Why is Travel Insurance Worth Considering?
If you’ve never had to cancel a trip, experienced a travel or luggage delay, or needed medical help during a vacation, you’re one lucky traveler. The good news is these kinds of common, unexpected events can create much less stress, inconvenience, and financial setbacks with AAA-exclusive TripAssist travel insurance from Allianz Global Assistance.
Every year, about 330,000 AAA members opt to secure their travel investments, belongings, and themselves with TripAssist—bringing them more peace of mind when their travel plans go smoothly and benefits plus assistance when certain unexpected events happen.
With SmartBenefitsSM, TripAssist can be shockingly easy to use when you need it. For example, if a family of four has a qualifying travel delay that’s detected, it can automatically trigger a proactive payment of up to $400--$100 per traveler included on the plan.** Kids 17 and under are included free on most plans while traveling with a covered parent or grandparent.
Whether you want to protect yourself from losing money or losing your cool, it’s always a smart choice to consider making TripAssist a part of your travel plans.

It began with a meeting on Nov. 5, 1947. Six AAA board members and staff huddled at Washington, D.C.’s famed Mayflower Hotel to forge something new. One of AAA’s primary missions since its founding in 1902 is keeping roadways safe. With the surge in people and cars in the United States during that time, AAA knew it would need to expand its traffic safety efforts.
