I agree with Bahston. I do not travel out of the country that often so I go with AAA. Normally I have already decided where I want to stay, but they may can help you with that if you have not. Usually, they think of and include something I have not thought about. Prices do not seem to be any different than what I see online, but I am satisfied that the trip will go more smoothly and I have someone to call if it doesn't. If you travel a lot and you know all the potential glitches you are probably ok to do it on your own. In my case if something goes wrong I can always tell wife blame it on the TA, even if not their fault either.
