Question

Can I get AAA roadside assistance without having insurance with them?

I'm very happy with my auto insurance provider, but I would like a more comprehensive roadside assistance plan. Is it possible to keep my policy active with Allstate but have roadside coverage with AAA?

You should be able to purchase roadside assistance with AAA without switching your car insurance coverage from Allstate. AAA's roadside coverage is actually offered separate from their auto insurance policies for this exact reason. Keep in mind that most roadside assistance plans offered in conjunction with separate auto policies have major stipulations and towing restrictions, so if you travel a lot, it might be a good idea to get a more "beefed up" roadside policy.

You could also look into what Allstate offers in terms of roadside assistance as well. Check out our article on standard roadside assistance coverage vs AAA to learn about the pros/cons of each.
