I've had AAA for many years & find it invaluable. Yes, they have great maps & tour books. I have AAA Plus which is a bit extra but includes towing. We used it last year to have a pickup towed. The membership was in my name, not my friend's but because I was riding in the vehicle, AAA assistance was available with no problem. That paid for the year's membership right there! If your husband has a membership, I don't think you really need one because I think you can use his number. Only reason I can think of, for you to have membership is if you drive a lot by yourself & don't have the card with you. Then probably it would be convenient to have your own.
