Before you head out, remember to:

Get Road Ready

Take care of your car. Have it serviced to ensure that all maintenance and repairs are completed before you go. Waiting to fix mechanical issues increases the risk of a breakdown and can lead to more costly repairs needed – something you want to avoid while on holidays! Did you know that CAA Members SAVE 10% at NAPA Auto Parts?* It’s as easy as showing your CAA card.

Map it Out

Once you’ve calculated your trip’s distance and time, create a budget for gas, food and lodging. If you’ve got a long way to travel, or are travelling with young children, remember to build in plenty of pit stops and time for sightseeing along the way. CAA Members can stop by a CAA Store to pick up free maps, TourBooks® or TripTiks®, or use CAA’s online TripTik Travel Planner.

Make a Plan

Think ahead and research rates for accommodations before you go. Book your hotel or lodging in advance for the best rates. CAA Members SAVE up to 15%, plus EARN 10% bonus Best Western Rewards® when they stay at Best Western properties.*

Ride in Style

Don’t rule out alternative methods of transportation. If you’re headed to a major city, it might be more cost-effective to take the train, after factoring in the cost of gas and parking. CAA Members SAVE 10% on standard fares with VIA Rail.*

Use CAA Dollars®

Did you know that you could use your CAA Dollars to book a tour, hotel stay, rental car, and more? Be sure to speak with a CAA Travel Professional about how to use your hard-earned CAA Dollars towards your road trip.
