International Car Rental Companies that offer a AAA Discount
AAA discounts are low prices offered to members of the AAA program. AAA provides discounted rates for vacations, roadside assistance and international travel. Travelers may benefit by renting cars overseas through companies that offer an AAA discount. These discounts are applicable to car rentals in certain countries such as Europe, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Australia and Canada. The discount offered varies according to the destination of travel and member privileges. Since AAA is affiliated to various automobile clubs, the services offered by each international club vary.
- AAA members that belong to Show Your Card & Save (SYC&S) program obtain a variety of savings when they use their card towards travel, shopping and car rental overseas.
