About AAA Western and Central NY

Why AAA WCNY?

When you think of AAA you may think road service, TripTik or TourBooks. While those are all accurate, AAA also has a thriving full service travel agency. In January 2012, AAA Western and Central New York took a leap into the travel landscape and created our AAA Magic Creator Program -- AAA Independent Contractor Program. This took off 10+ years ago and we've not looked back.


We are a small teAAAm, only 75 IC's, but we are mighty. Our IC's can specialize in specific destinations/products or are open to sell all vacations. Our IC's work when it's convenient and are their own boss however each independent consultant is partnered with an internal partner to assist with questions, concerns and/or guidance.


Partnering with AAA gives you the brand to back you up as well as a strong partnership with our preferred suppliers. Many of these suppliers will offer special benefits you can't get anywhere else.


AAA WCNY covers Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse regions of New York.
