Do you cover my car if I use it for Uber?

We may be able to offer cover if your car is used for Rideshare or Uber but we'll need to discuss this with you first. Please call us on 0800 500 231 so that we can assess your individual situation.

Does my Comprehensive policy cover my children's car seats?

Yes, your children's car seats are covered by the policy. It will also cover any fitted entertainment, communications and navigation systems, tools and breakdown equipment permanently kept in your vehicle, seat covers, roof racks, first aid kits, torches, fire extinguishers, maps and aftermarket wheels. It is important your agreed value includes any accessories you have added to your vehicle.

Does my Car Insurance Policy include AA Membership?

AA Membership is not automatically included in your car insurance policy, but can be purchased separately. It will give you dollar discounts off your insurance premiums. If you're interested in more information, please visit our website .

Can I include Excess-Free Glass Cover on my policy?

You can add Excess-Free Glass Cover to your Comprehensive or Third Party Fire & Theft policies. Glass Cover is not available on Third Party, Classic Vehicle, Motorcycle, Caravan and Trailer policies. If you choose not to include Excess-Free Glass Cover on your Third Party Fire & Theft policy, damage to your windscreen or window glass is covered only if it’s caused by attempted theft or vandalism and the excess would still apply. If you choose not to include Excess-Free Glass Cover on your Comprehensive policy, we will still insure your windscreen and window glass, but you will need to pay an excess for any claim you make.

How do I add a driver to my car policy?

To add a driver to your car policy, first sign in to your My AA Insurance account . Choose the policy you want to update from your policy list, then select Update your policy from the top left menu. Under Your car you'll see Listed drivers . You'll need to be able to provide their full name, date of birth and answer questions about their driving history. If you have a classic car, motorhome or motorcycle, policy please contact us so we can add a driver for you.

Who is covered to drive my car?

Our car insurance has an open driver policy, unless a special term has been applied to your policy. This means that any drivers who are over 25, with a full New Zealand licence or overseas equivalent, with no criminal convictions and a clean driving history are automatically covered. We do recommend that you list regular drivers, as well as drivers who don’t meet the above criteria, such as those under the age of 25. Please see your policy schedule to determine if a special term has been applied to your policy.
