Auckland, 19 December 2019 – AA Insurance was a top performer in Consumer NZ’s annual insurance provider customer satisfaction survey and has been named its 2019 People’s Choice award winner for car, home and contents.

Seventy-three percent of AA Insurance customers were very satisfied with their provider for car insurance, compared with the industry average of 65%, while 65% were very satisfied with their house insurance (vs 55% industry average), and 68% for contents insurance (vs 58% industry average).

AA Insurance shares the awards with FMG and MAS that also scored well above industry averages.

People’s Choice winners are established through analysis of Consumer NZ surveys that have been sent to Consumer members and supporters – 5,431 were surveyed for car, 4,853 for home and 5,086 for contents insurance. A business must be a standout performer in customer satisfaction to achieve People’s Choice status. 

AA Insurance Chief Executive Chris Curtin says the team is ecstatic to receive these awards especially given the strict criteria that companies must meet.

“We’re delighted. It’s a real testament to our continued hard work in a very competitive market, to make a difference in our customers’ lives, and be there when they need us most. 

“It also shows our model of transparency and fairness is working, giving customers a fantastic, positive experience we’re all proud of.”
