Allstate has a wider variety of discounts than AAA. But AAA has a higher rating from the Better Business Bureau (A+) than Allstate (A-). Both companies have excellent roadside service coverage options. But AAA comes out as the stronger of the two because of its three-tier roadside assistance system.
