AAA Car Rental Discounts: How To Save 20% on Your Next Rental!

In case you aren’t familiar, the American Automobile Association (AAA – pronounced “Triple A”) is a membership-based federation club that provides roadside assistance and other benefits like discounts on travel, dining, retail purchases, and much more. It’s a privately held, nonprofit organization formed in 1902 and currently has over 60 million members.

As an AAA member, you’ll receive access to a wide variety of online travel discounts (including AAA rental car discounts) as well as full access to AAA travel agents for in-person service. All you have to do is show your AAA card for proof of membership, which you can purchase for as little as $56 per year.

AAA members save up to 20% on car rentals and also take advantage of additional special offers to increase their savings even more!

What Companies Offer AAA Car Rental Discounts?

Unfortunately, not all rental car companies offer AAA deals. The three rental car companies that currently provide AAA car rental discounts are Hertz, Thirty, and Dollar. All three of these companies are part of Hertz Global Holdings, so AAA discounts really only apply to one company and three of its brands.
