Both AAA and Amica have become big names in the auto insurance business since they were founded in the early 1900s. They’ve also developed their own strengths and weaknesses between then and now. AAA is known for its three-tier roadside assistance service and easy-to-use online components. Amica is quick to follow up on accidents and efficiently works through the claims process.
However, Amica also is known for dropping customers without advanced notice. And AAA charges customers who make more than four service calls for roadside assistance in a year. Still, both companies provide plenty of discounts, and both have excellent financial ratings.
So which one offers the discounts, services, and even customer ratings that best fit your car insurance wants and needs? Keep reading to find out.
