Why Your Traveling Sports Family Needs AAA

Does your family travel to support young athletes or your favorite team? Are you on the road every weekend, or on your way to the airport, ready to cheer from the bleachers?

As you build your pre-travel checklist before the next away game, a AAA membership might not be the first thing you consider. Sure, emergency roadside service might come in handy in the event of a breakdown—if you’re traveling by car. But, you may be surprised to learn that there are plenty of other Member benefits to help as you follow your team to victory.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
Let’s get the most obvious benefit out of the way first. If you drive to the next game, you’ll want to have your bases covered. If you get stranded on the roadside, just call AAA for help. Their technicians can often fix the problem right there on the road—and get you to the game with no worries. No need to get updates on the score from the side of the road.

There are three levels of membership to choose from—Classic, Plus, or Premier. All AAA Members can get basic services, like towing, mobile battery service, and lockout service. Some available services vary between membership levels. Since you travel long distances, you likely want Plus or Premier, which cover up to 100 miles of towing per service call.

TRAVEL DISCOUNTS
Your team’s next game could take you far from home. Travel can come with many expenses, from flights, to car rentals, to hotel rooms, and more.

Here’s an unexpected AAA membership benefit—travel discounts. Use your AAA membership to get discounts on car rentals and hotel rooms.

While away, you can use your AAA membership for restaurant discounts. Get a delicious meal for the whole family and save your money for merch at the game.

If you’d rather not worry about all the small details, you could let a AAA Travel Advisor take care of everything for you instead. This way, nothing is forgotten and you can focus on following your team to victory.

DISCOUNTS ON TRAVEL GEAR
If you travel, that means you need to pack. You’ll need luggage and other travel accessories, like organizers and power banks. Did you know you can buy these things from AAA? Plus, if you’re a Member, you’ll save on everything you purchase.

ONLINE TRAVEL TOOLS
You don’t need to buy anything or break down on the roadside for your AAA membership to come in handy for your sports travel. There are plenty of online travel tools available to Members to use at any time.

You can use AAA’s online TripTik Travel Planner to plan your route to the next away game, and you can even order a printed version. You can access a full gallery of digital maps and order printed maps if you like. You can even utilize digital Tourbooks to make the most of your next trip—why not stop at an attraction or two on your way to the game?
