May - June 2008 - Travel Members Get Lowest Online Hotel Rates at AAA.com AAA members who visit AAA.com to book a hotel room are more likely to find a better rate there than on other leading Web sites, according to a recent survey. In a review of several online travel booking sites, AAA.com offered the best publicly available rate on partner hotels 69 percent of the time. The latest survey of online lodging rates was conducted by PhoCusWright in December and compared AAA.com to Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz and AARP. AAA.com had the lowest rates 69 percent of the time on the 93 AAA partner hotels included in the study, followed by AARP, 14 percent; Travelocity, 13 percent; Orbitz, 10 percent; and Expedia, 9 percent. Percentages include same-rate results. The online audit reviewed rates for leisure travel to top destinations for same dates of stay in a standard double room at 300 AAA Two, Three and Four Diamond properties throughout the United States. It excluded corporate, military, government and industry discount rates. "While no hotel or travel company can claim it offers the best rate every time, AAA.com visitors are much more likely to find a better rate than visitors to Orbitz or Expedia," said AAA President and CEO Bob Darbelnet. Members enjoy numerous additional travel benefits on AAA.com, including complete travel services backed by more than 1,100 offices, staffed with qualified AAA travel professionals, searchable TourBook guides, flexible AAA Drive Trips itineraries for popular drive destinations and discounted airline tickets, cruises, car rentals, vacation packages, and more.
