About Us
For over 120 years we've been helping Kiwis on their adventures! Today, we're one of New Zealand's most respected and trusted brands. Get to know a bit more about us here.
Our History
Founded in 1903, the Association started as a small group of motoring enthusiasts in Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau, created by eye surgeon Dr George Thomas Humphrey de Clive-Lowe. Over the next couple of decades, it expanded to 15 regional clubs, all with a focus on providing roadside assistance and advocating for driver safety and motorists’ interests.
In 1991 those clubs were consolidated into what we now know as the New Zealand Automobile Association - a club that has a strong Membership base.

He Ngākau, meaning "The Heart" in English, perfectly embodies the essence and core values of the AA. Just as the heart is central to our existence, He Ngākau symbolises the central hub of creativity, collaboration, and innovation.
