Overview
- German outlets reported Tuesday, citing internal documents, that ADAC plans to raise membership fees by roughly 20% to 25% with examples including Single from €54 to €64, Plus from €94 to €114, and Premium from €139 to €174.
- The club said exact figures are unconfirmed, and a spokesperson noted that the general assembly on May 23 will decide with any change likely to start in 2027.
- ADAC points to steep increases for energy, staff, spare parts, and towing and workshop services after six years without a fee hike.
- Internal discussions touch on whether to keep all current services, and reports say the club expects more cancellations after about 60,000 resignations early this year.
- With over 22 million members and a nationwide roadside network, any increase would hit many households, and rivals are courting switchers as coverage by Business Insider and Die Welt drives the debate.
