How to File AAA Complaints Hassle-Free

Have you ever planned a trip and wished for a travel agent? Broken down on the side of the road and prayed for a quick fix? If you're an AAA member, you have access to these services and more with your enrollment. AAA serves over 60 million members from more than 1,000 branch offices across North America. With this many locations, it seems reasonable that you should get what you need quickly and easily. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. If you would like to file an AAA complaint about a bad experience, DoNotPay can get you started.

How to Reach AAA Customer Service

AAA offers a wide variety of services, including

• Home and Auto Insurance
• Driver Training
• Vehicle Purchase and Warranty
• Hotel and Rental Car Discounts

Each of their 12 departments has its own phone number, service hours, and a contact form. With their focus on travel, three of the departments with the most traffic are

1. Member Services, for enrollment and billing
2. Emergency Road Service, for immediate vehicle needs and feedback on services rendered
3. Travel Contact Center, for planning a trip or making reservations

While AAA membership does come out as an advantage for most people, some customers have been denied the full range of services due to their benefits. AAA members have reported

• Being billed after trying to cancel membership
• Not getting the roadside assistance they were promised
• Getting verbal affirmation that services were covered only to find out they were not at the time of payment

If you have done business with AAA and are unsatisfied with the result, you can try contacting the relevant department to get your issue resolved. Contact information will vary by service area.

Amplifying Your Voice With an Agency

If you feel that you have not been heard while working through AAA's dedicated contact channels, you can file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Before you start the complaint form, ensure that you are filing your complaint with the right AAA office, as complaints cannot be transferred to different locations, and filing with the wrong office may delay your resolution if any can be provided.

When you file, you will be asked some qualifying questions to ensure that the BBB can resolve your problem. You will then be asked for your personal information so the Bureau can contact you. Once your contact information is complete, you can provide details about your incident. Be as specific as possible and include

1. Dates of any calls made to AAA
2. Amounts of disputed transactions
3. Confirmation numbers on purchases
4. Any other information that will help the BBB and your AAA branch link the problem to you.

Taking AAA to Court

Potential Reasons for a Suit

Some AAA members have reported being billed for services they no longer want or did not receive as promised. If you have filed a complaint and received a response that did not address your needs, you may want to sue AAA in small claims court. If you choose to sue on your own, first ensure that you are working with the right parties. AAA will claim that they are not responsible for any service issues or damages incurred by private companies they contract with, so you may want to try filing a complaint with that company first.

Be aware that not all claims are suitable for small claims court. Smaller transactions like membership fees and towing charges will likely be covered, but your state's laws will decide the limit that you are able to sue for. Consult your state's judicial branch website for details. If your case fits the guidelines for small claims court, you will need to file a form to start your case. The fee to file may be included in your award if the court rules in your favor.
