There are multiple ways to contact AAA for 24/7 roadside assistance.

The fastest and most efficient way is to use the AAA Digital Roadside Request online tool, or text HELP to 800-AAA-HELP (800-222-4357) and we will send you a link to request service. After answering a few quick questions, help will be on the way. While you wait, you can stay updated with text messages from your technician and track their arrival.

If you prefer to speak to a AAA call counselor, you can call (800) AAA-HELP or (800) 222-4357.

You can also use Amazon Alexa or Google Home/Assistant. For Alexa, when you need roadside assistance, just ask your digital assistant to help make the call to AAA. For Google, say “okay Google, talk to AAA road service.”
