Auto motor clubs are organizations that individuals can join for a yearly fee. Members are generally given a membership card and benefits, ranging from roadside assistance to travel discounts. Some insurance companies offer motor club memberships for a separate fee, allowing members the convenience of having their insurance policy and auto club membership through the same company. Auto motor clubs offer peace of mind; their members know that help will be available when they need assistance related to their automobiles.
