How to Answer: When was your last road trip, and where did you go?
Advice and answer examples written specifically for an AAA job interview.
18. When was your last road trip, and where did you go?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
This is more than an informal, getting-to-know-you question. Its dual purpose is to determine how good a fit you are for their culture and environment. Road trips are integral to the culture and services AAA offers, and there are many blogs on AAA's multiple clubs and websites that cover this topic, where they frequently compile their favorite trip-planning resources backed by more than 100 years of road-tested experience and expertise. So when sharing the details of the last road trip you took or the next road trip you've planned shortly, include the AAA services and benefits you took advantage of along the way.

Answer Example
"I drove from Houston, where I had some grubbin' BBQ, to New Orleans and stayed a few nights in a haunted hotel, which was fun. Then we drove to Pensacola and enjoyed the beaches for a few days. Great Crawfish there. From there, we drove up to Savanah, and the people there were so warm, and the sights were stunningly beautiful. Then, we drove up to Richmond and strolled the sights, staying at a place right on the river. Such a great town. Then we ended up in D.C. Thanks to AAA, we enjoyed quite a few restaurant recommendations and hotel discounts. Also, we navigated our way through the trip with peace of mind."
