How much will a AAA jump start cost?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a member of <a href=\"\/reviews\/car-insurance\/aaa\/\">AAA<\/a>, you won\u2019t have to pay anything for a jump start, as long as you\u2019re within your allowed number of service calls for that membership year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"AAA-jump-start-service\">AAA jump start service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your car won\u2019t start, call the number on your AAA card, and a service technician will come out and attempt to jump start your vehicle. If your car won\u2019t crank after the jump, AAA will tow it for you. The distance of your eligible tow will depend on your membership level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should I tip AAA for a jump start? While you can tip the AAA technician if you want to, it\u2019s not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AAA Mobile Battery Service<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use AAA\u2019s Mobile Battery Service if it\u2019s available in your area. A service technician will come to your location and test your battery. If it\u2019s not holding a charge, you can purchase a new one from the technician and they\u2019ll install it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AAA\u2019s Mobile Battery Service is included in all membership tiers, but it\u2019s not available in all areas or for all vehicles. The basic jump start service is available for all members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: Your AAA battery replacement cost may vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many times will AAA jump start my car?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>AAA members are allowed four free service calls per membership year, including jump starts and battery service. Beyond that, you\u2019ll have to pay a $100 service charge for each roadside assistance call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You do not get additional free service calls with upgraded AAA membership tiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you call AAA for a jump start if you\u2019re not a member?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not a member of AAA but you need roadside assistance, you can purchase a membership and request a jump start immediately. Just be aware that you\u2019ll have to pay an additional service fee for using your new membership within the first 48 hours, and this fee can vary depending on where you live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AAA memberships vary across the country depending which AAA region you live in. Your best bet is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aaa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visit the AAA website<\/a> and enter in your home zip code to get specific pricing and benefits available on their three tiers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>AAA Classic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AAA Plus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AAA Premier<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep in mind:<\/strong> Even if you don\u2019t have AAA, you may have roadside assistance through your own car insurance provider or as a perk through your credit card or cell phone provider. Be sure to check the fine print on each of your policies to find out what coverage you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jerry-meet-experts\" data-wp-interactive=\"jerry\/meet-experts\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;modalVisible&quot;:false}\">\n  <div class=\"font-circular text-2xl font-extrabold text-slate-900\">Expert-driven.
