Teachers who are joining AAA for the first time can save up to 50% on a AAA membership through ID.me, and you also get a $20 AAA Tickets gift card. The discount is for new members only, so it won’t lower the price of a membership you already have or a renewal.
AAA is the auto club best known for 24/7 roadside assistance. It was founded in 1902 and now serves more than 65 million members across North America with automotive, travel, insurance and financial services. AAA is run by regional clubs, so what your membership costs and some of the perks depend on where you live.
How To Get The AAA Teacher Discount
- Go to AAA Membership on ID.me Shop and sign in to ID.me, or create an account.
- Verify that you’re a teacher. You’ll find out whether your role qualifies when you verify.
- Buy your new membership through the ID.me offer. You’ll get an email with instructions right after you pay.
- Follow the email to redeem your membership online. You aren’t a member until you finish this step.
A few things to know before you buy. Roadside help starts three days after you pay your dues, so don’t wait until you’re stuck on the side of the road. Your membership renews every year on the card you used, and AAA sends a notice about 45 days before it charges you. You can add your spouse, one other adult who lives with you and your kids as associate members, and whether those add-ons are discounted depends on your region.
Extra AAA Perks For Educators
If you live in a state served by the Auto Club Group (Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee, Wisconsin or Puerto Rico), AAA has a page just for educators. Its home insurance covers up to $2,500 for school things you carry to and from class, up to $2,500 for damage to your own computer, and up to $2,500 in stolen funds or goods from a school event with no deductible. Its auto insurance waives your deductible for covered damage to your car while it’s parked on school property. Tutoring on the side is covered too. See the AAA educator page for a quote and for the free K-12 traffic safety lesson plans AAA offers for your classroom.
Once you’re a member, you can also use AAA’s everyday member discounts on things like hotels, rental cars, gas, restaurants and theme park tickets.
