Plan your holiday ahead and save with NRMA

With the summer holidays nearly upon us, NRMA Motoring & Services is helping families save money with great member discounts for some of Australia´s most popular theme parks, hotels and flights.

NRMA Head of Travel & Touring, Michael Leary said families appreciated the member benefits and discounts on offer as higher petrol prices and end of year gift-giving cut deep into many household holiday budgets.

?NRMA´s Travel Planner, travel insurance, flight and accommodation discounts and discounts at theme parks and attractions are part of our long-term commitment to give a wider range of servicesand benefits to our members,? Mr Leary said.

?Families that plan ahead are up for significant savings. After roadside assistance, travel discounts are the second most asked for benefit requested by our members.

?The best theme park tickets are just a phone call away or a quick trip to a NRMA branch ? it´s simple and saves paying more at the gate.

?NRMA´s 10 per cent member discount means more people are purchasing their Queensland theme park tickets through NRMA than ever before. In fact, motoring clubs sell the most entry tickets in Australia.?

NRMA has consistently offered some of the best planning tools and benefits for travel within Australia, including:

• Theme Park and other Attraction Ticket discounts.
• Holiday Driving Travel Planner (over 15 million driving maps downloaded) ? a great time and petrol saver.
