CEO'S MESSAGE
Deborah Barga, CEO, AAA Shelby County
The continued COVID-19 pandemic can be confusing for all of us as we navigate our way through the holidays and potential upcoming travel plans. Our expert team of travel advisors
are able to help travelers make their travel plans with confidence, including the appropriate travel insurance
that’s available to help protect your investment.
PACK FOOD AND DRINKS
This could reduce the number of times you stop at restaurants and stores.
CALL AHEAD
Ask about any restrictions or changes to amenities and check-in processes. Inquire about their cleaning protocols.
UNDERSTAND CANCELLATION POLICIES
AND INSURANCE
Hotel cancellation policies can vary, based on when you booked, what site you used, and whether the booking was a special rate. Understand what the insurance policy will cover if you need to cancel and what exclusions may apply regarding covered cancellation reasons before you purchase the policy.
Lastly, as you approach this unprecedented holiday gift giving season, remember that for almost 100 years AAA Shelby County has been here for our members, no matter the conditions.
This holiday, consider sharing that security with your loved ones through a AAA Shelby County gift membership.
This simple, yet appreciated, gift provides you an easy shopping experience, as you can purchase it online at AAA.com, in person at our office, or call us at 937-492- 3167 and avoid those crowds at the stores this year.
Now more than ever it’s important to work with an expert when making travel plans. I encourage you to consider the options available for travel while safely navigating the current COVID-19 situation. Many travelers are choosing to return to travel with both flights and/or road trips. In fact, road trips have become the option of choice while the price of gas remains historically low.
If this type of travel is in your future this coming year, you may wish to consider these suggestions before you begin your trip:
PREPARE YOUR VEHICLE
Visit a reputable repair facility to make sure your vehicle is in tip-top shape before you set out on the road.
PLAN YOUR STOPS
Destinations and businesses may have adjusted hours of operations. Call ahead.
PACK YOUR CLEANING SUPPLIES
AND FACE COVERINGS
Some regions have strict ordinances requiring the use of face coverings; make sure you’re prepared.
