Better World Club was founded to prove that essential services can support both people and the planet. What began as the first sustainable roadside assistance provider in the United States has grown into a values driven club designed to help environmentally conscious consumers access everyday services that align with their principles. For more than two decades, the company has offered carbon neutral roadside assistance, environmentally responsible auto insurance options, and travel services rooted in sustainability, while donating a portion of revenue to environmental advocacy and causes working to protect ecosystems and advance climate solutions. Today, Better World Club operates as a member driven platform that rewards and encourages more sustainable choices. Members who drive hybrid, electric, and other green vehicles receive enhanced benefits, supporting a broader shift toward cleaner transportation. As a Certified B Corp, Better World Club is committed to using business as a force for good, balancing purpose and performance, and continually improving its impact on members, communities, and the environment.
