Auckland, 4 December 2020 – AA Insurance has won double gold for its outstanding customer service in the 2021 Reader's Digest Quality Service Awards (QSA).
With scores of 74 out of 100 for its car insurance, and 71 for its home and contents insurance, the general insurer topped the rankings in the insurance category for both products.
“This is the seventh consecutive year we have won gold for car insurance and have won gold and silver in equal measure since 2015 for home and contents insurance,” says AA Insurance Chief Executive, Chris Curtin. “I’m hugely proud of our team for the commitment they show every single day for delivering an exceptional customer experience.”
The awards put a spotlight on companies that go beyond customer expectation. A representative sample of 1,500 Kiwis of a mixed demographic, were asked to rate their experience of companies in different industry categories based on five key pillars of service: personalisation, simplicity, consistency, understanding and satisfaction.
“AA Insurance exists to care for and help our customers and it’s truly rewarding and humbling to be recognised in this way,” says Chris.
