We had a pleasant experience, the travel agent took her time to explain the package and answered all of our questions to the best of her ability. As far as I can remember that agency has always been at that location. The facility was updated clean and well maintained. The two hours we spent going over our travel package flew bye. We are satisfied with the price of the trip. It seems to lean heavily towards the good side of a fair price. We had done our research online before we went to our appointment and there is no doubt that going with this travel agency was the smart choice.Thank you AAA Cruise & Travel

I went to AAA on 6/8/19 for an event in partnership with Mary Bridge Safe and Sound. The event provided free safety checks of infant car seats and teaches new parents how to safely install the seats in their vehicles. They do ask for a small donation to fund future events. The gal who helped us was absolutely amazing! Her name was Kelly. She stated that she is a safety coordinator for AAA. Her friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail was perfect.We had a great experience having Kelly help us with our car seats and would not hesitate to return in the future. Thank you Kelly!

I always enjoy visiting this AAA Travel and Cruise Center. It is bright, cheerful and welcoming. Its one of the nicest AAA travel stores I have been to with all the books, luggage and accessories you need for your travel needs. If only all their stores were as nice. Living in Olympia, I use this store because it is so nice and organized. The staff there are always welcoming and helpful. I would recommend this AAA Travel and Cruise Center to anyone.

Attended a presentation about the Railroad Ride and hotel package they offer at the Grand Canyon. Won 2 tickets on the train as a door prize. Was thinking about the trip before I saw the presentation...now Im sure about going. Great office/store with innumerable items to enhance travel for sale. They introduced the many friendly and enthusiast staff and sales personnel. Will be planning a trip with them soon.

Doug Olsen is head and shoulders above any other insurance agent Ive ever met. He is extraordinarily knowledgeable and more importantly, truly cares about his clients. His resourcefulness is exceeded only by his extreme integrity. I would highly recommend Doug for any insurance need, either for personal or business. Definitely call Doug now!

Simply put triple AAA travel does an outstanding job. Weve traveled to all seven continents using them and have found them to be near perfect in planning vacations and getting great deals on airfare, hotels, resorts, tours and cruise ships.Kathy H. and Valerie over the past 25 years have provided our family with first rate service.

Jason Bailey has been representing us as our insurance agent for years and years. Hes always kept us up to date, informed us of changes in a timely manner, and made himself available to any and all questions we may have involving insurance. We switched to Jason many years ago because, I found out that for the same coverage he could provide better rates. And of course now he keeps us on top of a ever changing market. I personally own 9 vehicles, ensuring 3 to 4 constantly,, so maybe service isnt the bottom line maybe its price :-).. Either way now that weve found in Jason, we wont be changing agents again. Thank you Jason for doing such an incredible job for us.

I love working with Jason at AAA Agency. He has always been quick to respond to my questions. Even on the weekend he would email me back. We had a home claim and the company we are insured with was quick and helpful. Thanks guys and keep up the good work!

We have come to rely on Doug Olsen for our auto and home policies. He has not only improved our coverage but saved us money, which equates to real value! He can be counted on to cut through the tremendous amount of insurance din, providing practical coverage realities. His insurance expertise is both comprehensive and complete. He has earned both our highest praise and respect.

Nanci Bacon has the best customer service I have experienced in a long time. She responds right away, follows up and is knowledgeable. She is also very sweet and pleasant to work with. She takes care of the transaction and paperwork and makes your whole experience seamless. I will and have recommended her to other potential customers!

I have worked with Doug Olsen for several years. He is not only a customer and a colleague but hes also my commercial agent. As an owner of an auto glass company I deal with insurance companies every day. But even more than that I work with my customers and hear their complaints about their insurance companies and it ALWAYS comes back to the same thing. It isnt the insurance companies fault, its the agent!This is where Doug separates himself from the rest of the insurance agents. Most agents hear one thing, I want the lowest premium and never consider the fact that someday you might need to use the insurance they are providing.Doug has a different approach, hes more than an agent, hes a consultant. He will sit down with you, understand your needs and explain the fine print to you. He has on several occasions gone above and beyond to accomodate myself and every customer Ive ever sent to him.If youre looking for an agent that is playing on your side the Doug is the only choice. I will continue recommending him to all friends, family, and customers. Thanks for all the years of outstanding service Doug!!!

Very nice facility. The staff is very helpful and friendly. We have been members for years. We went to get an International Drives License (IDL). They also take passport photos. You dont have to be a member to purchase an IDL or get passport photos, but it is a little cheaper if you are.

In the past month I have made reservations for two airline trips. For the first trip I was helped by Val, the second by Renee. I was so impressed with the extra time and effort Val and Renee took to help me get the most appropriate flights for my needs. It was extremely easy to communicate with them by phone and email. I have not flown in several years, so was concerned about making sure arrangements were complete. I would not hesitate to call upon AAA again for future travel plans.

Review №39

Jason was wonderful. My boyfriend and I were with another insurance company and paid a lot each month for our insurance. When Jason gave us a quote it was almost unbelievable how much money we could save by going with his quote. There was no question at all what decision we would make and we have not only saved money each month on our insurance needs but when we got into 2 accidents in 1 day Jason was on the ball making sure we were taken care of and also giving us great advice on what the next steps were. If you are looking for great customer service and honest costs do not hesitate to ask Jason for a quote.

I needed to make reservations for my son to travel for the holidays. Val Dornoff at AAA Tacoma, WA. was fantastic. I have made reservations in the past many times and I always request her services. She is wonderful and does a great job at getting me the best deal. I would be lost if I didnt have Val to help me plan and make my travel arrangements as well as my sons travels. AAA is very lucky to have such a professional like Val working for them.

Weve been working with Diana for about 7 months now planning a trip to Italy. While Diana is very nice its also nearly impossible to get her. Not only does no one ever seem to answer the phones when you dial AAA she is also never in her office. We gave her a list of what to book in November and its almost February and we are still having to hound her to get everything done and to get an updated itinerary to us. Needless to say our group is a little stressed out that we wont get to see everything we wanted due to her slow nature of work. While I think shes a very nice person I definitely wont be working with this company again in the future and would steer anyone away from them if you want something done in a timely manner.

Jason Bailey was our first contact when we began looking for Home and Auto insurance after moving to Washington. He provided the information I needed then and has continued to provide excellent service ever since.Recently we were able to move the umbrella policy from out of state coverage to a local plan at a great savings. I sent Jason an email on the weekend expecting a response on Monday, but he got back to me right away and by Tuesday I had all of the papers completed with signatures and the coverage established. I recommended him to my neighbors and they have also been happy with his services.It is nice to know that we have a knowledgeable go to person for our insurance needs.Jason gets 5 stars, but the web site needs some work - 3 stars there.

I just joined AAA Washington a few months ago, when I found out my free towing included in my auto insurance only covered 5 miles, Wow!My car broke at the Ridge race track, driving in the pits. I called and the very nice lady said no problem (I told her exactly where it was & how I was driving it). She assured me it was covered and opened a case. The tow truck was supposed to arrive 70 minutes later, at noon. At 12:30 I got a text that it would be 1:09 before it arrived.Truck finally arrived and the driver informed me that the tow would not be covered. I called and reviewed the case with a gentleman (all cordial & nice at this point). Then he offered a manager if I wanted. I told him only if his answer was no. The manager confirmed that they wont tow from a Motorsports location.I explained that his company made a commitment to me and should back that. All he had to say was it was a teaching opportunity!NO, it was a customer service opportunity and you Fed it up!! I could have called a local towing company and been home by then if the original lady knew their policy!!Not sure if Ill keep my membership.

We worked with Michelle to book our trip to Disney Land! This is our first time booking a trip and She was extremely helpful and very friendly. She explained everything to us and made things simple for first timers :) I very much enjoyed working with her and would definitely return to her for future vacations. The entire staff is very welcoming!

Jason Bailey is our point of contact, and he was very helpful in providing advice and guidance on auto, renters and umbrella insurance during our relocation to Washington. He really went out of his way to answer any questions, and continues to be super responsive. I didnt feel rushed and he really took his time to make sure that I felt comfortable with the policies. I would recommend working with him.

Heres how Jason Bailey sets himself apart as an agent - he is honest, straightforward, and always has your best interest in mind. He will take an honest look at what coverage you need and give you the best options possible. If youre looking for a bargain basement insurance plan look elsewhere (and youll get what you pay for...) If you want the right coverage with the right agency, your search is over - Just call Jason.

Jason Bailey at AAA goes above and beyond to answer any questions that I may have regarding my insurance. We have just recently changed from another company to AAA for our insurance needs. I have confidence that Jason is looking out for my actual insurance needs, and not just selling me something that I dont need.

Doug Olsen truly puts the needs of his clients first. Doug has helped us consolidate/select the right insurance policies (i.e. auto, rental, umbrella, home) for our family while cutting down the costs. He is honest, quick to respond, and has the technical knowledge to blow your socks off! His insurance prowess and great communication has earned our business for years to come.

Doug Olsen at AAA is my insurance agent for my business, my autos, my boat, my motorcycle, my home, my rental houses, and my 2 office buildings. I would not use him for all my insurance needs if he wasnt ethical, hardworking, honest and competent. He saved me about $7000 per year over my previous insurance carrier just on the auto policies, and more on my homeowners and business policies. I highly recommend Doug Olsen at AAA.

Good service and attention to detail from the representatives. However, I struggle to get through on the phones to AAA, and recently, Ive encountered more wait time than Ive seen in the past. Make sure you plan ahead because its tough to get things taken care of unless you schedule a fair amount of time to try and get through on phone lines or wait in line at the office.

The reason why I love this place is because I went down there to get some AAA Insurance and while I was there I inquired about a cruise and I was very intrigued and what I found out so I put a down payment toward a cruise from me and my four daughters my four grandsons and my one son-in-law so hopefully Ill get that paid off within a year and we can celebrate together as a family on our first cruise

Review №75

Not a good agency if you are law enforcement, military, veteran or crime victim and have a dog (service, working, or for protection) they consider dangerous, the do not provide homeowners insurance in that scenario. They are unavailable for days on end. They do not reliably provide complete information and will fail to add a kid to auto insurance when you ask. I used them for years because I liked that they shop around, but have had no end of problems the last several years. the agent will change insurance companies to save money, not explaining that changing companies is punitive in the hostile world of insurance. My entire insurance situation was placed in peril by them. To me not serving veterans is a non starter, I cannot recommend them. Horrible customer service and very non responsive. Part of customer service is knowing what questions to ask.
