Almost immediately after the first horseless carriages appeared on America's roads, motorists began organizing automobile clubs. In 1902, only 23,000 cars were in operation in the country compared with 17 million horses. March 4, 1902, 50 small motor clubs formed by motoring enthusiasts across the country met in Chicago, and founded the American Automobile Association. More than 100 years have passed, but from its inception, AAA has dedicated itself to the future of transportation through support of safe, efficient highways and a multi-modal transportation system that is accessible and affordable to everyone.

AAA provides benefits to members traveling in 130 countries on six continents through affiliations with other motoring clubs around the world. AAA is a fully tax-paying organization. AAA is a not-for-profit organization of motor clubs serving more than 59 million members in the United States and Canada.

We exist for our members and judge everything we do by how well it serves their needs.
