AARP Membership Unlocks Big Discounts on Travel, Dining and More
AARP membership now provides a range of travel and lifestyle discounts for anyone willing to join. The organisation, once associated mainly with older adults, has expanded its benefits to include deals on google flights, hotels, car rentals, and dining. With an annual fee of just $16, the savings can quickly add up for frequent travellers and entertainment seekers alike.
The membership grants access to the AARP Travel Center by Expedia, where discounted google flights, hotel stays, rental cars, cruises, and activities are available. At least 25 major hotel chains—including Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, and Accor—offer members a minimum 10% discount, with some promotions pushing savings even higher. Exact percentages vary, but the deals are listed on AARP's official travel site.
Car hire companies like Avis, Budget, and Payless also participate, giving members up to 30% off rentals. For those attending events, Ticketmaster provides up to 40% off select shows and performances.
Beyond travel, AARP members can save 10% to 15% at thousands of restaurants worldwide. The membership itself costs $16 per year, or $12 with auto-renewal, and includes a free additional membership for a spouse or partner. Unlike in the past, there are no age restrictions—anyone can join and access the benefits.
The discounts cover a wide range of services, from google flights and hotels to dining and entertainment. With a low annual fee and no age limits, the programme is designed to appeal to a broader audience. Members can check AARP's website for the latest promotions and exact savings details.
