- Does my membership cover my spouse or children?
- Both the member and the member's spouse (or associated member) are covered under the member's plan at no additional cost as long as the spouse/associated member are living in the member's household and hold a valid driver's license. Unfortunately, dependents are NOT covered under the member's plan and cannot be added to a member/spouse plan. However, dependents can certainly be covered under their own membership, if applicable.

- No. The subscribing member must simply have a valid driver's license and form of payment to register for the service.
- Where am I able to use the service?
- If you need roadside assistance anywhere in the United States, Puerto Rico or Canada, simply call the toll-free service number listed on your membership card.
