Here are the member services provided by the AAA Colorado branch, with the benefits and drawbacks listed.

Emergency Road Services: the number one job of AAA organization is to assist its members with emergency road services. No one wishes for emergency, but they do happen and so to be able to handle it, you want to make preparations for the unexpected. AAA road side assistance includes getting you directions to your travel destination, reservations, or accommodations. They give you discounts and assist in making arrangements for your lodging, driving arrangement, and more.

Car Buying: AAA also gives you assistance in purchasing your next vehicle. If you are in the market looking for a gas efficient vehicle due to the high cost of gasoline, or if you want to buy a SUV because they are cheaper now since their demand is less with the soaring gas prices, AAA will help you find your car, get a good deal for you through negotiation of price, set up financing for the car loan, and even set up maintenance for the car while it is in your ownership. If you want o sell your car, they can also help you make the arrangements to have it sold.

Insurance Services: AAA has insurance products for the unexpected. They have life, health, homeowners, and automobile insurance to assist you as your point of need. Earthquake assistance is also available.

Financial Services: AAA issues visa or travelers checks to members in financial difficulty. AAA has connections with various organizations so that your membership will also entitle you to discount prices on things like movie rentals, car rentals, purchasing flowers from certain vendors, and many other entertainment discounts and products.

You can't lose with AAA membership. The many products, financial, roadside, insurance, and entertainment services provided are just remarkable that everyone would benefit from being a member. The benefits you will enjoy end up paying for the money spent as a member, which is not a lot. They give you tips on a lot of things and help make your travel as pleasant as can be.

The one drawback I would mention is that on rentals, there are often specifications on the type of cars you are allowed to rent, unless you are willing to pay extra out of pocket fee. This is not a major issue though, since a lot of other insurance do the same. Else, people will go and rent a limo at the expense of the insurance company. There you have it.

Cost to be a member: the primary applicant pays $69 for a year, and the associate applicant pays $33 per year for the basic plan.
