Helping to smooth the way

Any BCAA member who
travels a lot -- or even those
who do so occasionally -
should get to know the
people in BCAA'’s Reser-
vations and _ International
Travel Services. Every one
of the eleven BCAA offices
in the province offers these
valuable services.

Members planning to take
a trip who have had their
itinerary worked out by
Auto Trip Planning can take
the next step to happy
motoring by asking about

the hotel reservation service
offered to travellers.

Members can select hotels
and motels along their route
~ from Northern Canada to
Southern Mexico -- and
BCAA will make reser-
vations for them.

The International Services
staff assists members
planning an overseas holiday
or business trip by providing
all manner of aids to make
the trip more pleasant. They
will help members obtain a
Carnet de Passage which is,

in effect, a “passport” for the
car and is useful for the
person planning to drive his
or her own car across
borders in, say, Latin
America.

Car insurance to provide
coverage in a foreign
country is also available to
BCAA members through
overseas travel services,
along with International
Driving Permits, European
maps, travel guide books
and reciprocal cards that
will give an entree to auto
clubs in other parts of the

world.

If members are planning
to camp on a European tnp,
International Services will
supply a permit they can use
at campsites for iden-
ufication instead of using a
passport. BCAA can even
make sure members have a
place to pitch their tent or
park their trailer or van by
reserving in advance.

No matter how members
travel or what the destintion,
BCAA is there to help
smooth the way.

DON'T DRIVE ALONE

The BCAA service
greatest demand by
members is the Emergency
Road Service -- ERS, (for
short).

Begun in April 1962, ERS
has grown from just over
17,000 calls for assistance in
its first year of operation to
over 192,000 calls in 1981 in
the Lower Mainland alone.

Of those calls, just under
32,000 came from North and
West Vancouver.

Designed to come to the
aid of stranded motorists 24
hours a day, ERS dispat-
chers have recently been
equipped with an up-to-the-
minute computer system
that helps to speed the
Nearest available driver to
the scene of the trouble.

BCAA members always
know that assistance rides
with them and can be called

upon in time of need. And
that feeling is worth a lot

more than the cost of a
membership.
If you are not yet a

member, ask about it at the
North Shore office, 1605
Hamilton Avenue or at your
nearest BCAA office and

learn of the many valuable
benefits you receive.

We're BCAA approved!
