Rank #6 of 7
AAA Jump Start Service Review
Quick verdict
AAA ranks sixth for a driver who needs a jump right now and does not already have a membership. Members get a battery jump start inside the roadside events included with Classic membership, listed at $64.99 a year. A non-member who wants immediate help is told to buy a Classic membership and pay a $75 fee. That is a real option. It is not a published per-jump price.
