AA welcomes new Centre to service Queenstown community

8 April 2026

The AA has opened a Centre in Queenstown, bringing a full suite of licensing and insurance services to the region’s burgeoning population.  

AA Head of Centre Network Julian Travaglia says the demand for in-person services has significantly increased in the Southern Lakes area over the last several years.  

“Opening a full-service AA Centre in Queenstown allows us to better support our AA Members and customers locally and deliver a more connected experience. 

“Visiting the AA has arguably never had a better view!” 

Located in the Remarkables Park Town Centre in Frankton, the Centre brings together essential AA services in one location, including insurance, driver licensing, vehicle registration, identity services and general AA Membership support.  

Julian says, “Our existing driver and vehicle licensing Agency has served the community well, but it’s evident we needed more space and more people for the number of customers we receive daily. The new Queenstown AA Centre is fully equipped to manage multiple visitors at once, including learner licence test bookings.  

Overseas licence conversions are expected to be a popular service at the new AA Centre due to the region’s tourist appeal. Queenstown airport recorded 1 million international visitor arrivals in 2025, up from 900,000 in 2024.  

“Queenstown is a huge attraction for overseas visitors, who may decide to stay longer term and require a licence conversion. It can be a complex transaction, so having a dedicated in-person AA Centre where they access the service and ask any questions is a major bonus.” 

The current AA Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency located on Glenda Drive will be closed from April 2, with the new Queenstown AA Centre open for business from April 8.  

“Our team is looking forward to supporting new and existing customers and welcoming the community to the new space.”
