💼 Motor Club Contracting 101: The Why, How & Who

How to Get Roadside Assistance Contracts from Major Motor Clubs

If you’re in the roadside or towing game, one of the easiest ways to get steady work is through motor club contracts. These are agreements between your business and motor clubs like AAA, Agero, Allstate, Geico, and others.

When one of their members needs help — flat tire, lockout, jumpstart, etc. — they send the call to providers like you to handle the job.

Getting these contracts is how a lot of new roadside companies get their first consistent stream of calls. It’s not hard to do, but you do need to be set up the right way.

Let me break it down for you step-by-step:

🔧 Step 1: Get Your Business Ready

Before you apply, make sure your business is legit and meets the basics:

• ✅ Registered Business – LLC, S-Corp, or however you’re set up

• ✅ Insurance – You’ll need general liability and commercial auto, usually at least $1M coverage

• ✅ Equipment – You don’t need a tow truck, but you do need the right gear for the services you’re offering

• ✅ Towbook or Dispatch Anywhere – Some clubs require this or prefer dispatch software

• ✅ Professional Phone & Email – No personal Gmail and trap phone setups — keep it clean

🔎 Step 2: Find & Contact Motor Clubs

Each motor club has its own process, but the more you apply to, the better. Some of the main ones you want to check out:

• AAA

• Agero

• Allstate Roadside

• Geico Roadside

• Urgently

• NSD (Nation Safe Drivers)

• Questx

• Allied Dispatch

Just head to their websites and look for provider applications or join the network pages. Most have an online form you can fill out directly.

📝 Step 3: Fill Out the Applications

Now it’s time to apply. Here’s what to expect:

• ✅ Fill out their online form (business info, coverage area, services, etc.)

• ✅ Upload your documents (business license, insurance certs, etc.)

• ✅ Some may run a background check

• ✅ Others might ask for pictures or an inspection of your vehicle

💬 Step 4: Understand the Rates

Most motor clubs have standard pay rates, but some allow a little room to negotiate.

Pay attention to:

• Base pay for each service

• Reimbursement rules (fuel surcharges, after-hours pay, etc.)

• Response time requirements

• Payment schedule (some pay weekly, some take longer)

📲 Step 5: Start Getting Jobs

Once you’re approved, you’ll start getting service requests — via calls, text, or through apps like Towbook.

To stay active and keep the work coming in, make sure you:

• ✅ Respond fast

• ✅ Deliver good service

• ✅ Document every job properly

💡 Pro Tips From Experience:

• Don’t just sign up with one — apply to multiple motor clubs to increase your volume

• Some clubs pay bonuses for good performance

• If you slack, you can get dropped — so stay sharp
