Fall road trip? Get set to see spectacular autumn colours this season.
The reds, the yellows… and emerald! With CAA’s preferred car rental partner National’s Emerald Club®, you’ll enjoy a faster and more convenient experience when renting a car – plus access to special, members-only perks.
Haven’t heard about the Emerald Club? Here are the top five things you need to know.
1. Being a Member has its privileges.
No more waiting in line. As an Emerald Club member, you get to bypass the rental counter and go directly to the Emerald Aisle® – available at more than 70 major airports in Canada and the U.S.
You can also reserve a Midsize car (at participating locations) and choose any available vehicle in the Emerald Aisle. The keys will already be in the car, so you can be on your way – quickly and conveniently.
2. It’s even better when you’re a CAA Member.
Got a CAA Membership? Connect your CAA account to National's Emerald Club and you’ll instantly start benefiting more from the program.
What’s more, your CAA Membership (Everyday, Classic®, Plus®, or Premier®) automatically grants you access to your Emerald Club tier:
- CAA Everyday & Classic Members join the Emerald Club for FREE
- CAA Plus Members join the Emerald Club for FREE at Executive® status
- CAA Premier Members join the Emerald Club for FREE at Executive Elite® status
3. CAA Members enjoy exclusive benefits.
CAA’s Preferred Car Rental partners can get you to where you need to go, with Member-exclusive benefits and savings around the world.
Additional CAA Member Benefits in North America include:
- Two free additional drivers*
- Free unlimited mileage*
- Discount on GPS rentals
- Free child or baby seat at airport locations
- 10% off pre-paid fuel options
- Earn up to 10 CAA Dollars® on a full-size or larger vehicle in Canada and the United States of America*
- ...and more!
4. CAA Premier® Members get a bit extra.
It pays to be a Premier Member. When you’re a top-tier CAA Member, you get to enjoy the added benefit of a two-day complimentary car rental in conjunction with a CAA tow.
If your car is towed on one of your five available calls due to a mechanical breakdown, and you require transportation, we’ll arrange for a Midsize rental for two consecutive days at no charge at participating locations in Canada (subject to availability).
5. Booking your car rental through CAA Travel saves you money.
No matter what tier of CAA Membership you have, all CAA Members enjoy exclusive car rental benefits when booking through a CAA Travel Consultant or online.
