Auto Club Membership for Travel RNs

Auto Club Membership: Many travel nurse agencies offer a discount or free membership to an auto club. Travel nurses will have access to roadside assistance, hotel discounts, rental cars, free trip routing with detailed directions and maps, emergency check cashing, and no fee travelers checks.

Regardless, it does not hurt to ask your travel nurse recruiter if auto-club membership is an option, as well as any other perks you may have heard from your colleagues.
