Auto clubs have been around for decades and have offered a range of services, from road maps to mechanical assistance in a breakdown. For a yearly fee, drivers who are members of the auto club are given benefits based on membership levels. Even the most basic auto-club membership includes towing services while high-end memberships include bonus services like free car rentals and discounted hotel and motel rooms.

Joining an Auto Club for Rescue Service

While it may be perfectly easy to call a local towing service to come and get your car when it breaks down, this may not always be as safe or reliable in an emergency as an auto-club membership might be. Most drivers don't want to trust their rescue to some unknown tow service that may take an hour or more to show when there's car trouble. Likewise, they don't want to choose one that may not even be available at 1 AM.

The most reputable auto clubs provide 24-hour towing services to members all year, even on holidays. Their service should be available regardless of weather. Even if all a driver needs is to get their car out of the mud, he should be protected by their auto club.
