17 AAA Perks You Might Not Know About

So. Many. Discounts.

AAA. It's something you have for emergencies (look at you, so responsible) but rarely use. Turns out, that’s kind of a waste, since there are actually a ton of useful membership perks that could save you cash on everything from anitbiotics to car seats. Here are 17 of the ones we didn’t know about but are now very into.

1. Discounts on home and auto insurance
Comes in handy when you live with a not-so-great driver.

2. Free maps and travel guides
So you don’t end up wandering around Sedona aimlessly.

3. Discounts at more than 150,000 retail locations around the world
Take this as a sign to finally get that dress you’ve been eyeing.

For when you’re runnin’ on empty.

8. Access to AAA’s in-house travel agency
When the last thing you want to do is shell out even more money on an agent.

Including daily credit monitoring, fraud support and lost wallet assistance.

13. Discounts on rental cars

14. Roadside assistance even when you're not driving

15. In-office DMV tasks
Yep, some states let you renew your license without ever stepping foot in the DMV. Rejoice.

16. Discounts on new cars
Get that new car smell for a few less dollars.

17. Something called a Guaranteed Arrest Bond Certificate
Which means that AAA will give you $1,000 to cover bond if you don't have enough cash after a traffic violation. And no, that's not a joke.
