CAA Travel Agency (NEO) Ltd
Classification: Travel Agency
CAA traces its roots back to 1903, when 27 motorists formed a club to help owners of a new invention known as a "horseless carriage". Today, CAA is a federation of 9 automotive clubs serving over 5 million members through more than 140 offices across Canada, offering a variety of services and savings.
CAA North & East Ontario is one such auto club serving Members in Ontario ranging from such districts as Sudbury, Timiskaming, Kenora, Rainy River, and Thunder Bay to the regional municipality of Ottawa. They deliver unequalled value to their members in the areas of automotive, membership, travel, insurance and related services. To this end they conduct their business in a progressive, professional and efficient manner, take up advocacy issues and offer an array of savings, while supporting the objectives of the CAA and AAA.
