If you are receiving an error message that states you have entered your policy number incorrectly, attempt to enter it again without the given hyphen (-) on your billing statement (example: AB12345) or without the beginning (PAA) if your policy begins with these letters. For homeowners policies, omit the beginning (HO) (example: 1234567).

Please note if your insurance policy includes a past due amount or is paid in full, AAA.com will state the policy number is incorrect. In that case, contact our AAA Member Services Center at (800) 922-8228 (option 1) to make a payment.

If the above procedures do not allow you to view your policy billing information - and your policy is not past due or paid in full - please call Website Support at (888) 929-2911.

Your automatic payment plan will begin within 6-8 weeks from the date that you applied for this feature. Once your automatic payment plan has gone into effect, it will be noted on your statement. Until your statement notes the change, please continue to make your insurance payments as normal.

Automatic payments are normally taken from your designated account within 2-3 days of your insurance policy due date. Your insurance payment amount will vary each month; each month will reflect a lesser amount unless you make a change on your insurance policy.

If you have any further questions regarding your insurance policy, payments or billing, please contact our AAA Member Services Center at (800) 922-8228 (option 1).

If you suffer a loss for which you are legally entitled to recovery and we have already made payment to you under your policy, we may pursue reimbursement from the responsible party or their insurance carrier. At that time, we will attempt to recover any additional repair expenses you've paid.

However, if you are injured, the law does not allow us to present your personal injury claim against another party or insurer. If you have medical payments coverage on your policy, we can assist with your resulting medical bills within the terms, limits and conditions of your policy.

In order to determine who is at fault in an accident, an investigation is conducted as to the facts of the loss.

If there is a police report, it may cite basic facts about the causes of the accident such as whether anyone involved was driving at an unsafe speed for the road conditions, made an unsafe lane change, followed another car too closely, etc. Also, the reporting officer may have included his opinion as to who was at fault or may have issued a citation to one of the parties. All of these factors will be weighed in determining liability.

We will also independently investigate whether all the parties involved followed the rules of the road, and whether one or more parties contributed to the conditions that led to the accident. Once all the facts have been ascertained, a liability decision is reached and the claim is processed accordingly.

If you do not agree with the liability decision reached for your auto insurance claim, please state your reasons in writing and send the statement to us at CSAA, P.O. Box 920, Suisun City, CA 94585.

Be sure to include your claim number. The letter will be reviewed and your concerns will be addressed.

A deductible is the amount of money shown on your policy for which you are financially responsible when you incur a collision or comprehensive loss. Other circumstances may affect the applicability of a deductible.

Payment
When you pick up your repaired vehicle, you pay your deductible amount directly to the repair facility. If a settlement payment is being made directly to you, we will subtract your deductible from that amount.

Reimbursement
If the other driver was at fault and we have pursued a subrogation claim against that driver, we will reimburse you for your deductible once we have collected it. (Subrogation describes the process we undergo when we attempt to recover from the at-fault party any monies paid out by us for damage to an insured vehicle.) For example, if you paid your deductible to a repair facility, we will reimburse you once we collect from the party who was at fault or from his or her insurer. This process can often take some time if the other party or carrier does not respond promptly to our requests for payment.

In order to file a claim for damage to your car, you must first must determine whether you have a "Glass-Only" claim or an "All Other Auto" claim.

AAA has a streamlined glass-only claims process. If you have Comprehensive Coverage, you will be covered for windshield replacement, but you will have to pay your deductible. If the window can be repaired rather than replaced, your deductible will be deferred.

Glass-only claims include:

Damage to the front windshield, driver side glass, passenger side glass and read-window glass
Cracks, chips or scratches to the glass and molding

There should be no damage to the body of the car or interior upholstery, and no missing personal property. If any of these conditions exist, the claim should be reported as an All Other Auto Claim.

All Other Auto claims include:

•  Damage to your vehicle
Damage to another vehicle
Damage to other property
Personal injury caused by an automobile accident
Theft of your vehicle or other personal property

You can file a new claim by calling our toll-free number: (800) 922-8228.

If your automobile was damaged as the result of a loss covered under your auto insurance policy, then we will pay for rental car costs, subject to your policy's limits, terms and conditions. Further, if we are pursuing a subrogation claim against a party who was at fault for the accident, we will assist you in recovering any additional rental expenses you may have incurred as a result of the loss.

However, our motorcycle policy does not offer rental car reimbursements.
