History
Launched in 1994, the company underwrites its own policies and sells direct to New Zealanders..[1]
In 2021, AA Insurance was named New Zealand Insurance Industry Award Direct General Insurance Company of the Year for the seventh time.[2]
In 2024 AA Insurance was ordered to pay a $6 million penalty for misleading practices and overcharging customers. The company improperly overcharged customers around $11 million. AA Insurance acknowledged its mistakes and issued a public apology.[3]
In late December 2025, AA Insurance temporarily halted the issuing of new home, landlord and business insurance policies in the town of Westport due to the coastal town's high flood risk.[4] In early February 2026, the company stopped issuing new home insurance policies in Woodend due to the town's earthquake risk.[5]
