Rediscover the joy of travel

With the kids grown, the world is your oyster. Whether you're planning a dream vacation or a spontaneous weekend getaway, your AAA Membership offers substantial travel discounts.

Vacation planning and discounts

Your AAA Membership unlocks special rates and perks for a variety of travel experiences. You can find deals on cruises plus a free travel agent, making it easier to explore new destinations without the stress of planning every detail. From cruises to guided tours, AAA Travel Agents can help you save on accommodations wherever you go. AAA Travel Agents are knowledgeable professionals who can help take the stress and hassle out of planning. They’ll ensure you make the most of exclusive member benefits and in-market offers, so you can focus on enjoying your journey. They can also help you find trusted partner hotels with Diamond Designation that offer member-only rates, allowing you to save on accommodations wherever you go. 

Protect your vacation investment 

Even the best-laid plans can encounter the unexpected. Allianz Travel Insurance provides support and peace of mind from the moment you book until you return home, with benefits including:

Seamless car rentals and airport perks

Planning your road trip adventure is exciting, especially when choosing the perfect vehicle. Whether you’ve always wanted to cruise in a Ford Mustang or dream of driving a convertible, renting a car can be a great option. It allows you to avoid putting miles on your own vehicle and choose a ride that fits your needs—whether it’s a fuel-efficient compact car or a larger vehicle for extra luggage. With Hertz, AAA Members save up to 20% off the base rate, save on prepaid fuel, get free additional drivers and other valuable savings that can extend your road trip budget.

Prioritize your health and wellness

This stage of life is an ideal time to focus on your physical and mental well-being. Your AAA Membership can help you access health and wellness services at a reduced cost.
