Senior Auto Travel Counselor

As a Senior Auto Travel Counselor, you're the expert in road trip planning. Whether working for an auto club, travel agency, or corporate travel department, you help people plan driving journeys — plotting routes, identifying lodging, suggesting attractions, and anticipating problems before they happen.

The role requires deep geographic knowledge and travel expertise. You need to know road conditions, seasonal considerations, and worthwhile stops across regions. You're creating custom itineraries for everything from weekend getaways to cross-country adventures, matching travel style with realistic driving expectations.

You'll spend significant time on logistics coordination. Road trips involve timing — how far to drive each day, where to stop, what to do when weather or construction disrupts plans. The best counselors anticipate these issues and build flexibility into itineraries.

At the senior level, you're likely handling complex trips and VIP members while mentoring newer counselors. The hardest part is balancing what customers want with what's realistic. People underestimate driving time, overestimate what they can see, and sometimes have conflicting priorities among travel companions. Success means crafting trips that actually work.
