The Perks of AAA Travel Agency
As a member of AAA you are probably aware that you are a part of the nation’s largest travel organization. In Indiana, AAA Travel Agency is the largest vacation travel agency in the state. Why are these facts important to you as a AAA member and why is AAA Travel Agency different than any other large travel agency?
The most compelling reason is the AAA name you trust and our experience. While AAA Travel Agency has been in business for over 100 years, the evolution of AAA has continued to maintain the reputation of the most “trusted name in travel.” Members feel safe and secure when planning vacations with our experienced travel consultants because they realize that AAA represents stability - past, present and future.
Our professional vacation planning services have no vacation planning fees for our services. While most large travel companies presently charge planning fees ranging from $30 to $100, our service continues to provide vacation planning “fee free” along with providing competitive pricing, extra values and AAA expertise for you our member.
AAA volume purchasing power, throughout the United States, ensures that we can remain not only competitive in pricing, but we also can offer enhanced values and benefits for our members. You may be familiar with our numerous two category upgrades on many popular cruise sailings or our shipboard credits up to $200 per cabin with major cruise lines. However, you may not be aware that our purchasing power with major cruise lines and hotel package programs often results in additional benefits, such as cabin assignment upgrades, room view category upgrades and even enhanced discounts on accommodations and park admission packages at Disney World offered through AAA Vacations.
The wide array of complete travel services that we offer differentiates us from most travel agencies. We offer complete Passport and Visa assistance, Passport photos, which are complimentary with purchase of a tour or cruise through AAA, International and InterAmerican Drivers Licenses issued at all locations, $100,000 Travel Accident Insurance at no cost to you, our member; and complete travel store items including discounted luggage, travel accessories and Travel Money.
Our partnership with major tour and cruise suppliers also affords us another unique difference and opportunity. Our Annual Vacation Planning Expo provides the opportunity for all travelers and all interests to meet with the Sales Managers of major tour and cruise companies, enjoy destination videos and discuss travel plans with our professional Travel Agents and supplier Sales Managers on the day of the show. Join us for this Vacation Planning Expo on Sunday, January 31, 2010 at the Ritz Charles in Carmel from 12 noon to 3pm.
While all of the benefits and extra values listed above serve to explain why AAA Travel Agency is Indiana’s Largest Vacation agency, our primary focus is service and expertise for you, our member. We allow you the flexibility to reach us your way.
