A TripTik is an online trip-planning tool offered by AAA (formerly known as the American Automobile Association).
While traditionally a paper-based, custom route planning service, the TripTik has evolved into a digital platform designed to help users plan road trips by providing detailed maps, points of interest, hotel recommendations, restaurant suggestions, and more. It's essentially a personalized guide for your journey.
Here's a breakdown of what the modern TripTik Travel Planner offers:
- Route Planning: The core function is to create a detailed route between your starting point and destination.
- Points of Interest (POI): TripTiks highlight attractions, landmarks, and other interesting places along your route.
- Hotel and Restaurant Recommendations: TripTiks offer suggestions for lodging and dining options, often including AAA Diamond ratings and member discounts.
- Maps: Detailed maps are provided to help you navigate your journey.
- Customization: Users can customize their TripTik based on their preferences, such as preferred routes, types of attractions, and budget.
In essence, a TripTik helps simplify road trip planning by consolidating essential travel information into a single, easy-to-use resource.
