What is the price for AAA to jumpstart my car?

My car battery died and I’m wondering if I should wait for another car to come by or if I should call AAA. How much will it cost for AAA to give me a boost?

If you are already a
AAA
member, you won’t have to pay anything for a jumpstart. If you’re not a member, you can still get roadside assistance—but it will cost you a membership fee plus a service fee.
Here are the main membership tiers and their annual costs for AAA roadside assistance:
  • AAA Classic: $68—includes 5 miles of towing, fuel delivery, $50 locksmith service
  • AAA Plus: $104—includes 100 miles of towing, fuel delivery, $100 locksmith service
  • AAA Premier: $131—includes 200 miles of towing, fuel delivery, $150 locksmith service
Keep in mind: Even if you don’t have AAA, you may have roadside assistance through your own car insurance provider, or as a perk associated with credit card membership or cell phone service. Be sure to check the fine print on each of your policies to find out what types of coverage you have.
