Free Notary Services

Did you know there's free notary public service for members available at many AAA branches? AAA Auto Club South has 240 notaries in 68 branches who provide the service to AAA members. This convenient service can save members not only time, but money—from $3 to $10 per page, depending on whom you would have to see to get your document notarized (bank, realtor, individual, etc.).

The broad range of documents we currently notarize includes auto loans, marriage licenses, last will and testaments, powers of attorney, and more. For more information, call or visit your nearest branch office.

Notice to Members: As of July 3, 2006, AAA Auto Club South increased its Plus membership dues by a nominal $2 for AAA Plus primary and associate members. This adjustment was necessary to maintain the quality and scope of AAA services.

Medical Rider Option: Your AAA membership renewal billing will include an additional (optional) $6 per member to protect you with the $1100 Optional Medical Rider. This rider provides an additional $1100 for medical treatment for injuries caused by an accident covered under your personal accident policy. A letter of explanation will be included with your renewal statement.

You Live in a Flood Zone

No matter where you live, you live in a flood zone—everyone does. It's just a question of whether you live in a low-, moderate- or high-risk area. In fact, 25 percent of floods occur in low-to-moderate risk areas. And just because you don't live on the coast or near water doesn't mean you shouldn't be alert to hurricanes. While storm surge is always a potential threat that comes with hurricanes, more people have died from inland flooding in the last 30 years than from coastal storm surges.

To protect yourself and your family against the high cost of flood damage, visit your local AAA branch office or go to aaa.com/flood for a flood insurance quote. Just for getting a quote, you will be entered into a drawing for one of three Troy-Bilt generators that AAA is giving away this summer.

50th Anniversary

At the recent celebration of the 50th anniversary of the introduction of interstate highways in Tennessee, (L-R) AAA Auto Club South Regional Director Jim Bruhn, TDOT Commissioner Gerald F. Nicely, and the honorable John Hood, Tennessee State Representative and a member of Auto Club South's Tennessee Advisory Board and the club's Board of Directors, stand next to a 1956 Buick (provided by Charles Bugg of Murfreesboro) on a AAA flatbed wrecker. The photo was taken at the Bicentennial Mall in Nashville just prior to a "convoy" departing south on I-65 in celebration of this historic event in Tennessee's transportation history.
