AA Research
At the AA, we believe that informed decisions lead to safer, smarter mobility.
That’s why we invest in ongoing research to better understand the needs, behaviours, and expectations of South African motorists.
Our research explores key topics such as:
- Roadside assistance usage and service trends
- Driver behaviour and safety attitudes
- Mobility patterns and transport choices
- Public sentiment on fuel pricing, licensing, and regulation
- Emerging technologies and their impact on mobility
We use these insights to shape our products, improve service delivery, and advocate for policies that protect and empower road users.
Whether you’re a policy maker, business partner, or AA member, our research offers valuable perspectives on the future of mobility in South Africa.
