AA Home Response Plus Discontinuation FAQs

AA Home Response Plus is being discontinued and will no longer be available for renewal and new purchases after 28 September 2026.

After this date, you can subscribe to AA Home Response, which still gives access to our trusted trades for emergency call outs on a pay-as-you-go basis.

You can also use Book a Job for scheduled non-emergency repair, maintenance, and installation work – everyone can use this service, even if you don’t subscribe to AA Home Response.

We’re simplifying our subscription options to deliver the best balance of cost and value, so we can continue providing a reliable, high-quality service for our Members and customers. 

  • AA Home Response Plus gives you 24/7 access to AA-trusted tradespeople for covered home emergencies, and it includes six emergency callouts a year with the callout fee and first hour of labour included. You only pay if additional time or parts are required.
  • AA Home Response includes the same emergency assistance service, but you pay for each callout and repair costs.

In short, AA Home Response Plus includes up to six emergency callouts a year, whereas AA Home Response has a pay-per-callout fee.

It depends on how often you use emergency home assistance services. AA Home Response has a lower annual subscription cost and you'll pay only when you use the service, which may cost less if you use the service infrequently.

You don’t need to do anything right now.

Your current Response Plus subscription will continue for the full term of your subscription.

If you are an AA Insurance home/landlord policy holder:

  • An AA Home Response subscription is included as part of your insurance policy, so you can book most emergency services on pay-per-callout basis
  • You can use Book a Job for scheduled jobs and pay-per-callout

If you are not an AA Insurance home/landlord policy holder you can:

  • Subscribe to AA Home Response to continue to access to emergency job support
  • Use Book a Job for scheduled jobs and pay-per-callout, even if you don’t subscribe to AA Home Response

No.
