to driving a 16-foot or 26-foot box truck, so
Penske Truck Rental, AAA’s exclusive truck rental
partner, is offering a few safety tips.

on the road
Your travels should
be fun and exciting.
You don’t want to
waste your valuable
vacation time worrying
about identity theft or
resolving problems from credit card fraud. The
Visa TravelMoney® card is a convenient way to
protect your credit and enjoy easy access to your
travel funds.
This prepaid card isn’t connected to your bank
or credit accounts, and is accepted at millions of
merchants and ATMs around the world. It has all of
the perks of a debit or credit card but none of the
dangers you face using cash or your own credit or
ATM cards. You also get a low 3 percent exchange
service fee when you convert funds to local
currency – perfect for multiple destinations where
you’ll need a variety of currencies.
Visit your local AAA Central Penn office to
get Visa TravelMoney® cards at a low fee. Visit

different. Take the opportunity
to familiarize yourself with the
truck’s switches and gauges,
and adjust the side mirrors.
Insurance is important:
A
moving truck is most likely
not covered through your
family’s home auto insurance.
So, the do-it-yourself moving
experts at Penske have several
insurance options, which aren’t
nearly as expensive as one
might think.
Think twice before including household
chemicals (paints, cleaning materials, propane)
that are flammable. It is prohibited by the U.S.
Department of Transportation.
Good luck with your move and be sure to visit
where you can also
find information and great exclusive rates on truck
rentals, accessories, movers, self-storage and other
related services. Or you can call
