5 Minute Read

Do you only use your CAA Membership for roadside assistance? If so, you're missing out. 

Did you know your Membership can help you save at some of the biggest retailers and get amazing deals on insurance? Or that it can save you up to 10% off at some of the biggest hotels in the world?   

From discounted rental cars to exclusive travel discounts, here are a few CAA Membership benefits that you probably didn't know about. 

Bike Assist

The last thing you want to worry about when cycling is getting a flat tire. As a CAA Member, if you run into any issues while riding your bike, we’ve got you covered with Bike AssistTM  roadside assistance for your bicycle. 

Call us if you have a flat tire or a broken chain and are stranded. We will transport you and your bike to your required destination. 

Protection in any vehicle

The fact that a CAA Membership follows you and not a designated vehicle is one of the most underrated benefits of Membership. 

If you need roadside assistance, you can call us for help. It doesn't matter if it's your vehicle, a rental, or someone else's car. All you need is your Membership card or the CAA Mobile App. 

Savings on insurance

Are you looking to cut costs? One easy way is to get exclusive savings on insurance with your CAA Membership. Whether it's auto1, home1, travel2, pet3, life4, or any of our other insurance offerings, you can save money. 

Furthermore, if you bundle CAA Auto and Home Insurance1 together, you will get 10% off on CAA Auto Insurance and up to 12.5% off CAA Home Insurance, plus complimentary CAA Tire Coverage1.

Another great way to save on CAA Auto Insurance is by using CAA MyPace®, Canada's only pay-as-you-go insurance payment program, allowing users to reduce and manage their car insurance premiums while having full 24/7 coverage. On average, CAA MyPace policyholders save up to 50% compared to traditional auto insurance. If you drive less than 12,000 kilometres a year, you can purchase insurance for only the distance needed.

Exclusive discounts on travel

Like insurance, CAA Members enjoy exclusive discounts on vacations and travel-related services. Your Membership guarantees you the best prices on your travel bookings included with CAA Vacations but also provides you with benefits like 24/7 travel assistance for tedious tasks like modifying hotel or flight reservations. 

Having a dedicated travel consultant always available will give you peace of mind, as you won't have to worry about things going wrong during a vacation.  

Do you need to get your passport photos taken before your trip? Then head to your nearest CAA Store and enjoy special Member prices.
