That's aaa.com

Introducing an all new aaa.com—we’ve given our website an all new look and made it even easier to use. You can renew your membership, shop for fee-free travel services, view our extensive library of automotive resources, find valuable Show Your Card and Save® offers, create customized Internet TripTiks® and much more.

No User ID and Password to Remember
All you’ll need to access the new aaa.com is your AAA membership number (found on your AAA membership card) and your home zip code. It’s that easy! You’ll find it’s now much simpler to view aaa.com content that is reserved especially for AAA members.

Fee-Free Travel Services
Making travel plans and reservations is FREE for AAA members. You won’t find the service fees on aaa.com that most online travel services charge. This means that AAA members often have access to the lowest fares found on the Net! To add to the savings, aaa.com features AAA members-only pricing and discounts on many travel services that are only available to our members. Visit aaa.com/travel to browse the aaa.com Travel Services content.

aaa.com Travel Savings
Hotel rates available through aaa.com are generally lower than those of four travel websites, according to new, independent research.

The research , conducted by PhoCusWright Inc., and completed in December 2004, compared AAA’s online rates in 20 key metropolitan areas with those of Expedia, Hotels.com, Orbitz and Travelocity, where rates were available.

The PhoCusWright survey went on to say that “AAA offered a lower rate more often than each of its four online competitors, in a side by side comparison where rates were available.”

See Properties Before You Book
With the AAA Online Tourbook®, users can read descriptions of lodgings and their amenities, access Diamond Ratings and see photos of a hotel prior to making a reservation. Our Internet TripTik and aaamaps.com are interactive with the Online Tourbook, allowing you to click and see hotel proximity to attractions, restaurants, airports or even a relative’s address. Best of all, AAA has been evaluating hotels and restaurants since 1937 with full time inspectors. Our trademarked AAA Diamond Ratings® program will help you make an informed decision regarding the property and its amenities.

Simply Better Driving Directions
AAA’s Internet TripTik is the online trip planning tool The Wall Street Journal calls its Top Choice among online mapping tools. To get where you’re going, give aaamaps.com a try and see why we think it’s the best.

Automotive Resources
Auto information central is aaa.com, making your car ownership experience more satisfying. Before hitting the road, AAA members can learn to drive safely, use fuel more efficiently, ensure their vehicles are in good working order and more. Visit aaa.com/auto for more information.

Show Your Card and Save
Whether you are traveling around the world or driving in your neighborhood, your AAA membership provides you a world of value. Many members save more than the cost of membership every year! A complete listing of Show Your Card and Save discounts is online at aaa.com/save.
