An automobile association, also referred to as a motoring club, motoring association, or motor club, is an organization, either for-profit or non-profit, which motorists (drivers and vehicle owners) can join to enjoy benefits provided by the club relating to driving a vehicle. There is most often an annual membership fee to join. A membership identification card, valid for the time period of membership paid, is typically issued to the member.
Emergency road service upon presentation of the membership card. Often there is a nationwide network with agreements with various local towing and other emergency road service providers.[citation needed]
Provision of maps, or other tourist or motoring information in some cases, to members.[citation needed]
In some cases, reward stickers or decals may be provided to the member to place in the window of his/her vehicle, offering a reward to someone who locates or reports the vehicle if stolen.[1]
Sometimes certain services related to vehicles, such as transferring ownership, may be provided to members at a reduced cost.[citation needed]
Some businesses, such as motels, may provide members of certain motor clubs with discounts upon presentation of their membership cards.[citation needed]
