Speaking up for New Zealand motorists

The AA works with the government, industry and media to represent your interests and the interests of its 1.3 million Members.  AA advocacy and policy work mainly focuses on protecting the freedom of choice and rights of motorists, keeping the cost of motoring fair and reasonable and enhancing the safety of all road users. The AA speaks out strongly both in the media and to Government and industry when motorists aren't getting a fair deal. The AA's views are research-based, reflect the views of Members and reflect the responsible position the Association holds in New Zealand as the country's largest consumer organisation.

Representing motorists is about more than just cars

The AA is a voice of support for the mobility of Members. Members interests extend beyond just cars and roads - they also rely on public transport, cycling and walking.  Ultimately, the AA supports freedom of mobility and individual choice. Members want to see a balanced transport system, including public transport, which preserves their freedom and mobility. They expect a system that is responsive, safe, reasonably priced and environmentally sustainable.
