Having the convenience and stress-free ability to take care of DMV business at the local AAA office on route 9 is GREAT news for AAA members. In the next few weeks, I need to update my drivers license - what a relief!

Sandra,
Sorry about the link; thanks for the correction.
Don’t get me wrong: AAA is a good deal, for a lot of reasons, and now I don’t get free maps anymore with ABW. We just got cynical about how much money AAA was (is) spending on state and fed. lobbying efforts — didn’t want to fund that.

Matt - Couldn’t access A Better World using the URL you provided. After Googling it up, found the correct URL is www.betterworldclub.com.

I’m reluctant to give up my AAA membership in favor of a different one because I get my money’s worth out of the hotel and car rental discounts alone.

I guess from a convenience standpoint this is good news for MA drivers. But my initial reaction to this news was slightly more skeptical: One of the biggest lobbyists in the country for all things related to driving more, now in bed with a governmental agency to regulate the same activities. Doesn’t seem right. Just another reason to switch to AAA’s leaner, greener competitor, A Better World (abetterworld.com); as I did.

Michelle,

I also read that in the MWDN today. Thanks for posting it. I am also a AAA member and it’s GREAT news! This is the next best thing to having a Framingham RMV branch as we used to. AND, I have also noted that the old downtown RMV location remains vacant!
