aa insurance

AA Insurance is a joint venture between the New Zealand Automobile Association, New Zealand’s iconic and most trusted brand, and Suncorp-Metway Limited, Australasia’s largest general insurance group.   While we stand on the shoulders of giants, our guiding principles are very much our own: to eliminate stress and provide certainty for our customers.  We know that when we get this right, everything else follows. 
And we believe this formula works for us.

It’s what drives us to provide superior claims service and market leading benefits on our vehicle, home and contents insurance products. 

It has helped us earn a strong A+ financial rating so we can offer security and stability to our customers.
It has also consistently placed us as one of the best companies to work in New Zealand according to the JRA.  It is a reflection that we don’t let the business bottom line distract us from caring for our people.  The opinions of our staff contribute to our strategic planning and their insights help us identify even better ways of working together.
