Be prepared for winter
Snow. Sleet. Slush. And don't forget black ice. Ontario winters can throw a lot your way, but a CAA Membership can help you feel ready for it. Whether you’re preparing your vehicle before the snow flies, dealing with a dead battery on a bitterly cold morning or needing a tow when winter gets the better of your drive, CAA is there when you need a helping hand.
Last winter alone, CAA North & East Ontario handled 178,470 calls across our territory, helping drivers through some of the season’s toughest conditions. And because CAA Membership follows you, not your vehicle, your coverage goes with you whether you’re driving your own car, riding with a friend or travelling as a passenger.
But the value of Membership doesn’t stop at the roadside. CAA can also help you prepare for winter at home, with advice, trusted services and Member savings that can make seasonal maintenance and unexpected weather easier to manage.
On the road or at home, there’s more value in your CAA Membership all winter long.
Thinking of facing winter without CAA?

$730-$960 to tow your vehicle 100 km
