Car Insurance with AA

Ray from Te Atatu South

We have been with AA for at least 30 years and have been happy overall. We have not had many claims at all and any claims for car insurance have not been mine or my wife's fault.
I accept that each year the premium increases but this year I was shocked when receiving the increase of 29.7%
I dont bear a grudge insurance companies having to increase their policies but for long time service people 29.7% is totally unacceptable and should be taken up with the Insurance Ombudsman. If anybody can point me to the Ombudsman I would be very much appreciated. Other insurance companies are the same - Wow what a surprise!
They keep blaming Gabrielle but fur us and especially on a pension, being long term members (my wife is 42 years) with 1 or 2 claims none of which were my fault is unaffordable and unless the Superannuation is increased accordingly there is no way that we will find it viable to hold on to a car and lose independence Again attack the old
Can somebody please help me in finding the right person to talk to (even though it will probably do no good but at least try) AND even organise a protest of some kind that would get national tv involved.

Any help and advice would be really appreciated and the old saying is "Put something good out and always some good will come back"
PLEASE HELP

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
