Starting in 1906 with a few hundred members, the motor club has grown into a statewide institution respected for its professional excellence, dedication to quality client service, and active role in community affairs. In addition to travel and motoring services, AAA Nebraska’s diversified interests include publishing, computer services, insurance, and financial services.
More than 200,000 Nebraskans faithfully renew their AAA memberships each year, entitling them to dozens of exclusive benefits and services that appeal to anyone who drives a car. AAA Nebraska’s emergency road service operators respond to nearly 97,000 emergency assistance calls a year, and AAA auto travel counselors create personalized trip routings for about 26,000 families a year. But statistics alone don’t tell the whole AAA Nebraska story.
In 1979, AAA Nebraska led the effort to create a travel and leisure publication that could be jointly used by AAA clubs in the Midwest. The following year, HOME & AWAY Publishing was born, which now produces three AAA club publications: Home & Away, Michigan Living, and Car & Travel. Home & Away is the official member magazine for 16 mid-America clubs, with a current circulation of 3.3 million, making it the 16th largest magazine in the U.S. based on circulation.
One of AAA’s most popular services is available to members and non-members alike. AAA Travel Agency, a full-service travel company, provides air ticketing, cruise bookings, group tours, and more from 11 locations across the state. Because of AAA’s national buying power and partnership programs, world-renowned travel industry corporations such as Walt Disney World Travel Company, Hyatt Hotels, and Holland America and Carnival Cruise lines extend special privileges and savings to AAA travel agencies and their clients.
In a search for computer services and programs that would launch AAA in to the next century, AAA Nebraska decided to design a motor club software program that could be marketed to other automobile clubs across the U.S. and Canada. Automation Inc., has done just that. With a staff of 45 employees, Automation, Inc. is providing computer services and systems for motor clubs that reach more than four million members.
But there is more to this diversified giant. In 1948, the Motor Club Insurance Association was formed as an insurer of AAA member vehicles. This Nebraska AAA company has a long history of providing outstanding coverage at reasonable rates, making it the second-largest domestically based insurer in Nebraska. In more recent years, the association has expanded to include homeowner’s, life, and health insurance coverage.
AAA’s commitment to providing quality service to its members and clients has also meant a strong commitment to the state and communities it serves. Even in community service work, AAA’s expertise has filled vital needs.
Looking to the future has been the key to AAA Nebraska’s success. AAA has flourished in many ways as a result of its ability to offer its service expertise to others outside the state, as well as outside the AAA network.
