It's free, simple and secure.

If you're searching for auto insurance or a roadside assistance program, AARP and AAA are both worth considering. Both insurance companies have a strong financial record and offer excellent customer service.

For drivers looking for the cheapest rates, we recommend AAA, which offered cheaper auto insurance quotes for most drivers.

AAA also has greater roadside assistance coverage and discounts, as well as superior overall policyholder satisfaction. However, rates vary depending on your circumstances and driver profile, so we always recommend comparing quotes from multiple insurers to find the best savings on car insurance.

AARP vs. AAA: Compare discounts, roadside assistance and coverages

AAA offers a greater variety of discounts and a more robust roadside assistance and service program than AARP.

AARP vs AAA: Discounts

AAA offers more discounts to car insurance policyholders than AARP, including for telematics, new vehicles and annual mileage. Overall, however, both insurance companies offered similar discounts.

The discount frequently differs based on location, driver profile and other variables. Insurance companies may also cap the total reduction in annual premiums, and some discounts may apply only to specific coverages rather than the entire policy.

AARP vs AAA: Roadside assistance and towing

AAA's roadside assistance service is slightly more robust than that of AARP.

AARP offers both emergency roadside assistance services, such as for flat tires or dead batteries, and towing coverage, which helps pay for the towing service and costs of repairs at a car repair shop.

AAA's roadside assistance program, however, is more comprehensive and includes tiered membership levels: Basic, Plus and Premier. All tiers include towing, battery and locksmith service, among other roadside assistance benefits. AAA's coverage tiers primarily differ in the amount of miles available for towing, coverage limits for particular services and a few other perks related to rental car and travel benefits.

AARP vs AAA: Coverages

Both AARP and AAA offer full-coverage car insurance policies that include the standard coverages required or recommended in most states.

The standard coverages at both AARP and AAA include:

Coverage	AARP	AAA
Bodily injury liability
Property damage liability
Personal injury protection (PIP)

Methodology

To compare AAA and AARP auto insurance rates, we collected sample quotes for two driver profiles for a minimum coverage policy in Arizona. Our sample drivers were a 50-year-old and 60-year-old male with a clean driving history.

ValuePenguin's analysis used insurance rate data from Quadrant Information Services. These rates were publicly sourced from insurer filings and should be used for comparative purposes only — your own quotes may be different.
