior to having the vehicle repaired. Claims made ten (10) days out from the date of the service call will not be considered. All parts alleged to be defective or misrepresented must be submitted to the Club for examination together with all bills within ten (10) days.
Information is needed for AAA to investigate claims and repairs. If AAA’s attempts to willfully investigate claims are not responded to in a reasonable amount of time, the claim will be permanently closed.
The Club has contracted for the provision of emergency road service with independently owned garages, selected for their ability to provide reliable service. It is understood that the Club shall not be liable to any member for any damage, injury or loss occasioned by or resulting from rendering, or attempted rendering, of emergency road or towing service or any failure thereof. It is further understood that garages are under contract with the Club to perform such services -- they are not agents of the Club, nor is the Club an agent for any garage.
Road service required by members outside the Club’s territory will be provided by the AAA-affiliated club where the vehicle is disabled. Please call the toll-free AAA SUPERNUMBER, 1-800-AAA-HELP (222-4357). Members calling AAA South Jersey for such service will be referred to the appropriate AAA Club.
Battery service may not be available in all areas outside of the AAA South Jersey territory. Please confirm battery service is available with the local AAA affiliated club’s phone operator where the vehicle is disabled at the time service is requested.
AAA South Jersey will provide a renewal notice prior to a Member’s AAA Membership expiring, and renewal dues will be payable by the Member’s expiration date. The following conditions apply to time of payment:
- If payment is made prior to the Member’s expiration date, the Member will maintain the Membership inception year and renewal date.
- If payment is made after the Member’s expiration date, but within 90-days following expiration date, the Membership will remain uninterrupted and will maintain the Membership inception year and renewal date.

Limitations & Exclusions
Primary or Associate members exceeding four (4) service calls in their current membership year may request additional calls, but must pay for service requested.
Only one tow per breakdown is permitted, any further accommodations or services would be arranged at your request and expense.
Road service benefits are available 24 hours after membership purchase. Plus membership benefits are available seven days after payment is received for those purchasing a new Plus membership; Associate members added to an existing Plus membership; and Plus memberships reinstated after more than 30 days past due on dues payment.
AAA Emergency Road Service is intended to help the most members possible with common automobile emergency problems; it is not intended for towing as a convenience. To receive service, proof of membership, vehicle registration and insurance must be provided. Members are required to be on scene at the breakdown location and also accompany the tow to the vehicle destination. There are limits to the kinds of problems for which the Club can provide assistance. For example: service will not be rendered unless a member is with the vehicle or confirmation of prior approval due to extenuating circumstances.
Service does not apply when a vehicle has been driven into an area not regularly traveled such as sand, vacant lots, beaches, open fields or at a place where it is difficult or dangerous for a tow truck to reach. Charges for manpower and equipment will be at the member’s expense.
Service cannot be rendered when a vehicle is snowbound. Extricating/Winching Service: The service provider will remove your vehicle from a ditch, sand, mud, snow, etc., provided the vehicle is no more than 10’ from a normal road or driveway, and the vehicle can be safely reached from a normal road or established thoroughfare. The AAA Club will assess each individual situation, and based on safety precautions and equipment needed, will determine if an extrication or recovery can be performed with light duty towing equipment. Vehicle recovery situations may not fall under terms or roadside assistance membership. If special equipment, more than one truck, or more than one person is required, the associated cost will be at the member’s expense. AAA Plus & Premier benefit - provides coverage to include the delivery of services of a second truck and operator for one (1) hour at the scene. Digging a vehicle out of snow, or rendering service in unplowed streets or driveways are not emergency road service functions.
Service will not be rendered in a service or gasoline station where repair service is available.
Seasonal tire changeover or the installation or removal of tire chains are not emergency road service functions.
Emergency Road Service is not intended as a substitute for the proper maintenance of your vehicle. In fairness to all AAA members, your Club cannot render service repeatedly to a car in need of repair. AAA South Jersey reserves the right to review excessive use of emergency road service as determined by average member use. Excessive use of service may result in membership termination or limitation of emergency road service to the extent that emergency road service will only be provided at an additional charge to the member.
AAA emergency services are dedicated to members who are experiencing true emergencies and those in need immediate rescue. AAA emergency service does not cover vehicle transport, nor do the services cover vehicle transport out of places of repair. These service requests are not covered under terms of membership.
Service is intended for personal, non-commercial use, and only provided for a covered vehicle disablement. An individual’s AAA membership may not be used by a business or organization to provide roadside assistance for its customers, employees, or vehicles, including, but not limited to, taxicabs, limousines, shuttles, and other commercial vehicles for hire.
Towing service will not be provided for the purpose of transporting vehicles due to a purchase, sale, renovation, auction transaction, car show, exhibition, charitable donation, relocation, or any other similar situation. Such tows are considered “convenience tows” and are not covered roadside assistance services.
Without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, AAA South Jersey may seek reimbursement and/or punitive damages from a primary or associate member, or from business entities, for roadside assistance services fraudulently or wrongfully obtained by the primary or associate member, or the business entity. Primary members are responsible for the conduct and the service demands of their associate members.
Service on taxis, buses and limousines is not covered.
Emergency Road Services will be provided to eligible vehicles that were in operation immediately prior to disablement. AAA emergency service is designed to render assistance during emergencies when an unexpected incident disables a vehicle.
Vehicles involved in drag racing, speedway, or raceway driving are not covered under terms of membership. Emergency road service is not available at Auto Auctions or Motor Speedways/Raceway locations. These locations are excluded from service under terms of membership. Other vehicle transportation services outside of AAA emergency roadside assistance will need to be sought at the member’s expense.
Vehicles which AAA has determined to be unsafe due to overloading, or which require heavy duty equipment to safely provide service, are not covered.
AAA will not service a vehicle to which a plow is attached. The plow must be removed by the member before a covered vehicle will be towed.
AAA will not provide service to vehicles located at a repair facility where repairs can be performed, except when it has been confirmed that the repairs cannot be provided or completed. AAA will not remove a vehicle from a closed repair facility.
AAA will not tow a vehicle from the street to the driveway (unless it is obstructing traffic) or from one location to another on the property or at the repair facility, to junk yards, charities, vacant lots or unattended locations.
AAA will not pay for the taxi service from the site of disablement for Basic or Plus members (tow trucks are limited as to the number of passengers they can accommodate). For Basic and Plus members taxi service or other transportation can be arranged at the Member’s expense but if you are a Premier Member are involved in an accident or breakdown, a AAA Representative will assist you with making car rental reservations or other transportation arrangements. Premier members are entitled to (1) Ride Assist Transportation event per year where AAA will reimburse you for the first $20 of expense of the cab fare. Member is responsible for any additional cost, including tip and if Premier Member needs this benefit again within their billing cycle the Member is responsible for all expenses of the cab fare.
Primary or Associate members exceeding the miles of free towing permitted for their elected coverage level must pay for the excess mileage based on current AAA towing rates per mile. Basic members are responsible for payment per mile on towing that exceeds three (3) miles, as well for tow truck tolls incurred during the tow. Plus members are responsible for payment per mile on towing that exceeds one hundred (100) miles, as well for tow truck tolls incurred during the tow. Premier members are responsible for payment per mile on towing that exceeds one hundred (100) or two hundred (200) miles; Premier members are covered for any tow truck tolls incurred during the tow.
Mobile Battery Services
Price does not include tax and environmental fee. Certain vehicles, due to the location of the battery, may require both additional time and labor cost to install. Acceptable forms of payment are check or credit card.
AAA will provide a copy of the battery test results to each member that has a battery test performed. Price does not include tax and environmental fee. Certain vehicles, due to the location of the battery, may require both additional time and labor cost to install. Acceptable forms of payment are check or credit card.
Although AAA offers 24-hour, coast-to-coast service, it cannot and does not necessarily guarantee service under all conditions and circumstances, especially on toll roads where AAA service vehicles are not permitted. Delays may occur due to reliance upon the human element. In these situations, reimbursement request may be made to the member for covered emergency road services. However, our record is unique. A stranded motorist is rescued every five seconds, around the clock and around the nation. When AAA access is restricted, it is the member’s responsibility to contact AAA as soon as AAA service can be obtained. Example: when towed to the nearest exit of a toll road, AAA must be contacted to provide service beyond that point.
The Club contracts with qualified garages and facilities to perform quality repairs under the umbrella of AAA’s Approved Auto Repair Program (AAR). AAR shops in the AAASJ coverage area also provide a 10% discount to AAA members on labor up to a $50 maximum benefit. AAR repairs are backed by a 24-month/24,000-mile nationwide warranty. However, not all stations are equipped to perform all repairs on imported or domestic cars which may be required by members. Therefore, the Club cannot guarantee the availability of repairs at all facilities.
When your vehicle is towed to the AAA Approved Repair facility, your vehicle’s problem will be assessed and/or repaired within 60 minutes of arrival at the facility. If the work cannot be completed in one hour, you will receive a written estimate of the time and cost to perform additional diagnosis (if needed) or complete the repair. If repair cannot be completed the facility will assist you in obtaining alternate transportation. This could be a shuttle service, a loaner car, or help in arranging for a taxi or rental vehicle.
