AAA has been named one of Morning Consult’s 2022 Most Trusted Brands in the automotive and travel industries. In both cases, AAA ranks second among the 4,000+ brands they track.

Morning Consult notes that consumers across the globe are prioritizing good-value pricing and strengthening the relationship they already have with their favorite, long-established brands, like AAA.

“We are proud to top of the list of Most Trusted Brands for both the automotive and travel industries,” said Tony Spada, President and CEO of AAA Western and Central New York. “Trust is a core value for our organization, and I’m grateful we have earned the trust of members and the public over the past 120-plus years. We are humbled by this honor, which reflects the voice of the consumer.”

A diverse mix of companies across the automotive and mobility value chain made the industry’s top 10 list. Morning Consult highlighted AAA as a key guide point for vehicle information and transportation support during the volatile vehicle-buying months of 2021.

For instance, AAA releases an annual AAA Car Guide to help consumers navigate the changing automotive marketplace by ranking and rating the newest vehicles for sale. For the 2022 edition of the AAA Car Guide, the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD earned the overall top score. The AAA Car Guide provides consumers with reviews highlighting how many advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are included in the vehicle along with other criteria and information.

Despite being hardest hit by the pandemic, the travel and hospitality industry is the most trusted discretionary category, reports Morning Consult. AAA earned its spot as a Most Trusted Travel & Hospitality Brand largely because of the expertise of online travel agents and online support for travel throughout the uncertainty of the pandemic.

The recent travel landscape has proven that travelers benefit from having an expert in their corner when all or part of their trip is delayed or canceled without much notice. AAA’s expert travel agents have gained new prominence as travelers realize they can save them time, money AND stress by handling the details, researching any travel restrictions or changes and coordinating plans. Travel agents also provide advice and advocate for travelers before, during and after a trip. Their extensive knowledge, training, expertise and experience help clients better understand the current landscape, which at times is complicated. Learn more at www.AAA.com/Travel.
