The Automobile Association of South Africa provides services to everyone who uses our South African roads.

Whether you’re a motorist or motorcyclist; a passenger, commuter or pedestrian, we have your best interests at heart.

Since our inception in 1930, we make it a priority to engage publicly on, and become involved in, a range of projects and topics relevant to the automobile and transport industry at large. Among these... bringing to market the first crash tests for locally-sold vehicles, promoting pedestrian road safety through our Walk Safe and Visibility campaigns. We continue to represent the interests of road motorists by vocalising the issue of rising fuel costs, and, in the absence of regulation in the towing industry, we have introduced a service charter to bring about transformation in the sector.

Our number-one priority is to be there for you in your time of need: to provide help when you need it most.
