COMPARE THE AARP MOTORING PLAN TO BETTER WORLD CLUB

Facts:

BWC provides nationwide 24-hour emergency roadside assistance including towing, lockout and flat tire assistance, jumpstarts, gasoline delivery, and winching.

BWC is the environmentally friendly alternative to other auto clubs. BWC supports sound policies like public funding for mass transit and the broad enforcement of the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. One percent of all revenues go towards environmental cleanup and advocacy.

BWC membership options include travel discounts, free maps and trip routings, and insurance. We donate $1.00 for every online booking made through our web site and offer members free carbon offsets (to help fight global warming) when they make their airline reservations through Better World Club, or purchase Better World Insurance.
