Your AAA benefits pay up to $500 in services per RV/motorcycle service event, and you will be responsible for any costs incurred over that amount at the time of service. 
We will provide you with a good faith estimate of such additional charges, for which you are responsible to pay for at the time of service. 
Service providers will accept payment via credit or debit card.
