Then, head over to the “Book Travel” section and search for “Car Rentals” or “Hotels.”

Pay with your Aeroplan points

If you use your points to pay, they cover all the taxes and fees.

Note: The points earned includes any regular Aeroplan earnings you could get as well. For example, this rental includes an additional 250 points, on top of earning 8 points for every $1 spent.

And there you have it. Start earning extra Aeroplan points on your hotel and car rental bookings, and get free travel sooner.

Note: Remember you’ll be forgoing any hotel and car rental loyalty points when you don’t book directly with the provider.
