Once you become an AA personal member, you can enjoy benefits on a wide range of products and services, and not just in the UK.

Indeed, AA have international schemes in both Europe and North America - which can help you save up to the cost of your AA membership. From theme parks to great days out, AA have motoring and travel discounts for all the family.

Besides enjoying all the peace of mind that comes with AA, you can also enjoy free, easy-to-follow driving directions with help from AA Route Planner, plus other benefits.

With AA you can obtain breakdown cover for your vehicle in the UK from just pennies a day. There are several similar types of car breakdown service available, not least of which is the well-known RAC Breakdown, but AA has plenty to distinguish it from other breakdown services; here are just a few of the ways:

* AA has around 3,600 of their own uniformed patrols - so, wherever you may be in the UK, AA is never far away from you
* AA patrols are highly trained and equipped - so they can get you on your way again quickly
* AA always find the fastest route to you - with the help of global positioning and satellite navigation
* AA doesn't charge extra for labour - (if a roadside fix takes longer than expected)
Also, when you sign up for AA, you are the member - not the car. That means, with AA personal membership, you are covered 365 days of the year, 24 hours a day, in any vehicle.

So, when you join up with AA you can rest assured that you're in safe hands, with the most trusted name for UK breakdown service.

With AA it's good to remember that it's you that is covered, and not the car. This means that no matter what vehicle you're in, or whether you're the driver or a passenger, in the event of a breakdown you can still use AA for assistance.

You can also extend this same AA protection to your partner and family. As a member of AA, you are entitled to discounts on many other products and services AA provides too. And, when you sign-up or renew your AA, AA will send you a booklet which contains details of the preferential rates for these useful services.

AA have also teamed up with a number of other organisations to bring you a range of great motoring-related money-saving offers. The free AA booklet contains details of how you can take advantage of all of these.
