The
AA Car Insurance History
As one of the most well known of the UK automobile
associations the AA has a history and reputation which goes back
to 1905, when it was originally set-up to assist drivers in avoiding
police speed traps! As the movement began to move forward, the
famous AA handbook was first published in 1906 to the delight
of those looking for assistance and advice about the roads of
the UK, with AA route maps introduced between 1910 and 1929. By
1914 the AA had a membership of some 83,000 people – nothing
short of a miracle in the early 1900s – and the animal which
we know so well today was well on the move.
Famous for their breakdown and recovery service,
1949 saw the first official “roadside rescue” and
while it was initially restricted to the London area it was soon
rolled out across the whole of the UK. Since the first “roadside
rescue” was completed the membership of the group has multiplied
as have the services available. Car insurance has been a major
recipient of interest from the members and the AA are also involved
in an array of other third party breakdown recovery services (behind
the scenes).The group has been sold on a number of occasions with
buyers attracted by the large, loyal customer base which has helped
to create a business now worth in the region of £6 billion!
While the online car insurance division will remain
one of the central units of the business, it is the level of trust
and the fact that they are wholly independent which has allowed
the numbers and profits to move ahead so markedly. The AA are
now involved in a whole range of insurance services but their
online car insurance comparison site is still the centre of much
attention.
