Welcome to CAA.
Welcome to CAA South Central Ontario (“CAA SCO”). For over 115 years, the Canadian Automobile Association (“CAA”) has
been helping Canadians stay mobile, safe and protected. We are Canada’s largest not-for-profit automobile
association with over two million Members in South Central Ontario. We are also a strong advocate and voice for our
Members on issues such as traffic safety, mobility, infrastructure and consumer protection.
These Membership Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your membership with CAA South Central Ontario (“CAA SCO”, “we”,
“our”, “us”). CAA SCO is the operating name of CAA Club Group in the province of Ontario. Purchase or use of any CAA
SCO Membership ("Membership") at any time subjects the purchaser and/ or user ("you," "your," "yours,” “their,”
"Member") to the provisions of the Terms, as amended from time to time. This is not an automobile liability
insurance contract.
CAA SCO operates as a CAA Club within a specific geographic territory that is designated by the Canadian Automobile
Association. Please note that different terms and conditions (including Member benefits) may apply in different auto
club territories.
By using any of our CAA Member services or benefits, you are agreeing to these Membership Terms & Conditions.
We reserve the right to make exceptions to our service eligibility terms and conditions that may grant greater rights
than stated in this document.
If you do not agree with our Membership Terms & Conditions, please contact us immediately for membership cancellation
assistance.
Terms are subject to change. In the event of any significant changes, these terms will be updated at caasco.com/membership or caasco.com/terms
Section 1.
Membership Accounts, Eligibility and Rules
Membership:
Members who meet the eligibility requirements and who are fully paid up on their Membership Account are entitled to
Member benefits, as applicable. Membership is subject to our approval and acceptance.
Upon enrollment, CAA will mail out a Membership welcome package and Membership cards. Members will receive this
within 7-1 2 business days. Replacement cards are sent out every three years.
Membership Types:
These Membership Terms and Conditions apply to the following CAA SCO Membership types:
- Everyday
- Basic
- Plus
- Plus RV
- Corporate
- Premier
- Premier RV
Your Member benefits and available services may vary depending on your membership type. Not all Membership Benefits
are available immediately. For immediate activation of benefits, such as roadside assistance, an additional fee will
apply. All other roadside benefits become active 48-hours after joining. When an existing Member upgrades to a
higher level of membership, the 48-hour wait period applies to utilize the enhanced benefits. An additional same-day
service fee of $25 will apply to waive the 48-hour wait period for immediate roadside assistance. For immediate
activation, the same-day service fee of $25 will be added to the prorated upgrade fee. The upgrade fee will vary
depending on membership level. The only instance when a Member will not be required to pay a same-day service fee is
if an Associate Member is added to the Membership Account.
Membership Term/tenure:
The Membership Account is valid for one (1) year following the date of activation by the initial Primary Member (the
“membership year”). However, any event of default (including payment default) or suspension of membership may alter
the anniversary date of the membership account, may affect the account’s tenure at CAA, and may result in forfeiture
of accrued CAA Dollars® or other Member benefits.
- Membership may not be paused for any reason including being out of country or illness.
If payment is not received three months after the renewal/ expiry date, the membership will be cancelled and tenure
will be lost. If Member rejoins, they will be classified as a brand-new Member.
Primary Members and Associate Members:
- A CAA Membership account must have one (1) Primary Member, who may designate additional
Members (“Associate Members”) to the Account at any time, by paying additional membership dues according to the
Associate Membership type. There cannot be more than one (1) Primary Member designated to the membership account
at a time.
- All Members must reside in the same household, and the household must be situated within CAA
SCO’s designated club territory.
- The Primary Member is the main membership point of contact for all Members assigned to the
Membership Account.
- An Associate Member can be any age, provided that: (1) the Primary Member must have the
consent of the Associate Member’s parent or legal guardian, when applicable, to be added to the Account; and (2)
the Primary Member must agree to be contractually bound by these Membership Terms and Conditions on behalf of
the Associate Member.
- The Primary Member is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of information for all household
CAA Members. Only the Primary Member is authorized to:
- Request adding any Associate Members to the account.
- Request any changes to the designated membership type of any Member on the account.
note: Associate Members can remove themselves from the account and obtain information about their
own Membership Account.
- Receive invoices, statements of account, and to make inquiries about the transactions on
the Membership Account (including the transactions of other Members linked to the Account).
- A Primary Member is personally invoiced and is personally responsible to pay for the annual
membership dues of all Members designated to the Membership Account. However, certain additional service charges
and fees payable for roadside assistance and other Member services must be paid for by the Member that requested
the service, at the time of service. note: if a recurring Donor has been assigned to the Membership
Account, the recurring Donor will be invoiced for the annual Membership dues. The Primary Member is
responsible for advising all the Members on the account to review the Membership Terms and
Conditions.
- The Primary Member is the default beneficiary of any accrued CAA Dollars®, even if
earned by the Associate Member(s). CAA Dollars® earned in a household by Associate Members are not
transferable between households unless the entire household is moving.
- Each CAA SCO Member is prohibited from having more than one active CAA Membership account at
any given time, and across all CAA Clubs that form part of the federation of the Canadian Automobile
Association. To consult a list of CAA Clubs, visit visit caa.ca/services/find-your-club. Duplicate and/or alias CAA Memberships may be
revoked and are subject to a $50 handling fee. Refunds will not be provided where services have been used on a
duplicate account.
- Only the Primary Member is authorized to appoint an authorized user to the account. An
authorized user can have access to the account, make changes and retrieve information.
Member Identification/Validation:
Each Member must be prepared to show their valid Membership card (in physical or electronic/app form) and
government-issued photo identification upon request to the CAA representative or service provider. The Member’s name
must be visible on the photo ID and must match the name listed in our active CAA Member database. As a Member, you
must be present for service.
Roadside Assistance Service Guide:
caasco.com/auto/roadside-assistance
Roadside assistance is available only to the person named
on the membership card. Other members of your household
who require Emergency Roadside Assistance must have
a membership card issued in their own name to obtain
service. Be prepared. When calling for service, you will be
asked for the following information:
- Your membership number and expiry date.
- Your name and address.
- The location of the disabled vehicle.
- The vehicle's make, model, year, colour and licence plate
number.
- The problem with your vehicle.
- A phone number where you can be contacted.

requesting service.

such transfer is expressly authorized by CAA SCO.
- Membership is non-refundable 30 days after activation.
- Membership may not be used for commercial or illegal

CAA SCO accounts (i.e., using fake/alternate names
or information).

passenger requires additional assistance or special
accommodation (i.e., due to a disability, limited mobility,
travelling with a child in a car seat or travelling with pets/
animals).
- Be responsible for arranging transportation for
passengers of the vehicle being serviced. The service
providers that we dispatch to assist our Members will
only guarantee transportation for the Member who
requested the service, and only if the service provider
determines that the vehicle being serviced is unable to
be driven safely. If it is not possible to accommodate
passengers within safety guidelines, CAA SCO may help
you arrange alternative transportation (additional fees
may apply).
- Not allow services to be provided on any vehicles
or property that is not 100% owned by you, without
first obtaining the appropriate consent of the property
owner(s). You will promptly advise us and our service
providers of any vehicles to be serviced that are not fully
owned by you.
- Promptly relay any communications that we may direct
to your guests and keep all guests and passengers duly
informed who may directly or indirectly benefit from, or
be impacted by, our services to you.
- Understand that our roadside assistance service
providers are independent contractors and not
employees of CAA SCO. You agree to follow our dispute
resolution procedure in the event that you are dissatisfied
with any services provided by our roadside assistance
service providers, approved repair facilities, or other
business partners.
- Be respectful and professional at all times when
communicating over the phone, online, on our premises,
attending any CAA events, or participating in any of our
forums. Do not use your membership as a means for
engaging in fraudulent, criminal or illicit activity.
- Contact CAA SCO to ensure the account is updated
and your subscription, if applicable, in the Automatic
Renewal program is terminated, if you are not renewing
your membership.
CAA’s Right to Revoke Membership:
CAA SCO reserves the right to downgrade, cancel, revoke,
not renew a membership, and we may refuse service at any
time and for any reason permitted by law, including, but not
limited to, failure to comply with these Membership Terms
& Conditions. Personal identifiers will NOT be deleted if
membership has been permanently revoked due to violation
of the Terms, in order for CAA to identify the individual
should an attempt be made to apply for membership again.
At no time will CAA SCO tolerate harassment, intimidation,
threatening or abusive behaviour and/or language
directed at its Associates, service providers, or other CAA
representatives. Upon expiry, non-renewal or cancellation
of membership, all accrued CAA Dollars® and credits
will be revoked without refund or compensation. New
memberships created by previously revoked Members are
subject to immediate revocation minus any outstanding
costs associated with CAA SCO services provided to you or
your Associate Members and subject to a $50 fee.
Changes to Membership:
The terms, conditions, services, benefits, prices, policies
and procedures of your CAA Membership are subject to
change at any time. These terms will be updated at caasco.com/membership or caasco.com/terms.If after
reviewing any change to the terms of your membership,
you do not accept the new terms or do not wish to renew
your membership, you may terminate your membership
as of when the change takes effect.
Membership Dues:
Payment.
- Payment of annual dues can be made in-store, by phone
or online through one of the following accepted forms
of payment; electronic banking (telebanking) or online to
payee "CAA South Central Ontario," Visa, Visa Debit,
Mastercard and Amex. Cheques are also accepted by
mail, made payable to CAA South Central Ontario at:
CAA South Central Ontario, PO Box 4027 Stn A, Toronto,
Ontario, M5W 0G8.
- If you are paying through your financial institution,
please note the funds are not received immediately, and
are usually held for three business days. Membership
dues are due on an annual (365-day) billing cycle.
Dues are subject to change without notice. If your
membership dues are not paid in full on or before your
membership anniversary:
- Your membership will lapse.
- You will not be entitled to Member services or Member benefits.
- You will forfeit your CAA Dollars® balance.
- You will forfeit any benefits linked to your membership tenure.
- Based on the information we have on file, we will send you a renewal notice to pay your
membership dues approximately 30 days prior to the end of your annual billing cycle (except Gift Membership
recipients with a recurring donor). Prompt renewal of your membership ensures there is no interruption in
service.
- Any credits or CAA Dollars® available on your account at renewal will automatically
be applied to your renewal unless CAA SCO is advised of your request to opt out prior to your membership renewal
date. Once opted out, CAA SCO must be informed if you wish to opt back in.
- Please ensure you review your membership renewal notice for accuracy. If any changes are
required, it is the Member’s responsibility to notify CAA SCO prior to the renewal date.
- All membership changes, including additions or deletions, must be authorized by the purchaser
or authorized representative of the membership account. Renewal is for a 12-month period based on the month of
initial enrollment, or most recent renewal, whether or not membership benefits have been exercised.
- Your Membership expires one year after the activation date and will be billed annually on
notice to you (subject to payment of membership fees and any activation procedures). If after receiving notice
of any change to the renewal of your membership, you do not accept the new terms or do not wish to renew your
membership, you may terminate your membership as of the date when the change takes effect or on the renewal
date. Please see our 30-day money-back guarantee policy.
The following costs are not included in Membership dues, and the Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
CAA SCO and its service providers harmless from any liability arising therefrom:
- Cost of parts, labour or repairs in connection with roadside assistance service.
- Costs for towing a vehicle in excess of the covered towing distance.
- Vehicle impound and/or storage fees and related costs.
- Costs relating to vehicle accident clean-up.
- Costs associated with legal infractions.
- Costs incurred as a result of a mechanical breakdown, including lost wages, alternate
transportation, accommodations, etc.
- Costs relating to battery “recharging” (charging is very different from boosting; a boost is a
temporary measure and a charge is considered a repair involving labour charges).
- Costs for highway tolls and/or ferry tolls, and related costs in connection with roadside
assistance service.
Automatic Renewal Program:
When you enroll in Automatic Renewal for the first time, CAA
SCO may give you a discount against a pending or future
transaction. The discount amount is subject to change
without notice and is a ONE-TIME ONLY discount and is
not available if you have already participated in Automatic
Renewal. If you are a participant in Automatic Renewal,
your membership dues will be automatically charged to
your designated pre-authorized credit card on file with CAA
SCO. Based on the terms and conditions of your credit card
issuer, it is probable that your financial institution will provide
us with updated credit card information independent of you.
You will receive an annual renewal notice approximately 30
days prior to your renewal/ expiry date, which will inform you
of the date your pre-authorized credit card will be charged.
If we do not receive any alternative instructions from you,
we will process your membership renewal(s) by charging the
credit card that is registered to your account.
If you are enrolled in Automatic Renewal and would like
to terminate your membership, you must provide us with
reasonable notice before your membership renewal/expiry
date(s).
Additional Charges:
If any payment to CAA SCO or its service provider(s) is
reversed, returned by your financial institution due to
non- sufficient funds (NSF), or declined for any other
reason, we will contact you to collect payment and/
or update your payment information. All membership
benefits will be unavailable until payment is made in full.
Additionally, you may be charged an administrative fee of
$25 per occurrence, including any disputed charge that is
determined to have been validly applied to your account.
CAA SCO reserves the right of set-off for any outstanding
debts owing to CAA SCO or to its service provider(s).
Native Status Tax Exemption:
Members requesting a partial tax exemption (PST) must
provide, in person, a copy of their valid native status card
at one of our CAA Stores each year in order for a partial tax
exemption to apply. If you are unable to attend a CAA Store
in person, tax will be included on the renewal statement
and you can claim the tax exemption through the Ontario
Ministry of Finance.
Purchasing Membership as a Gift:
The rights, obligations and distinctions of a One-time Gift
Membership Donor vs. a Recurring Gift Membership Donor:
Gift Vouchers (have a 12-month expiry and 48-hour wait
period, etc.).
- Customers cannot purchase voucher for pre-existing
memberships or themselves.
Please note: if a RENEWING Donor has been assigned to
the Membership Account, the Donor will be invoiced for the
annual membership dues.

SCO services provided to you or your Associate Members
(including any additional charges as outlined above) up to

For any Deceased Member Cancellations: An executor
of the Member’s estate must provide all pertinent
documentation i.e., Death Certificate & Executorship or

Section 2
Membership Coverage and Roadside Assistance Services
A. BENEFITS FOR ALL MEMBERS (FOR
EVERYDAY, BASIC, PLUS AND PREMIER
MEMBERS):
Bike Assist®:
CAA provides Bike Assist – roadside assistance for your
bicycle. Bike Assist covers motorized bicycles (ebikes),
however two-wheeled scooters and mopeds are only
covered under Plus and Premier Memberships.
If your bike becomes disabled and at CAA SCO or the
service provider’s discretion cannot be repaired on the spot
(i.e., if you do not have a spare tire and/or repair kit) CAA
SCO will arrange to transport you and your bicycle, subject
to the towing limits based on your membership type. Bike
Assist counts as one (1) of your allotted roadside calls
during your membership year. Service will be provided to
cyclists where there is permitted vehicle access and based
on seasonal availability.
Service Providers:
Roadside assistance service providers are independent
contractors and are not employees of CAA SCO. CAA
SCO will not assume responsibility for property damage,
personal injuries, losses or inconveniences caused by the
service provider.
Service providers may offer to deliver services outside
of what the Membership provides for an additional fee,
determined by the service provider.
Liability and Damage Claims:
CAA SCO and its service providers each reserve the right
to contact the police or local authorities upon suspicion of
impaired driving or any other threat to the safety of person
or property.
As a Member of CAA SCO, you hereby understand and
agree that unless the loss relates to the fraud, gross
negligence or willful misconduct of CAA SCO, CAA
SCO’s maximum liability to you, your passengers or any
third parties affected shall be a reimbursement of any
membership dues paid by you in the 12-month period
immediately preceding the loss.
Members must report to CAA SCO any concerns
regarding their vehicle within 24 hours of the initial service
request. After this time any liability is limited to the cost
of membership dues paid within the 12-month period
immediately preceding the concern.
In some cases, such as service to a vehicle with pre-existing
damage, the service provider may ask you to sign a waiver
which identifies pre-existing damage prior to providing
service. The service provider may refuse service if the
waiver is not signed. The service provider may also take
photos of the vehicle for the purposes of documenting
any pre-existing damage, reasons service was denied,
results of a battery test, etc. All photos are strictly
confidential and used solely for purposes in connection
with CAA roadside services.
Certain types of North American and foreign-made cars
(especially those with fiberglass bodies) and vehicles with
owner-made modifications are difficult to provide certain
roadside services to without causing damage. In such
cases, you and/or the registered owner of the vehicle may
be asked to sign a release/waiver of liability assuming
responsibility for any damage that may occur during service.
The service provider may refuse service if the waiver is
not signed.
For vehicle damage or concerns during service, Members
must contact CAA SCO directly to report any damage or
concerns regarding their vehicle within 24 hours of the initial
service request and before any necessary repairs are carried
out. Members should also document the damage. A failure
to report within 24 hours will result in a denial of your claim.
CAA SCO and our service providers reserve the right to
physically inspect and assess any damage claims. The
service provider and/or CAA SCO must be permitted –
within 72 hours after the incident report is forwarded to
the service provider for further investigation – to physically
inspect the vehicle damage and its equipment in order to
determine liability. The Member should not make any repairs
to the vehicle or remove evidence of the damage. In the
event that you do not permit service provider and/or CAA
SCO to physically inspect the damage within the 72 hours,
or if repairs are completed prior to the completion of such
an inspection, your claim will be denied.
While assessing a damage claim, CAA SCO may require
you and/or the registered owner of the vehicle to provide
further information to assist with resolving your claim. Please
be prepared to provide documentation that supports your
claim. Where such documentation has been requested and
is not produced within 72 hours, your claim will be denied.
In the event that a service provider and/or CAA SCO
commits to repair or replace any damaged vehicle parts,
both the service provider and CAA SCO reserve the right to
approve repairs or use replacement parts of a similar kind
or quality. In the event that CAA SCO denies your claim
in whole or in part, CAA SCO will promptly inform you in
writing outlining the reasons for the denial.
The service provider and/or CAA SCO will not pay for
vehicle damage repair costs that exceed the actual cash
value of your vehicle at the time the damages were incurred.
In this case, you may be asked to file your claim with your
insurance company.
CAA SCO assumes no liability if you engage in fraudulent
or unauthorized use of the services or engage in illegal
behaviour.
CAA SCO, including our service providers, is not liable for
any loss, damage or expense relating to unattended tows
under any circumstances.
CAA SCO, including our service providers, is not liable
for any loss, damage or expense where a vehicle has
been involved in an accident, or where a vehicle must be
extricated/winched from an off-road position.
CAA SCO and our service providers seek to deliver service
expeditiously, however CAA SCO, including our service
providers, is not liable for any loss or expense resulting from
the length of time between service request and service
delivery, nor service cancellations and delays.
CAA does not have supervision or control over the
operation or management of service providers and vehicle
repair facilities. In the event of a dispute arising between a
Member and the service provider, CAA SCO may appoint an
arbitrator whose ruling shall be final and binding
on both parties.
Extreme Weather Conditions:
During extreme weather conditions, CAA SCO responds
to calls on a priority basis, providing service first to those
Members whose vehicles are blocking roadways or
posing a threat to personal or public safety. Under severe
conditions, we reserve the right to delay service to Members
whose vehicles are in a place of safety. Your patience and
understanding under these circumstances is appreciated.
CAA Everyday Memberships do not include any motor
vehicle emergency roadside assistance. Please skip over
Section 2(B) if you are a CAA Everyday Member.
B. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE BENEFITS (FOR
BASIC, PLUS, CORPORATE AND PREMIER
MEMBERS ONLY):
Basic, Plus, Corporate and Premier Members in good
standing are entitled to receive a certain number of roadside
assistance service calls per membership year. Service calls
cannot be shared or carried over to the next membership
year. Each service (air, gas, tow, boost, etc.) counts as one
(1) service call provided within your selected membership
year’s allotment (except for relay and select battery service
calls). Once the number of service calls has been exceeded,
CAA SCO will continue to facilitate the roadside assistance
services described above. However, any services in excess
of the roadside assistance “maximums” will be subject to
service provider fees that will be due at the time of service.
For all membership types, any service calls not covered by
membership must be paid for by the requesting Member at
the time of service. Service providers may ask for proof of
insurance, ownership and photo identification.
If the driver arrives on location for the service call and the
Member is not on location with the vehicle, or does not
have proper photo identification, proper documentation
(ownership & insurance), the service call will count as (1)
one used service call. The driver will wait for 10 minutes and
then will clear the call and leave.
Our number one priority is safety. We ask for your
understanding as calls are prioritized based on our
Members’ safety and not necessarily on time of service
request. There may be situations, for example during
periods of extreme weather, where the safety of other
Members may need to be prioritized and service may be
delayed if you are in a safe location. Benefits and services
are subject to change without notice.
Your CAA SCO membership includes the following
roadside assistance services, subject to additional fees, if
applicable. Some services listed below may only be available
within certain CAA SCO geographical areas. All roadside
assistance services are subject to the Limitation of Liability
set out in (Section 2 (A)) “Liability and Damage Claims”.

closer garage.
Battery Service:
Upon purchase of a CAA Premium Battery, service providers
will deliver, install and recycle your old battery at no extra
cost. Please note: you may choose to keep your old battery
for an additional cost that must be paid for by the requesting
Member at the time of service. Battery services may not
be available in your area. Battery service is subject to
vehicle type and may not be available for your vehicle.
This will count as one (1) service call unless a new battery is
purchased at the time of the call. However, an unsuccessful
battery service that results in a towing service call will count
as a single service call.
Battery service is subject to vehicle type and may not be
available for your vehicle. For full guidelines on vehicles
eligible for battery service, please visit caasco.com/battery
CAA SCO and service providers may refuse to provide
certain battery service if it is deemed unsafe (in CAA SCO
or service provider’s sole discretion), when installation
cannot be performed at the roadside, or if the battery is
under warranty.
Battery Warranty & Exclusions:
Battery removal by Member or anyone that is not a
designated CAA approved contractor will void the warranty
and your claim will be denied.
For failed battery claims, CAA SCO will require a failed
battery test result before a battery replacement may
be authorized. You may be required to have a licensed
mechanic run further testing on the health of your vehicle.
This will involve the vehicles charging and starting system to
determine if the battery is the cause of the issue.
Battery warranty does not apply in the following cases: a)
the battery is merely discharged and still serviceable; b) the
container, covers, or terminals are broken; c) the battery
has been frozen or damaged due to neglect or abuse; d)
the battery is damaged due to over or undercharging; e) the
battery fails because of fire, collision, wreckage or explosion
or because of a faulty electrical system; f) a battery is used
in applications for which it was not designed, or is installed
or charged in reverse polarity; or, g) the vehicle has not been
driven for more than 90 days.
For full details on battery warranty & exclusions, please visit:
caasco.ca/battery
For an accurate quote, Member’s need to know their vehicle
year, make, model and engine size.
Payment is made through the driver after completion of
the battery service. A transaction receipt and copy of the
warranty information will be emailed to you through
the driver.
Warranty for the battery is six years. The first three years are
covered 100% subject to exclusions, and the following three
years are a pro-rated guarantee.
Lockout/Locksmith Service:
If your keys are locked in the vehicle, CAA SCO will send a
service provider to attempt to gain entry. If your ignition key
is lost or broken, CAA SCO will reimburse up to $50 CAD
for a locksmith service for Basic Members and up to $100
CAD for all other membership levels. Claim must be received
within 30 days of incident. Reimbursement will count as one
(1) service call. In cases where the locked vehicle cannot be
made operable, towing services will be provided subject to
the Member’s towing coverage. Locksmith service refund is
comprised of ignition work and/or the making of one ignition
key, but extra charges may apply to the Member. Please

the nearest open service station, or in accordance with your
roadside assistance towing service provisions, a tow will be
provided to a facility where fuel is available. Specific brands
or octane ratings cannot be promised. We will deliver gas,

repairs, additional trips to deliver a repaired tire, installationor removal of tire chains, mounting, dismounting
or
shifting of tires and seasonal tire change-overs. To avoid
damage, certain vehicles will require a tow to a repair shop/
garage within the limits of your membership as proper
installation requires that the wheel lug torque be set to the
recommended specification for your vehicle. In the event
that the service cannot be rendered safely due to poor
conditions or maintenance of the spare tire, the service
provider reserves the option of towing the vehicle to safety
to avoid possible damage. Flat Tire Service counts as one

your vehicle safely operable at the roadside have been
unsuccessful. Flatbeds or dollies will be used when
required. Membership includes towing mileage based on
your membership type. A charge of up to $4.50 plus tax
per kilometre will be applied by the service facility to any
additional mileage that exceeds your coverage. Service
wait times can increase if special towing equipment,
which includes flatbeds, is required. Towing equipment is
dispatched in accordance with manufacturer specifications.

not required, may be available for an additional fee. Service
providers will take the most efficient route from pick up
location to tow destination.

own towing service, pay for it and submit the original invoice
(please save a copy for your records) to CAA SCO within
30 days for reimbursement consideration. Reimbursement
for non-CAA provider services will count as one (1) service
call. CAA SCO reserves the right to refuse reimbursement

provider that CAA SCO determines or suspects is related
(i.e., by family, household, friendship, etc.) to the Member;
or, where applicable, is operating without licence and/
or beyond regulatory guidelines with respect to services
provided and fees billed. Additionally, all receipts submitted
will be reviewed for legitimacy. Any receipts determined to
be invalid (in CAA SCO's sole discretion) will result in denial

Reimbursements will be calculated at a "fair rate," which will

- Regulated municipalities – rates posted by the servicer
within the municipality

within regulated municipalities.
Members are required to request the rate card from the tow
truck driver prior to accepting service and ensure that the
rates invoiced match with the rate card. There are often rate
cards printed on the invoice; CAA SCO will not reimburse at
a higher rate than that which is printed on the invoice under
any circumstances.

the vehicle to provide further information when assessing a
reimbursement claim. Please be prepared to provide:

ordered tows).
- Copy of your driver’s licence.

Member’s automobile insurer details in order to subrogate
the claim. Payment may be withheld until the automobile
insurers’ details are provided.
Every effort will be made to issue refunds and
reimbursements within a reasonable time frame (usually
within 30 days). CAA SCO is not liable for any expenses,
including but not limited to, accrued interest, surcharges or
administration fees for refunds or reimbursement.
CAA SCO reserves the right to deny claims where CAA
SCO was not contacted to arrange service, and/or we did
not give direction to a Member to arrange their own service.

Member Rewards
CAA Rewards®:
CAA SCO may change these Terms and Conditions and/
or any aspect of CAA Rewards without notice. CAA SCO
may add, delete or change CAA Rewards partners, modify
any offers provided by CAA Rewards partners or the
accumulation or redemption details regarding CAA Dollars.
Once the partner’s reward points are transferred to CAA
and converted to CAA Dollars, we are unable to reverse
this transaction. If you default on your CAA Membership,
become bankrupt, commit fraud, misrepresent any
information, abuse the privileges granted to you under CAA Rewards or act in any other way to the detriment of CAA
SCO or CAA Rewards partners, we may, without affecting
our other rights, disclose such information requested by
proper authorities, terminate your CAA Membership and/or
cancel the CAA Dollars in your account.
CAA Dollars:
To earn and redeem CAA Dollars, you must be a current
CAA Member in good standing (CAA Membership dues paid
in full by membership renewal date). CAA Dollars cannot
be converted into currency at any time and cannot be
used to purchase CAA Batteries. If there is a lapse in your
membership, you will forfeit any accumulated CAA Dollars.
Your CAA Dollars will be automatically redeemed towards
your CAA Membership renewal dues, unless you have opted
out, and be reflected on your renewal notice generated
approximately 30 days prior to the end of your annual billing
cycle. Any changes in your CAA Dollars balance, within 24
hours of renewal (positive or negative) occurring after you
have been billed will be reflected on your account balance
when calculating your renewal charge. CAA Dollars may be
redeemed against your CAA Insurance renewal premium.
Redemption is applicable once your CAA Insurance
Company auto and/or property policy has been renewed
and your payments are up to date. Applying CAA Dollars
to your first CAA policy term is exempt from the program.
Redemption amount must be greater than five (5) CAA
Dollars and less than or equal to the total policy premium for
the renewal term.
CAA Dollars earned through our CAA Rewards program
are applied as a credit to reduce annual renewal, upgrades
or adjustments to your membership. CAA Dollars are not
considered as a discount, but as a form of a credit and are
applied after dues and applicable taxes.
This credit then reduces the amount payable by the Member
for any CAA Membership renewals or changes which may
result in payment. Using CAA Dollars as a credit allows us to
reduce the amount owing after tax.
CAA Dollars remain the property of CAA and if there is a
lapse in your membership, you will forfeit any accumulated
CAA Dollars.
CAA Dollars earned from our CAA Reward partners will
be uploaded onto your account within 90 days of your
purchase.
