Introduction to AAA or Triple A Insurance
AAA Insurance is an insurance company focused on property insurance for car-owners. Founded in 1902 and headquartered in Heathrow, Florida the company has a long history of focus on car owners through what was originally a local club-based membership system.
What Kinds of Insurance Does AAA Insurance Offer?
AAA Insurance sells a variety of personal insurance lines — auto, homeowners, renters, condo, earthquake, flood, pet, umbrella, landlord, and life as well as commercial business insurance lines.
Does AAA Insurance Sell Auto Insurance?
Yes, AAA's primary products are auto insurance and homeowners insurance often bundled together. They have had success in reaching buyers through car clubs and a bundle of other car-related services that come with a AAA membership. Other reviewers refer to them as being "more expensive than most other popular providers."
In addition to auto, AAA offers auto and homeowners coverage, often coupled with services, some of which have become eponymous like roadside assistance, with their insurance products.
Does AAA Insurance Sell Homeowners Insurance?
AAA Insurance also sells homeowners insurance. They strongly encourage purchasing multiple personal lines properties— called "bundling"—with auto insurance. If you purchase bundled insurance through AAA the higher total value of the bundle can make the 5% membership discount that comes with auto club more worth investigating.
