AA Insurance – Background
AA Insurance, a leading car insurance company serving South Africa, is just one part of the AA company whose various services have been available throughout South Africa for over 80 years.
Historically, AA Insurance’s parent company was a pioneer in the field of providing roadside aid to South African drivers whose cars broke down while on the road. Today, AA is practically unrecognizable from that company formed in 1930 and its wide range of services include the roadside assistance where it began, but also car insurance, technical advice, legal advice, driver training, travel advice and holiday travel packages. By 1965 the company boasted a membership of 250,000 members and by 1980, the membership stood at 675,000. In the year 2000 an AA Club was formed which offered Battery Services and a National Call Center.
AA insurance is an authorized financial services provider (FSP licence number: 16354) and is part of the Telesure Group which owns a few other well known insurance companies. The directors are Karen-Anne Bryden and Nico Philippus Crous and the parent company’s main office is located at Denis Paxton House, Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, Allandale Road, Kyalami, 1685.
