Most motor association clubs require a membership fee, but a few sell trip planning guides and other information separately. Some associations provide hotel information on their websites that you can access without a charge or a membership fee. However, in order to receive motor association hotel discounts, you'll need a paid membership. Typical motor association hotel information includes reviews based on a ranking system, and amenity listings. Some motor associations provide more in-depth information, such as neighborhood descriptions, recreational opportunities in the area and nearby restaurant listings.
Although, it's always helpful to read motor association hotel reviews, remember that any type of travel advice may be biased, outdated or inaccurate, depending on the travel advisor. It's always a good idea to do your own research and get a second opinion to verify hotel information, especially when it comes to your safety. Check on-line travel advisors such as TripAdvisor to find additional hotel information. Some motor associations, such as AAA international affiliate the Automobile Association, or AA, take special precautions to ensure their hotel reviews are as accurate as possible.
AAA is a national motor association that encompasses smaller affiliate and state-based motor associations throughout the U.S. The motor associations work together to provide hotel information and pricing. You can find hotel reviews, including customer reviews, and other useful information, such as hotel comparisons, descriptions, amenities, features, photos and location depictions on the AAA website. You don't need AAA membership to access this information or to book hotels, but you won't receive AAA discount pricing without it. You can also visit your local AAA affiliate office in person and receive accommodation planning assistance and services with a membership card.
Although businesses can join automobile associations such as AAA to receive hotel travel information and booking assistance, some motor associations cater to businesses, such as America's Independent Truckers' Association, or AITA. Get a corporate discount and book hotels based on features, such as location, airport or attraction; hotel brand and name; bus or truck parking; and amenity and service preferences, with AITA. Depending on the affiliated hotel chain, you may or may not find a review listed with AITA. Nonmembers can use AITA's services and receive discounts.
AAA works with many international motor associations, including AA and its European and South African affiliates and the Canadian Automobile Association and its affiliates. You can look up hotel information and make reservations via these affiliates or through AAA. Some AAA affiliates, such as the Alberta Motor Association in Canada, cater specifically to corporations, as well as to individuals.
